I have a stock brushless setup for my truck and am looking to upgrade the motor to something with a little more power. Without checking the spec sheet, it seems to me the current motor is 3300kv unit. How far can you safely raise the power before needing to upgrade to metal bits for the drivetrain?
Sorry if posted in the wrong section, if so, mods can you please move?
first you'll need a sensorless motor. most racing brushless motors are sensored, but the rtr stuff is not.
the drivetrain can handle a pretty powerfull set up, but i wouldn't go to crazy.
something in the 4000-5000kv range will be where you want to look. anything higher then that is kinda too fast for a 2wd truck.
i know hobbywing has a pretty extensive selection of sensorless motors.
you will also have to adjust your gearing for the hotter motor.

Hey guys, I have not torn apart the diff or trans in my (new to me) T4 to see what's inside. What is the consensus on the drivetrain being able to handle a moderate brushless setup? (something like the Castle Sidewinder SCT 3800kv)?
Are the trans...

I'm running a Novak Havoc 3s with an Novak 8.5 turn motor in one and a Novak Pulse with a 7.5 turn motor in my other. The only problem I had was melting my spur gears when I ran a 3s lipo.
Hi folks, sorry if this is a noob question.
I have a B4 which I am now looking to upgrade to brushless. I used to race for about 15yrs but got out just when brushless was coming out, so I have very little knowledge of brushless setup.
Now I think I...

Cheers for that, I have checked and it should be ok, but wil keep an eye on the temps :)
I'm sure this has been discussed somewhere - probably more than once, but my quick searching didn't turn up anything definitive. I've got an old 6-gear transmission from an original RC10 Championship Edition. I am wanting to beef it up to handle...

I was running a completely original 6 gear on dirt oval (and later on a paved oval) using a 13.5 brushless and Lipos, and had no problems to speak of. Conducting general maintenance, I noticed a couple of the idler gear screws would loosen over...
I put a $37 Surpass Hobby 9T 4370 brushless combo in it and it got the much needed kick in the pants it needed! The power is just about perfect now! While the top end was pretty good, it had really poor acceleration after going from the stock...

She hit 40+ mph today.... and I am done! As long as that diff holds, it is an outstanding setup for this car! :twisted:
13.5 turn or 17.5 turn brushless for JRX2 upgrade?
What would you go with? Also I was thinking sensorless for my first brushless.
But a fair priced well performing ESC with reverse lockout that can do both sensor or less is what I'd be looking to...

My son's flysky came with the cable, you shouldnt have to purchase it separately. I need to hit their site again, I havent seen the GTB3C yet, no need to look :)
Word on the street is maybe as soon as next week for the new 120A speedo.
I have been working on another project in my spare time, but have a question. I am building up a buggy with Klein rear arms to get some more extension. In my research, I was told to use some B44 rear CVD's. I think that i am using a RC10T...

What size bearings on the custom wotks hub? I have a few sets coming to use with the b44 cvd.
Just to confirm its 3/16 x 3/8 × 4 bearing size
thanks
Yes, this is the correct size of bearings for CVDs with 3/16 axles.
Can the RC10T4.1 run in low to medium grass? My Goldpan can't on my Castle Creations sct system, so ie as wondering if the T4.1 could due to its long arms and shocks and bigger tires. Will it just fish tail around the yard or will it actually be...

I've had a couple of threads around here filled with my cars issues but they seem to be some hard ones to fix. I'll try repairing the diff and giving urban new washer and Ill play with the shocks and weight distribution and see how that goes.
Was given a used t4 today.I am a buggy guy...but it's in such good shape..it's hard to not go over it and make it a runner.
It has no body and I am having a hard time finding info on what (if any) available bodies
fit it.
Can someone point me in...

Hey...sorry I was having log in issues.
Standard stadium truck body.
Nothing crazy modern...just something that fits the chassis mounts well.
It may all be a moot point though because I lost the right rear body/wing mount and I am not paying $25+...
