Keep in mind that this MAY work. It seems to me like the Uni's are too long/the aluminum hubs a bit too thick.. I could be completely off base. 

Pretty sure that is the HPI locked spool BTW.

I was thinking about hitting up a radio shack and picking up the needed LEDs and resistors. I just wanted headlights and taillights. Nothing fancy. I am using the extra slot of my receiver for my heatsink fan tho so I may have to add a power source. I am solid with the soldering iron so I could do pretty much any setup once I figure out how to do it.

when i was using a fan i just made a doubble adapter with a switch on ONE end for the lights.

DRVNFAST, So from what u are saying does the hub seat correctly when its fitted with out the drive shaft (sit flush against the hub & well clear from caliper)??????

from your pics it does look like the shaft it too long for the alloy hubs, u can see the dog bone end is pushed all the way into the diff cup & when u tighten it it binds.

ok your cheepest solution will be to get some stock drive shafts for the rear, ( Just to make shure test ur front shafts in the rear) if that works just copy the front.

Soon im planing to get some alloy hubs for my car, but i plan to mesure the diffrence with a vernier & file down the alloy one.
its either the recess for the shaft or the tabs sticking out. It should be very easy to file it with a fine file & a right angle ssqure

DRVNFAST

Thanks, I'll give that a shot.

know worries m8, let us know how u go, fingers crossed [8D]

Hmm Tempted to snao one of these kits up. I have a s soft spot spot for lancers.

have ya had anyluck yet?

Hey, I just got an e10 and upgraded the esc, motor and battery to get it to go as fast as possible and I've grinded down the bevel on the diff gear set. Has anyone else had this problem and does anyone have any suggestions on a fix for this problem? ( I'm refering to the plastic part on the 88000 Diff Gear Set (15/38T)) I'm also having issues with the main shaft vibrating a lot due to the high rpm; any fixes?

phmaximus

Dammm nice setup...

Ive found that the HPI alloy main shaft reduces most of the vibrations. & a set of ballbearings might be a worth while upgrade
what do u mean by "I've grinded down the bevel on the diff gear set" If u mean u wore it out, it mean that the gear mesh was incorrect, u might have to fit some shims...

jonh522

I already upgraded the main shaft to aluminum and I'm still getting tons of vibration. What are your thoughts on the atomic carbon fiber shaft? Thanks for the shim idea. I'll update you on the progress.

phmaximus

hey
I dident know there was a carbon fiber one, might be worth giving it a shot. Just wondering have u checked the shaft bearings for excessive movement? or the only other thing i can think of is the shaft is bent or out of ballance....

Are u able to upload a vid on youtube???

Hello everyone, im new to rcu ive been reading mostly just getting my information that way. But i have a question since im pretty new to elect. rc im more into nitro, but I have the hpi e10 and I want a little more power. I was looking into the hpi drift 15t motor which I hope is just a simple swap, plug and play? Or do I need to make some changes? Also I was also looking into the castle creations sidewiner 3800kv system, which I know it more work to get it to work with the e10. But what would I need to make the castle work with the hpi? Thank you for your help in advance...

phmaximus

hey m8 go brushless, what did u need to know?

M0BBER

If I install a brushless on the e10, what will I have to change? Motor mount? aluminum gears? alum. driveshaft? what mods will I need? Thank You!!!

jonh522

I've done a full upgrade on my e10: Atomic RC suspension, Viper 8000mah 2s Lipo battery, hpi Aluminum shaft, LRP 3.0 brushless motor with LRP sphere ESC and spektrum 2.4ghz radio control. I also upgraded the bearings to ceramic bearings. I recomend upgrading the beargings because a brushless motor puts out higher RPM and I actually melted the plastic bearings it came with and grinded down the bevel gears in the Differentials. Im still trying to figure out the problem with the drive shaft because there is a lot of vibration. I don't recomend gotting such a fast motor but i like the overkill.

Nice car.... what body do u run? & any movies?
Damm i gotta get one of those batterys

M0BBER

if u go brushless all i recomend is alloy mount, HPI alloy main shaft & bearings

PHRESHKHID

Hello my buddy just picked up a E10 to drift with, and Iwas wondering if anyone knew of anything I could do to it, to get more steering angle?


Thank you

phmaximus

U could try a larger servo horn.

Whats the problem??? not getting sideways???

deudonne

PHRESHKHID - try turning the small trim looking knob on the back of the transmitter/controller. I made this mistake when i first gt this car. I already fitted a longer servo arm before i figured this out. Doh. Took it off again after.

I have a question.

Hot Racing Alu motor mount sucks. Its thicker than the original one, so the motor is set further back. Therefore only half the pinion meshes with the spur gear, and the cover doesnt fit. Any ideas??


BTW I just got the alu brake discs (from ebay australia! only place i could find them)- and there are awesome. I like the way they have the shims built in to them. The guy who had my e10 before me had not installed the shims, so the wheels were loose all the time, and the plastic discs broke. Shame i ordered new hubs with additional shims before they arrived. wont need them now.


Im gonna get an ezrun 60A 9T to go in it soon, but want the motor mount working first. I've also got the alu shaft to fit.

My bro just put a 13.5t 35A ezrun in his yokomo (off ebay) and it is FAST on only at 7.4v NIMH. It beat my mates petrol car.

phmaximus

Hey m8, im using the Yeah racing motor mount & it works great for me, I think your main problem is that u have not adjusted the pinion gear. just loosen off the grub screw & move it up or down so it is allighned, now the cover should fit.

damm that sucks about the shims...

To save a bit of cash look at the ezrun/Yeah racing brushless 35a ESC & motor. thay work a treat. I run them im most of my 1/10 r/c. & on a 11.1v lipo it flys

e10trueno

i just bought an e-10 drift car.i want to swap the brushless velineon motor and esc out of my rustler vxl into my e-10. what do i need to do this swap succesfully?

phmaximus

nothing...

the stock pinion gear will work with the traxxas setup (For real speed, U will need to gear it up tho)

e10trueno

thanks. i bought the aluminum drive shaft with the car...im thinkg about changing the bearings out as well.

phmaximus

are u planing to use the traxxas hump pack? i havent found a mount for the E10 that wont interfear.

ballbearings are well worth fitting & have a look at the alloy motor mounts.

e10trueno

hopefully im going to shoot for a 2s setup.

e10trueno

my e10 witha brushless velineon swap.
