RE: Heavy Metal Mato - Stage 1
Hey Guys,
On the Mato gearbox's 2.0 they have their flaws but to see the bent shaft like that has not happened with anyone else set up. Now the can come in that way or something tweeked here or there. But something that must be cionsidered is he is running a 60 AMP ESC the RX-18 is only 8 - 10 amp max, EL MOD is 20 amp and I thing Tamiya is 20 amp. Now he said the motors are only running 20 amps max but that is DC brushless imediate snap torque. That why the RC Cars can hit 60 miles an hour within about 40 feet. Not only the gearbox but the suspensions are just not designed for this kind of performance. This type of instant torque will rip a set of $ 250.00 gearbox's. For what they cost and for the ease of repair if something does go wrong they are a solid gearbox for our tanks.
