Grind out the motor plate mounting holes so that you can utilise the smaller pinions. An old rc racing trick from the 80s & 90s - we had to grind out the motor plates to fit huge pinions & small spurs needed for 540 silver can racing.
So glad to see u changed the servo horn! 👋👋👋 Originally, 32 pitch was off-road/nitro. Moving from 32 pitch, to 48p, to 64p (& 78 pitch 20 years ago), the idea was more precise & MORE available gear ratio combinations.
Cool, thanks this vid helps with gearing from my question on your vid yesterday. I really like the ecto looks similar to a scx10 under the body. I'm putting some scx10 parts on the gen7 to help it out nice starting platform the Gen7 is . Won't be much left tho lol.
I love my revolvers the low speed and torque is great.if you look for more punch go up in kv I don't mind sounds I run 2500 sidewinder 4 in the element and does great and have a team spec 2050 waiting on a flat rail build.keep up good work .
So question why do you have a bec if you’re running a direct powered servo? I know that’s a newbie question but I am pretty new been in the hobby about 6 to 8 months still trying to figure everything out.
I honestly never had issues with the 48P gears in my Element. I quite liked it given how smooth the drivetrain was. I even had it under load and it never stripped. One issue I see with the skid is that if it raises the transmission to make it flatter the already severe pinion angle on the front will be worse. Did it raise the transmission?
@@shadow7796 then that is a good thing. Rear pinion angle is ok, but the front is quite aggressive so anything to improve that will save driveshaft cups. I’ve been thinking on a V2 builders kit for a C1 build and this seems like a good option considering the new skid and tiny tires
Who’s running a 1800kv motor? Curious what would be a good ratio to keep it close to stock speed? If anything I’d rather slow it a little for more torque.
Don’t get me wrong, I love the Ecto but that rig side hill like crap.. I tried the spring mod and it helped a ton, but now it’s to low for my crawling spots and it bellys out all the time. So I’m a little lost on what to do next. Maybe loose the sway bar and put a extra link in and see how that does 🤷🏻♂️ But climbing straight up really steep stuff it really does well with out problems. But side hilling just sucks
Just letting you know there were some editing errors on this one you just might want to check it over. There were some shots where you stopped and restarted and you forgot to cut out some bits.👍
He usually leaves those in for our entertainment. Shows he's human just like the rest of us. Always great content, though, AND the man does his driving with one hand whilst filming with the other! He's like the Nick Burns of surface RC!
