Like i said nearly 100 times here, the first thing to learn with the E-10 is how to adjust the pinion. and keep checking it, The gear mesh will only be as good as u set it.....
are u running a alloy motor mount, yeah dont wast ur cash on the alloy spur gears thay are T1 alloy rubbish, u cant get a softer alloy.
allso they have a diffrent gear tooth pitch so u cant use the stock pinion


momogt
or even a higher KV rating.....

I just blew my third spur gear out lol even on drift tires... Yea im running the aluminum motor mount from hot racing. what should i do?? Anyone else having problems blowing out their spur gear? Help would be nice thanks.

momogt

i was going to fix mine up but im not going to do it

phmaximus

Sounds like u are having a few problems there, when u used the alloy spur did u replace the pinion with the different pitch?
Don't tell me u used the pinion from the alloy gear with the hpi spur?

How did u set gear mesh and are u sure the mount didn't move casing the gear to strip?

If u can upload a good pic of the worn gear should be able to check for ya

rx7devil210

Hey i got pictures but how do i upload them?

rx7devil210

Here are the pics

phmaximus

dident work?

rx7devil210

I dunnno i uploaded them but didnt work.

rx7devil210

I cant get it to work.

I adjusted the gear mesh with a piece of paper like everyone said to do but it still stripped on me i think those pictures worked thanks for the help.

phmaximus

I was going to wright a big thing about setting gear mesh on the E-10 but thank god for utube, I found this... this is the way i set my gear mesh & i havent stripped any gears, even with a 3900kv motor on 11.1v and rubber tyres.

allso see the way he checks it after tightning to make sure it has a tiny bit of backlash, thats another method i use for all my cars, I skip the first step & go straight to that, dont worry about the paper way I never had much luck with that with some other cars

Just rember the ider is to get the mesh as tight as possible while maintaning a slight backlash the hole way around the spur

Hello there, I would like some help with my newly purchased HPI e10.

phmaximus

whats the problem with it?

twiztid_rc

hey i am new to the whole rc world wanted one for ever and work just started carrying them so i picked up a Scion TC e10.  i want to pump this thin up some with out spending a whole lot already ordered my new bearings, drive shaft, and axels. ordering new steering next.  mine has the Sc-15wp esc i saw the sprinter has the same esc but running  the  HPI Racing Firebolt 15T 540 Motor will this also work in the e10? want to upgrade the motor but don't want to have to change a whole lot tx for any info.

phmaximus

hey cool u can run Lipo batteries safely with that ESC...

Yep that motor is ok to use..... just on the limit, u cant run anything under 15t....

IMO stick with the stock motor, & upgrade to lipo's there will be a noticable preformance increase there...
then look into a $80 ezrun 35a combo

I'm sure this has been asked about 10 times in this forum, but for the experienced drifters/ rc enthusiast what would be the best five first upgrades for bang for buck on my E10. thanks for the help guys!

rx7devil210

Well if you have a brushless motor i suggest you do the aluminum driveshaft because the stock plastic one will bend at high rpms. But i still cant get my gear mesh right to the point where it doesnt burn out my spur gear.

phmaximus

upgrades

1 faster steering servo & alloy steering kit
2 Brushless setup with alloy main shaft
3 oil filled shocks, swaybars
4 custom chassis brace
5 Universial drive shafts & rear spool

rx7devil210 are 100% sure that the mount is not moving???, did u try setting it like in the video?

brdnckl

no my car is pretty much stock hpi e10 rtr. the only thing i put on it so far is rear and front camber setup, and strut tower bar set. what is a good brushless setup? do you have any preferred brands?

rx7devil210

I have a fuze 5800 kv with esc combo in mine but i would go with a brushless flux made by hpi that will be enough power.

phmaximus

One of the best and cheapest is the 35a Ezrun combos.... wouldent go any lower than the 4300kv combo... They work a treat.

[link=http://www.hobbypartz.com/ezrun-35a-9t-3650-motor.html]check this[/link]

brdnckl

I like that combo a lot, would I need to run larger batteries in the the stock 7.2 1500 mah? Also I have been looking every wheree for your steering setup, I believe it's atomic. Can not find it any where

phmaximus

Thats the thing...
U would need a new cheap charger Imax B6 are great bang for buck [link=http://www.ebay.com/itm/iMAX-B6-AC-B6AC-Lipo-NiMH-3S-RC-Battery-Balance-Charger-/230760071045?pt=Radio_Control_Parts_Accessories&hash=item35ba5f3f85]click[/link]
And a cheap Lipo 2s 7.4v [link=http://www.ebay.com/itm/7-4V-5500mAh-35C-2S-RC-LiPo-Battery-Hard-Case-for-1-10-RC-Car-Traxxas-Tamiya-/290678302775?pt=Radio_Control_Parts_Accessories&hash=item43adc6e837]click[/link]


Steering setup... better than mine Yeah racing [link=http://www.ebay.com/itm/Yeah-Racing-E10-042PP-Aluminum-Bearing-Steering-Set-PP-for-HPI-E10-/290680012931?pt=Radio_Control_Parts_Accessories&hash=item43ade10083]click[/link]

brdnckl

thanks for all of the help! i have been looking at the yeah racing steering setup for a few days. i guess i will go ahead and pick it up. what do you think of the sf-50 servo? would it fit in my car without to much mods. thought it would be much better the the stock sf-1 that comes in e10. do you race yours or just drive for fun?

phmaximus

Steer clear from the HPI servo's.... For cheap digital servos. check these blue bird ones..

BMS-661-DMG+HS 6.4km/cm 60deg0.08sec
BMS-617-DMG+HS 6.8km/cm 60deg0.10sec
BMS-621-DMG+HS 7.2km/cm 60deg0.10sec
BMS-616-DMG+HS 10.2km/cm 60deg0.12sec
BMS-620-DMG+HS 10.6km/cm 60deg0.13sec
BMS-660-DMG+HS 14.2km/cm 60deg0.17sec

HPI SF50 12kg/cm 60deg0.18sec
HPI SF2 6.5kg/cm speed ????
HPI SF1 is around 4.5kg/cm & very slow

For the price of the HPI servo u could get 3 Blue bird ones & they are heaps faster
