Reworking the Super

[DARKHORSE]

Looks good, But I dont see it taking away my first at the midwest comp:roll:

 

[Kamikaze]

What's wrong, you getting nervous???? I will win, theres no way around it.:lol:

 

[666]

This is as smooth as I have gotten the brushless to act, if anyone has any suggestions they are more than welcome to chime in. http://media.putfile.com/brushless-9

Thats about the same as what I have, not good enough for you?:lol:

How do you have the esc's set up?

 

[Kamikaze]

Start up is at low and timming is normal, and using this throttle curve. Also 4000mah lipo and 6 tooth pinion.

Kamikaze...

Did you narrow your Thorns? I just got mine tonight. They are really beefy compared to the proline's I'm used to running. I don't think my method will work on these:?. I love the track width"thumbsup"

 

[Kamikaze]

Yeah I narrowed them almost an inch, if you want to run under knuckle packs with the jp knuckles then get a .5" per side widner and narrow the outside of the rim instead of the inside, then your width won't change but you will have the room for the batteries.

I got my BM16's from The Crawler Store.......lets just say I had to swap in my aluminum cases and steel gears that I was saving for my new truck.........the BM16 is crazy. I have no noticable cogging, they never go into reverse when under load, the drag brake is almost to strong, and the wheel speed is awsome, even with the 6 tooths. Its one bad hoss of a motor. I'll get some pics up when I get home from work.

 

[toy4crawlin]

:?: What batteries, motor, esc, are you running and is it working well ?

trying to buy new ESC , looking for input from the best out there

Thanks

 

[yukon635]

what what your opinions on the the BM16 compared to the crawlmasters you had?

 

[Kamikaze]

The BM16 is way better in my opinion. It had almost no coging what so ever, and way more wheelspeed and power. I got some pics, hold up.

Here they are. I also had to make a few changes to deal with the power, my aluminum tubes are comming.

 

[Kamikaze]

Here's the only video we took yesterday, it got dark before we could get some good action but I think you can see the torque, and theres about an 8 inch undercut in thet rock.....just so I don't look bad. http://media.putfile.com/100-1646-95

What grease are you using on those gears? I bought some Grease spray thats silcn. Based, but doesn't seem thick enough. I can barely see it. I went ahead and used White lith. instead.

 

[yukon635]

the bad thing about the white lithium grease is that it melts too easily inside the cases

 

[run2jeepn]

the bad thing about the white lithium grease is that it melts too easily inside the cases

So what's the Best Choice in grease for his set up?

 

[Kamikaze]

I am using vasaline, it seemes to work pretty good, the gears are really quiet.
Also I just realized that my startup power is set at low........

 

[clarkrw3]

Mobil 1 grease???

Good to hear you like the BC16

the CM is a 850kV 120g while the BM16 is 1005kV and 155g so that makes sense!!

 

[Kamikaze]

The low end is much improved, no noticable cogging, even pulled the tire off the rim. http://media.putfile.com/BM16

 

[Kamikaze]

Alright, here's just driving around with the esc's mixed and the sterring mixed with one hand and filming at the same time, realy just showing off the motors. http://media.putfile.com/BM16messinaround

And here is a 25lbs piece of concrete sitting on my truck while it drives up a 90. http://media.putfile.com/concrete-74

 

[brushlessnut]

vids didnt work for me

 

[Kamikaze]

Yeah, it takes the quicktime vids about 15 minutes after I upload before they will work.

 

[Sprint 80]

Does the front end feel a bit light without the batteries?
