Vivaton 29mm (EXB) spur is here. 44T versus the 50T that was on it. 47mm OD vs 53mm OD
One immediately noticeable problem is the pinion I have on it (I think its a 14T) isn't large enough to mesh because of the motor mount geometry. I ordered a set of bigger options.
But it picks up the clearance that I needed, by a mile
Those bearing races arrived (and the aluminum center support). With the top plate I have now ghetto rigged on there I have no way to bolt the supports to it, but that proved to not be a problem. They stayed in place all on their own due to how the parts are machined.

It's the same here. Click insert, then click full size.Yeah, that's how I did the last post, the one that starts with the Vivaton spur. Can you see that post ok? Once the file(s) are attached, they are shown in preview along the bottom, with an "Insert" option. On other forums (like the sister ECX forum), when you click that you get either Insert Thumbnail or Insert Full Size. There is no Insert Thumbnail option here.
You really should look in to replacing that busted capacitor on the Max8 if you can. Your LiPos will thank you for it and you'll get a tad better performance.
Yeah man, pics work just fine@Greywolf74 I went back from the start and deleted the old images and attached them through this forum. Could you do me a favor and sample a few and see if they work right for you? They seem to work correct from all my devices.
I haven't posted in a bit, partly because our focus has been mostly on my son's 2WD Ruckus. It used to be just a quick but super tough basher for our yard but he's got more interested in going fast at the park we go to after school for just dad/son time away from everything else. We slapped the GPS from this one on it one day just curious and were surprised to see it mid 30s. We've slowly been tuning and getting faster, and last week it went an insane 47mph

As far as we've been able to find on the internet, it's now the quickest 2WD off road RC pass ever. Any scale, any surface (the 4WD competitors denote grass/turf/sand/dirt/gravel). We'd like to hit 50 on grass before the end of the nice season here. It has more than enough power to do it, the battle with 2WD is always getting that power to the ground. If anyone else knows of anyone faster with GPS/video, please let me know we'd like to collaborate and go faster.
The 4WD has been getting a major project, and I think this picture most accurately sums it up. At this point all the final decisions have been made as far as parts selection, we are waiting on them to get here to install, take measurements, and finalize the chassis.

Late comer and catchin up on your thread, Niner. Looking good. Adapt and overcome is the name of the game. Like you are making the passes on grass. It's a challenging surface that rewards a good pass. Hang in there.
Two things, if I may:
On weighing out the car on kitchen scales. I see a "TARE" indicated. Is that a button or feature? If so, using the TARE feature should zero out the scale with the wood on it giving you a true read-out for car weights.
Regarding your son's 2WD Ruckus. Yeah, that's haulin'. Are those P-L aluminum adapters on the Raid wheels? How are they working out on that app? I've so wanted a set of those to set off the Raid wheels on my trucks. Really make that wheel pop.
Keep the shiny sides up. Cheers. 'AC'
Not much Ecx left on that truck Chris.
Thanks, Niner. Those stainless button heads look infinitely better than the P-L carbon steel allen heads. O.K. on the serrated aluminum wheel nuts. Bookmarked them in the Speed Runner file.
Your grass runners have me re-thinking options with my MT10. It has a set of belted Trenchers that look like the bees knees for grass running at speed. Considering giving that a go instead of running it on-road.
Best to you and your son in your grass running adventures. Cheers. 'AC'
