Inspired by @Saltrock - No pics but I finally got around to setting up a rip-rap ( concrete chunk) course in the backyard and spent a very nice sunny day putting my scx24 through it's paces. Hadn't run it in a while and had forgotten just how fun these little things can be... and capable too.

Plugged the battery into the motor connection on the V1 ESC . POOF .

 

[Saltrock]

Oh man that sucks NWCT. I guess it’s time for some sweet new electronics, lol.

new rig i'm working on

transmission/motor and such should be showing up this week, only parts i still need is a rear driveshaft, and figure out what servo i want to use in it

Well I’m going to stay away from the “sweet new electronics” . I have 9 SCX24’s , Im going to upgrade from the V1 to the V2 ESC , they work just fine for what I do with them .

Actually my best slow crawler is a stretched out deadbolt with a 180 and the Spektrum 2in1 ESC from a AX24 . I found 130 and 180 motors work great with those once noisy V1 and Spektrum electronics.

That’s cool, I’ll keep it in mind.

I like to see what performance I can get out a brushed motor . Here’s a current speed mod I’m working on .

That’s wild NW, what motors are you using? It seems like that would be a lot of stress for a smaller motor.

That’s a FMS 130 , 18 tooth mod 5 pinion , 32 tooth spur .

Tonight’s project . Injora 55 turn 180 , 11 tooth mod 4 pinion , 40 tooth spur gear . Building it for a future SCX18 build.

i've tried that same trans setup for using larger motors but it seems to have no low end no matter what i do, most of my trucks are running a V2 with an HR motor

that and most of my trucks bodies are too low to fit a taller transmission case

I have a RCAWD 180 51T in one rig , I think it has the stock gearing . It does a very good slow crawl and is quiet but the machining of the spur gear and trans gears looks dull and easy to wear out.

i've seen the same on other aftermarket spur gears, keeps me from trying them ya know?

I swapped them out with gears from Mofo RC .

I put the last coat of neon pink on my Datsun six twenty cab. Hopefully I can start on mounting it to my chassis tonight.

Well the wife wants me to dig up part of a garden today . I think it’s a great place for a rock garden .
