Smallest comm size?
 
I've been searching, and I can't come up with any info on how small you can safely cut a Monster stock motor.

Anyone have any ifo out there? A link would be great.

Thanks,
JC

Getting a new arm is way cheaper than destroying a diamond bit.

Yeah at .270 they run great but your running with a ticking time bomb! :tire:
time for another at that stage

Yea, Ive seen one of those time bombs go off....number of times actully.Not perty, most of the time the ESC, and all goes up in smoke.

Thanks guys. So the one I have been running at .265 is a little small :(

Why would the ESC fry???

That0neguy 03-26-2006 05:45 PM

Cuase once the comm gets so small the outer edge of the bushes are to touch.It going to form a perfect circle around the comm and short out.Only take a second or two of WOT to fry it when shorted.
