Robinson Racing stuff is freakin great. I've got a ton of pinions made by them, and a Gen3 Slipper in my Maxx. Awesome stuff.

I just built a emaxx with rr gen3 slipper and it is louder than I expected. How tight should I go on the spur? Truck is "jumping" from a stop with little throttle. Any ideas? Thanks.

I set mine up to be as tight as I'd need in order to wheelie from a stop, but not enough to backflip. It's pretty tight.

If your truck is jumpy at low throttle, can you turn your motor over by hand, or does it sort of magnetically click as you turn it? My motor has a real stiff, chunky turn to it, so it's loud and "clicky" at low speeds.

The gen3 slipper is loud. The metal rings. Nothing you can do about it.

The motor is very hard to turn by hand and it does have a click to it. Is that normal for the emaxx mamba brushless? Thanks for the advice.

Normal. It'll soften over time, but that's just how some Brushless motors are. My two blue-can Kershaw motors (4 Pole) are really stubborn like that, whereas the Leopard in my Muggy is smooth as hell.

I was curious as to what causes it, Wikipedia calls it Cogging (No Current) Torque. Looks like lower pole motors will have a more pronounced case of it, as well as having a lot to do with construction. Though it's very clearly presented, more cogging torque = higher running motor torque. Not really too bad of a thing.

For the Scientifically Minded: http://www.gotwind.org/images/cogging.pdf

Stick with plastic. A lot more forgiving in crashes than aluminum unless you just want a show truck.

Not sure about bulkheads but stuff like arms and shock towers stick with plastic.

i understand why they are telling you plastic, but as you become a better driver get what you like. i havent broke anything on an RC car in a few years and almost every one of my cars gets the full metal treatment.
