I have the Bandit and changed the motor over to brushless. I noticed the gearing still prevents the Bandit from reaching a high speed top end. I think I will change both the Spur gear and Pinion gear. The new ESC is fan cooled, so I don't need to worry about over heating issues like the brushed motor would experience. Good video by the way.
I just upgrade my sons bigfoot to 32 pitch and and I know what you seem as far as it seeming "smoother". His is running the blx100 motor/esc 17/54 and its impossibly fast on 3s. GPS at 44 on 2s and wheelies a anything over 52 kn 3s
I got me a 3674 hobbystar motor I was planning on installing into my slash just to get rid of the heat issue with the VXL system, I just never got around to it
Was watching another youtuber and when he did the 32 pitch upgrade, he put the cover right back on...I think his Slash 2wd was a newer model. Don't know if that makes a difference.
I'm in the process of doing the monster conversion. I didnt know about the 48 to 32 conversion until now. Very nice video Have you tried any other pinions?
Great job with your upgrade. I have no idea but does a 32p gear hold up better than a 48p? The reason I ask is because I'm having issues with 2 of my cars destroying spur gears.
@@stuwest3653 I have been setting mesh with 1 sheet of note book paper for 48p. Maybe there is a better way. My BigFoot and DR-10 are both running 48p plastic and being pushed by Spectrum BLX100 (same as it the Typhon and Granite) . Continuously stripping spurs on both cars. I'm running the exact same motor and ESC in my 1/10 scale Sunfire on 32p metal gears and they don't strip out. The car is lighter and runs smaller tires. I think it could be that with large paddles on the DR-10 and the quick take offs in sand is too much for the spur. The BigFoot actually had a problem that I just noticed. I put different shock on it and there was too much travel causing the sliders to drag on the suspension arms.
Mainly at the park. I avoid water if possible. I do enjoy cleaning all my trucks... simple green, brush, water hose rinse, air compressor, wd40, air compressor again!
Yes, you can even still use the cover with some spacers. But I dont see the need for it. The main improvement is the 3665 Motor and they come with 5mm shafts so no 48P pinions for them^^
