Brushless Brama 10b
Well today I took out my Brama 10b for its 1st run with the 8.5t BL motor/hobbwing ESC combo since its been installed. Used a 5000mAh NiMh for its 1st run (LiPo's on backorder). All 4 axels are the rear ones off a Nitro RS4 (front were cut down a little), the diff cups are also off the same RS4 Nitro, dogbones are redcat #6006 dogbones, also has yeah racing center and rear alum drive shafts, and has the E10's motor mount to give more pinion gear options.
Well anyways onto the main part (Will post pics once it dries off, and I clean it up a little)
Handling thing was almost uncontrollable. I decided to use On-road TC rims/tires instead of the stock rims/tires for the testing(it spun out super easy on cement with the stock rim/tires). Now boy did this thing go flying though at full throttle when I had it perfectly lined up on the sidewalk. Motor and ESC were both cool to the touch after 5 minutes so I could probably bump it up some in the gearing. Due to it being uncontrollable it went flying into snow banks a few times. Will say one thing about it no matter how fast it was going it never actually flipped from turning.
The rear tires started to lock up after 5-10 minutes, for some reason they just stopped turning period. (Diff might be toasted will check after it dries off))
The chassis you can tell is cheaply made and not suitable for bashing(or a BL setup period). By the screws that hold the motor to the chassis the plastic is starting to shatter. This is not all due to the BL motor it was already cracking before it was installed just the motors torque made a crack go up the side of the pan. Also the chassis rear end snapped early on before I even flipped it once. This was just driving on cement no jumping at all was involved.
I actually already ordered a new chassis last week seeing I figured the motor would have ripped itself out of the thing, I never expected the rear to snap as it did. Now I'm wondering where I could pick up a 2-3mm think piece of aluminum cheap to cut and use as a chassis plate instead seeing it will probably just snap the new one just as easily.
I would have taken a video but unfortunately I don't own one and the digital camera I borrow sucks at videos (I actually tried doing it the vid quality was so bad I just deleted it)
BTW the Brama was ran only 2 times with a brushed motor, and only for a few mins each time(I was VERY disappointed with it) so it was pretty much brand new.
EDIT: Uploaded the photos showing the cracks.
