POP QUIZ, HOT SHOTS!
Since AE has decided it best NOT to offer us dimensions for the O-rings, has anybody found suitable substitutes for the diff outdrives? One looks like a 5mm OD/1.5mm thick, the other looks like 3.5mm ID 1.5mm thick? That sound right to y'all? I believe its Identical to the 2wd diff o-rings... http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...ial-O-Ring-Set |

I need some help. I had alot of drag so I was trying to isolate it. Found it is at the wheel hubs. The hub actually rubs on the carriers front and back. When I loosen the wheel nuts up it frees up. when you turn one wheel at either end the the other does not rotate liek it should but will with nuts loosened up. It is built exactly per manual. Its like the slot for the pin is too deep allowing the hub to seat too deeply causing the rubbing. Any ideas? Need a fix. Its causing alot of motor heat due to drag.

IMO, 550's will be the two pole, Sensored, Hot, Heavy and Hungry. (Nov, Tek and yes even Vip) These are very popular with "Pro drivers" that only run 5 minute heats or 5 minute practice sessions with fans mounted all over the place and a 1/8 scale esc to feed the beast. 540's will be a 4-pole, Non-sensored (Castle) that keeps up with the 550's with less heat, less juice and less weight. Tekin Redline SC4X are a 55o Sensor or Sensorless motor, temps on it are actually going to run cooler then a typical 540 motor due to more surface area to keep it cool. They do take a bit more power because of the torque they create. Oh and the next Tekin 550 motor is going to be 4 pole. I run mine with an LRP Sphere Comp TC spec. A 1/10 scale esc. The Castle 4 pole (1410) is kind of unique to Castle, so it really doesn't compare to most 540 motors. There are a lot of sensored 540 motors out there. |

I run a Fantom ION3 7.5 w/ no fans on anything, Tekin RS Pro, Venom 50C 5000mAh and zero issues here as well. :) |
little help i am running a tekin rx8 and the sc4x tekin 5.5 motor with a 12/62 gear ratio with esc temps at 107 motorat 157 with the timming set on the hot wire at ten i see some set ups running it at 60 what would that do for me if i change mine from 10 to 60 and those temps are after a 15-20 minute run on track full out also battery is a 35c 5000 protek lipo

original lrp sphere tc with old novak ss 5.5 540 can running well in the 4x4 and it weighs alot less than the 1/8 esc/550 combo

Has anyone noticed the out drives getting sloppy in the diff gear housing. My cups are starting to develop a lot of movement. The o-rings seem to be sealing the fluid still but this stuff is so thick it take weeks to leak out anyway.
Any thoughts on this? Maybe AE did not grease the shafts when assembling the diffs? |

NEED INPUT
I am pretty new to 10th scale, have the new truck, and so far I am getting frustrated with the power system I bought, here's what I am using, RX8 ESC, Novak 550 5.5t Ballistic, running 2 cell, quality packs, using stock rotor, and stock spur 62, have put a 17t as my pinion, and the truck is a dog, followed all specs on build, took my time, just need to know if some of you other guys are using this combo, or motor anyway, what are you gearing, need power for racing.....
About to buy the Tekin 4.5, |

Thanks for the suggestion, but that would be moving in the wrong direction, LRP, not sure what there KV is on the 5.5, but I'm sure it's different than Novak, 17 is slow, gearing down would just make me strap C4 to it a blow it up....:cry: |
I run 14 62 with a novak 5.5 550. It's not the fastest thing out but definelty isn't struggling to clear any jumps.
