Good news to report..... l got the Hobbywing programmng box in the mail today. l plugged it in to the ESC and went down through the list. There were 2 or 3 options that l didn't understand but its a great unit in terms of easy to use. Very intuitive. l got to the Punch setting and l bumped it...

Ya.... That's what l'm seeing too. l see a spur that has like 24 holes in it which seems to make it versatile. l might be running out of luck which might push me to ordering a 6.5 turn motor. l'll let you know what Amain says. Like this one...

Thanx AC..... So l'm running a 53t Spur right now with a 23t pinion. 32pitch. What would you suggest for a smaller Spur gear.?? l have a 19t. 21t. 22t and a 23t Pinion. l'd like to run the 19t or the 21t. Those 2 pinions are made by Robinson. l admit that this is a little over my head so l'm...

l put a 23t pinion gear in the truggy and once again l can see the increase in speed but its still not exciting to me. There's no room for a larger pinion gear. To get more speed from the Spur Gear would l increase or decrease the tooth size.?? l honestly don't think that l have the power to...

Time to update this thread on the Teno truggy 1/10th scale...Things are looking up. l went from a 19t pinion gear to a 21t. Helped the speed but l have another 2 pinion gears coming. A 22t and a 23t. The ESC and motor are running lukewarm at the most. l really think the 22t will get me to where...

Sounds good AC. Thanks for your replies. You give me something to look forward to. l began with a 19t pinion. l've got a 21t to try next. This past week l took the stock car body off the Rustler and went back to the 1966 Ford F-150. People love this truck.!!

Good post AC. l did the soldering re-do last night. Came out better but not perfect. At least l know now that the joints are joined well. l tugged on them. When l did the dis-connect there were 2 or 3 joints that just sort of fell apart on their own. Darn it man. So l'm happy l made the choice...

l soldered the motor and ESC wires a month ago and although everything works as it should.... its not pretty to look at. Can l melt the solder/disconnect the wires and clean up the contacts and give it another go.?? l did get better at soldering. l figured out l wasn't up to the temp that it...

OP here reportng back ..... l bought a decent soldering unit. Duratrax TK950. l might have burned up the ESC. Really disappointed and knowing it's all my fault. l'm finding that to be fast the temperature wants to be at 700 degrees. You can see in one of the pictures the connections to the ESC...

l got the 3652. Sorry l missed your question. Also you mentioned the balsa wing l built. Right now I have the original clear wing on it and I think l like it.

Great points and questiions AC. Thanks for that. Your point about having room for different sized pinions s excellent thinking. l think the answer is yes but frankly I don't have the expierence to know for sure. Nothing will be mounted permanently until all the parts are in hand. This is...

Thanks guys. l noticed the wide-open nature of that spur gear. l knew right away l was going to 'cover it' somehow. Does this layout look good to go.?? l want the switch right where it is but it does ever so softly have contact to the motor can on that top edge. ls that okay.?? How about the...

Thanks Wolf ..... l say speed prevails but what l need to keep in mind is...... Low temps rule.

Thanks AC. Thats the sort of information l was looking for. Not precise but in the realm. l'm going to put a Robinson pinion on the motor shaft. Being a beginner/low intermediate I have a question..... Will this system run cool.?? And I assume running a smaller piniion gear wll help keep the...

The Hobbywing motor and ESC arrived along with the ProTek servo. lt all looks great. lf it all functions as well as the parts look, l've scored a winner. The motor is a 4300kv and came wth a 21T pinion gear. The ESC is 140amps. As l've said, l mostly run in parking lots. Ovals and roadcourse...

OP here.... l ordered the Hobbywing XR8 SCT Brushless/4300v motor today along with a servo..... ProTek 160T. There's 2 big items to go into the Tekno. Still more to spend. Gotta spread it out.... l like it so far.!!

Nce reply AC. Yes. l'm going with the MX-6 Sanwa radio. l think Futaba is good stuff but it says right in the description of the 3PV that it is sophisticated. I'm a simple guy too. BTW don't hold back on me and my questions. Your recommendations will be taken properly. I'm here to learn. Cheers...

Great replies.!! Thans everyone. So l've been in the hobby for months. have 2 RC's..... A Rustler 4x4 VXL/TSM and an Arrma Typhon 3s. My work days are behind me so l have the time to run once and sometimes twice a day. l think I've missed 3 days since early March. This Tekno Truggy is a dream...

So l just finished the build of my kit, a Tekno ET410.2 Truggy. l'm on a budget for the electronics, or you could say l need to spread out the costs of completing the build. Here's the list..... Hobbywing ESC and motor combo $105. ProTek servo $110. Futaba receiver and radio 3PV $150. Shorty...
