hey grinder,are you going to run brushless

Grinder · August 13, 2005, 02:51:18 AM

I think so - that way I can run it in both the Sportsman and Mod.... I'm just trying to get as much wheel time as I can.... our Speed Weekend really helped improve my driving (although you wouldn't know it during the races

)

August 13, 2005, 11:20:35 AM

then you should be running mod, stock and nitro for the most wheel time

Grinder · August 13, 2005, 01:21:27 PM

I thought about running Nitro - we'll see how I manage here the next two weeks.... last week was my first time on the track and the car was all buggered up. I think I've (I should say Blake since he spent all the time with me on Tuesday) got it all set up now. I got my new servo in as well so I'll install that today.... I just don't want to screw up anyone's race

0000000000 · August 13, 2005, 02:04:51 PM

For Modified, I'm running my Novak brushless at a final ratio between 5.5 and 6.0

It gets pretty darn hot, but it is able to keep up with the 9 turns. I've added a TC4 fan on top of my ESC, and that's allowed me to get 6-8 mins before thermal shut down.

Grinder · August 13, 2005, 04:07:32 PM

Wow - I'm running 7.17 on mine... I guess I can gear up a LOT then. I'm running 66/23 and 2.5 on the diffs (TC4) - I could be running 28 to 30 instead of 23!

0000000000 · August 13, 2005, 05:32:19 PM

Try a smaller spur gear, if you can. It'll give you less rotating mass, as you wont be increasing the size of your pinion.

Be sure that your ESC gets some cooling though. If it doesn't you're going to thermal out after a few hot laps.

Nothing worse than thermaling out on a straight away - I know 1st hand

Grinder · August 13, 2005, 05:59:00 PM

66 is the smallest I could find for the TC4 - what are you running on yours?
