RE: My new project
just to play devils advocate this guy may have had his radar gun reading kmh instead of mph.
just sumthin to think about
62 kmh is roughly 38 mph

RE: My new project
I'm really new to this field, but I saw an article in "rc car action" about this (it was a savage, but the principles apply) you might want to check it out

RE: My new project
That article is bull, Kevin at RCCA used some of the worst junk you can put on an R/C car. The only thing he did like you is use an Axial RR engine, I think he got like 55mph out of it? He was running N2O with a K&N pos filter and some other usless junk that adds weight. My Savage is setup loads better, cept I have heavier TVPs and I don't have a 3 speed
.
Sure durability shouldn't be a problem, but I remember my stock T-maxx arms to be very weak. If they still use the same plastic formula, I'd think twice about using them after removing material. Worst part failure I've ever had at WOT was a wheel falling off LOL (on my T-maxx of course), you don't want your arm taking a sump from hitting a speed bump.
I need to do this one day for fun:

I do belive he is right. Even the best modded MT coulddent go from 40-60mph just like that and then to 70.......

RE: My new project
Heres what 66 mph looks like.

This guy is running a drag modded picco .28 p3 and has tried a lot of different gearing options. He said he could get another 1 or 2 mph with different gears.
That motor makes roughly 2.3 to 2.4 hp and hes topping out at 66 so It's gonna be tough to get that axial to 60 mph. Also just a thought... the drag mod from ab mods adds rpm so a drag modded picco would end turning about 40,000 with the right pipe.

RE: My new project
Well i got some parts in today including the engine. I did run into my first issue though. This is for all the people thinking about doing a big block on a small block car.
I ordered the revo spec slipper so i can run smaller spur gears, however traxxas spur gears are 0.8mm pitch. Big block clutch bells are 1.0mm pitch. Traxxas does make 1.0mm spur for a revo but the biggest they go are 40t. I know what you all are thinking "Why not run the stock clutch bell?" Well big block crank shafts are longer and the flywheel nuts are smaller. So here are my options.
1. Run a big block clutch bell setup and be stuck with a 40t spur gear. I want to run a 20t clutch bell, which i think i will burn the clutch up if i try to run a 20/40 gear set up.
2. Use the traxxas big block flywheel nut and clutch bell spacer. My 2 peg clutch my not hold up and the spacer looks cheesy.
Here are some pics....

Wait, so how the heck are all the other Traxxas guys running big block conversions?
Quick shipping man, lets get wrenching[8D]

You can either run the revo spur with the 3 shoe clutch or run one of these if you have the old tmaxx 2.5 tranny.... http://www.hobbypeople.net/gallery/372178.asp

RE: My new project
Yeah thats fine, but tons of T-maxx guys and some 4Tec/Jato guys are running big blocks. The T-maxx dudes with conversions like you, and the latter with custom mounts/setups. Can you take a picture just to clarify what you mean? My understanding of pitch has always been the distance between teeth, are you sure they can't be used together? I guess if you want better info, you can check in the stadium truck forums for guys who have big block Jatos, and see how they are running their spur setups.

RE: My new project
I beleive the revo 3.3's are 1.0 picth and the 2.5's are 8.0 mm pitch... so if you have a 3.3 your good, otherwise you need a mgt spur gear or one of these http://www.buytraxxas.com/product_in...5ik5ppisvgfiq7
I know a few guys are running 1.0mm pitch clutch bells and 8.0mm spurs gears. Apparently it will work for a little while but will eventually eat spurs and or clutchbells.

RE: My new project
yeah they are big bores. I love them. This is my second set. I used to have alot of issues with the stock shocks and i have never had issues with these. The shock shafts are very strong.

dont worry about gears...
ask scotty i have made some gears, and they work great... just takes a lil time creativity
i had a 45 cb meshed with 52 spur... at one time... wasnr worth a crap for ratios.... but it can be done and it aint that big of a deal

Yeah thats what Scotty said. "We will make it work it just takes time" I WANT IT NOW!!!
Scotty doesnt think 20/40 will work. He thinks the truck will barley move.
