cool! by the way you left on tuesday before I could hook you up for the deans plugs. take some for the deans other pack next tuesday and I will pay you for both. thanks I am having a blast over there, even thinking of getting into electric Onroad,
Anyone try to gear in a brushless with a 3.2mm shaft? It's a Permax esq motor from Hong Kong. I was only able to locate a 17 tooth pinion that would fit the shaft. Will this work for the Recoil as is?
i am running the permax and i am using standard 48 pitch gears, it is a little noisier, but still runs fine. on the large track i run 21/56, on the medium i run 19-58. i have a fan on the motor/controller. 21/56 runs a little warm/hot but has never thermalled yet. awesome power with the 2s lipo i am running.
later
thanks for the info on the diffs and the swaybars. they should help alot

glad to hear you are having fun! That is what is all comes down to!!
Can someone tell me what do the small clips on the rear arms do to the handling? There are 3 on each side to move the rear arms forwards or back. I know it to lengthen the wheel base but what does it do for the handling?
When the wheelbase option is at the rear, shorter wheelbase (rear wheels forward) will increase rear traction. Longer wheelbase will give more steering.
When the option is at the front, shorter wheelbase (moving front wheels back) will increase steering.
When the wheelbase option is at the rear, shorter wheelbase (rear wheels forward) will increase rear traction. Longer wheelbase will give more steering.

Isn't it shorter wheelbase=more steering, and longer wheelbase=more stability/traction??
Yes, thats how I understand it. I extend the rear by 1.0mm (one small clip). Small tip, if you replace the steering bushes with ballraces, the brass bushes make excellent replacements for the clips. One either end. Obviously you lose the adjustment, but running indoors, centralising the rear wishbone seems the best compramise anyway.

NO. Because, when the wheelbase is shortened by moving the rear wheels forward, the bigger player is the change in weight distribution. If one were to make the wheelbase shorter and maintain the same weight distribution, then yes the steering would be increased.
With all on and off-road cars that have the wheelbase adjustment in the rear (abillity to move the rear wheels a bit fore and aft), moving the wheels forward reduces steering and increases rear traction in general.
When the option is in the front-end, shortenening the wheelbase ALSO moves the weight bias forward. This has a more significant effect and increases steering a great deal.
My son and i have been running our coil and it's so fun.
We some times have 2 classes.
My son and I TQ this past Saturday for the fist time and it was great.
I am looking for another so i can run mod.
o!!
