Anyone into R/C?

Very excite! Gonna have look into some titanium half shafts...

 

Ti will wear twice as fast as steel.

Get MIP drive shafts.

 

im into rc: here is my yota....i have over a grand in the stupid thing....*its retarded* so is rc.....too damn expensive to warrant keep playing with:

 

1k?? damn dude! nice RC tho hahaha

 

When I built it I bought a few different turn motors, different axles, driveshafts etc etc....i don't have any pics of it with all the updates but I have well over a grand in it. It is cool but silly expensive. I need to put up a rock crawling vid I made. I have a sick video of it somewhere....i look for it.

 

well the ESC and Motor combo was way under powered for that vehicle

 

^ What combo was he running?

 

Velineon 3500 (its a 2 pole and was probably running way to hot)

Axial recommends a 540 3300 4 pole or 550 can motor

 

^ Ah, okay. I have the VXL in my truck. That's interesting since the exo is almost a pound lighter than the Slash and the VXL powers that thing no problem.

 

Ridiculous how cool that truck is!!!!

 

I have a 1st gen pickup identical to it, which is what I was going for, the look of my actual truck. here is the real version i built it after:

 

remember your Slash is 2wd and the EXO is 4wd, the 4wd will put more stress on the drivetrain. That is why you need larger motors or 4 pole motors for 4wd vehicles

 

I was talking about the 4x4

EXO - 4.9lbs
Slash 4x4 - 5.8lbs
Slash 2wd - 5.6lbs

Not much of a difference between the Slash's and they're fine with the VXL.

 

hmm, maybe it was just the battery going nuclear that made it catch fire.

I just assumed since it was because of the VXL because the specs are bellow what Axial reccomends

 

^ Yeah, that's why I find it weird that they recommend a 4-pole minimum when 2-poles power heavier 4x4's with no problem, but then again, it is just a recommendation.

 

Nice!!!

 

Is there anything stronger than MIP?

 

What vehicle again?
