Any way to change the lens from a fisheye? If you can get a regular wide angle, curbs won't sneak up on you like that ;)

What sort of diff does the Teton have? Read that it's metal ring and pinion - is it ball diff or plastic spider gears? Looks like you decided to save and went brushed.

That's too bad. I've the quark 33 and 66, and they were quite decent, though with cheap chinese electronics getting better, it's a tougher market for ESCs (and it should be). I just realized my hpi...

When I got into minis years ago, the forum was pretty busy - back then it was mostly mini t vs lst vs rc18 vs miniquate/vendetta, and propulse/megatech was a cheap fairly capable alternative. I think...

RE: gearing issues 4600 on a rusty/pede!! help

Quick Q for you guys. When your motor is heating up like this, what's your ESC doing? Is that also really putting out heat, or is it just the motor getting that hot?

RE: nitro to electric

I agree with that sentiment. Electric brushless motors pack more torque than your nitro and will pour on all power from a standing start. If anything the diffs need to be even tougher than regular...

RE: lower KV does what?

That's just too simplistic an answer.
You've got pinions. Change em! Wattage and gearing is a key that's often overlooked in such statements.

RE: lower KV does what?

One advantage of lower kv motors, is they're higher resistance, so you'll be able to volt up on them on a particular esc. 3s on the sidewinder.

As long as your batteries can supply amps, you'll...

RE: lower KV does what?

And just what do you think would happen if you gear down a bit to make up that torque? Consider the wattage of those motors? If the 5700 puts our more watts than the 4600 and you gear it down in the...

RE: Which ESC

Higher kv systems have less turns. less turns/wire = lower resistance.
Amps = applied voltage / resistance. So the same 3 cells will have to deliver more amps to that motor. That esc will then have...

Video of the motor looks like it's glitching - you've haven't said squat though, so how accurate do you expect advice to be?

Yeah I've read about the body drag as well in some magazine. Especially if hitting a jump and the wind catches it. Think it was on the sc10 in rc car action. The slash would be no different - but...

RE: Brushless motor choice

Yup. Theory helps, but simple "load" is a pain to work out and how it varies at speed and voltage.

I do believe there are loggers you can you to look at current draw, but most of the time it's...

Couple other motor knickknacks.

Why do more winds = less speed?
If you spin a motor, it's going to act as a dynamo. As a wire cuts the lines of magnetic force, you'll induce a current. Each...
