RE: Man I suck at .....
Ya tire glueing aint easy.
I seem to have problems with brushed motors. Even with the rite gearing I seem to burn comms quite quick. But i think a lot of itis because the part of my yard that i drive in the most is very dusty and dry. I blew through 4-5 brushed motors in a week or 2. All were either 17t double or 15t double. At least 3 of them were Speed Gems. So If your running a high power brushed motor stay away from the dusty dirt/sand itwill grind your comm away.
I did recently get a trinity P2K2 Pro 27T and it seems to not mind the dust as much as a 17t or 15t motor would for me. Ive put almost 20 runs on itand cleaned it around 10 runs ago and it wasnt as dirty as the others were getting. And it gives me great runtime and more speed then i thought it would. I do need to get a bigger pinion for it thou.
Today I killed my mamba ESC trying to put new Batt leads on it.Good thing I had a spare Tazer 15T esc laying around.
