Anyone into R/C?

Again, I have no dealings with them/him what so ever, but I doubt very seriously they are hand winding there arms in house, totally possible, but unlikely. If so, these arms are VERY pricey. Sounds to me like he/they are putting on the sales pitch, again, this is ONLY my opinion. OK help me remember, a crawler motor runs very thin wire/windings, in a single strand I presume, in a very high wind count, correct? This would produce the most torque, with little to no top end or RPM, because the restriction of the thin windings flow of electrons.

 

Nice! Makes me want to get my RC10T3 running again.

If the brushes are broken in from the factory, no need, otherwise, it will make your motor last longer. This due to less arcing, and deterioration of the soft copper comutator surface.

 

Thanks for the info.

How much for your comutator lathe, by the way?

This thing flexes awesome, it crawls over damn near anything around my house, from stairs to wood piles, gonna take it to the park tomorrow and try it on a bikg rock pile that my honcho was too small for.

 

Currently running my 17.5t

 

Holy Fawk. What is that again

 

1/8 Exceed mad beast, nitrorcx sells it for $194 rtr or artr for $174.

I think this thing with 4 wheel steer and in a 1/5 scale size it will be unstoppable, I now wish they would get the parts I need back in stock so I can make it happen!

 

Let me dig it out and see how many tools/bits I have (new ones) it is a Cobra Extreme, IIRC.




A 13.5 shouldn't be too much, remember, sometimes slower is faster. I'm running a Novak Balistic 6.5 (way more than I need) but I do have the GTB set up with a soft profile and the timing turned down quite a bit on the motor. Also our track has a lot of damp loam, not hardpack clay. We love rooster tails....

 

It looks broken... lol

 

Wait, isn't it the Exceed MaxStone? The Mad Beast is nitro-powered and the one you have is clearly is electric.

I'm getting kind of tired...so I could totally be off base here.

Can you take some video of it in action?

Fink

 

Yeah your right, its the max stone, idk why i said mad beast


Ill try to get a video tomorrow

 

I just checked out the ones they have on NitroRCX (I hate the dude that does the reviews - he sounds like a total dumbass). Those things look pretty slick.

I still wonder they hold up to actual crawling, though.

Look forward to a vid if you can get one. As cheap as they are, it is quite tempting.

Just stumbled upon an entire section on RCC full of pics of these things.

They look to be pretty damn durable.

If I ever decide to get into the comp world, I may have to use one of these as my starting point.

Good find!

Fink

 

Yeah from what iv seen there a great starting point for a good price.

I dont regret getting one and I havnt really ran it yet

 

It was just added to my list of future rigs. Damnit - just what I needed.

Fink

 

Haha, its a never ending list..


Im looking at bodies for it now.

 

Yeah I know what you mean that's why I'm going with the 13.5 its just a little more power so I can clear these jumps better. I tend to do better with the slower motors haha I'll just work my way up to thos 6.5t's some day. For now I willkeep practicing with the slower motors

 

Look what I got today!! Hmmm. Choices choices choices.
