RE: Official DB-01 Durga Thread
Welcome Lanzo!
My EzRun 8.5T Esc/motor combination costs 114USD. It is the same as Yeah Racings offering, although they both now offer version 2 for the price. I had no problems with overheating, after 25 minutes bashing or 3 consecutive 5 minute races.
The short course i am racing has 3 medium jumps and 2 straights (30meters). I barely manage to get to top speed with
a 17T pinion, although the car accelerates very fast!
Basically, i bash around short grass, dirt (hard packed) and pavement.
My setup:
- EzRun 8.5T motor + EzRun 60A ESC (RCMart) or Yeah Racing
- Stock 17T or 23T pinion (on the 91T stock spur)
- Carbide rear diff balls (just to be on the safe side, but i had no indication of overheating with the stock steel ones)
- Single slipper clutch
- Yeah Racing (#TRF501X-018BU) Aluminum Wheel Washer Set (i wanted to fit hex wheels.Nice alternative!)
- Aluminum Front/Rear Suspension Mount Set (this is the only aluminum upgrade which is barely visible and adds strength)
- T-Bone bumpers (a MUST for bashing! Right price for absolute protection)
After 4 months, i never had a problem. No mechanical, no electronics problem! ... Nothing broken even when i bashed around HPI E-Savages acquired a habit of taking over by ramming and throwing 'em in the air! (yes, exactly what you read!)
