R/C Tech Forums - SC10 Thread

Thanks I did that and I think that'll be the trick. I'd like to throw them back in I'm sure they are better for acceleration than conventional dogbones.

I had 1 in a brushless motor once. I was racing a dusty track and kept locking bearings up. put the ceramic yellow sheild in and lasted 3 times longer.
they are nice if u want to spend the $

Have you guys found any fix for that? I put the old dogbone setup off my other SC10 on for now. What a giant p.i.t.a. it was.

Running a 3800 kv Castle motor with 20/87 and have it dialed back some for 2wd mod, very fun. :nod:

I have had the same problem two different times. (once Yesterday) I used the narrow electrical tape. I wrapped a few times the trimed some of it back.

well I rebuilt the cva's and spun the band around and used tire glue to keep them from moving. I was too tired n lazy to throw them back in but they will back on the truck for practice this week. I'm sure they are better and more efficient than conventional dogbones.

Thin CA Glue, will not move if everything is clean and you get 2 light coats on.

Can anyone give me a quick low down on front camber links and what effects you found by the different setups.

To be specific here is my questions.

Longer camber link= ?

Shorter camber link=?

Inside Camber link holes inner and outer=?

Washers on the inside camber links studs=?

Outside c-hub holes o-o-o adjustment=?

I have been racing indoor offroad on carpet in the spec 17.5 class. They make use the Novak havoc spec esc/motor combo. It seems like it cuts everyonce in a while like it is thermaling... I checked the motor temp and 120-125 the esc was 95. I have a fan for the esc I was going to use but couldn't find anything for the motor that looked like it would fit. Anyone use or know of something to help the motor cool down?

Your system should not be thermaling with those temps. 120-125 is not hot at all, so I would assume that something else is going on.

try a glitchbuster or other compasitor. also, what servo u using? it could be trying to draw more power from the esc that it is willing to give. which will cause shutdowns.

Those temps are not bad at all, no need to try and cool the motor. You might have one of the Havoc's that had issues with cutting out.?.

ThunderbirdJunkie used a dab of CA on the bands for his CVAs on his B4.1, FWIW.
