RE: Mechanical Brakes on brushless buggy
Very cool. We havent tried to keep the mechanical brakes, just using the motor brake like others we know in our local track crowd. As we never ran a Nitro before (we got a roller and went straight to brushless), we didnt have some of the before after experience.
(One test drive of a Nitro in the Fall is our only Nitro powered experience)
SO we're still learning.
One thing we did run into was with a Kyosho 46 tooth plastic spur, when we dropped to an 11 tooth (Mod1) pinion, our motor mount setup left us crowded to the center brace and it did cause us gear mesh issues. When we moved back to a 12 tooth pinion we had clearance for proper mounting. We don't have the finned Fiegao motor, but we are using the bolt on supportive bracket with heat fins from RC-monster.com.
