check ojut my tires !! lol

[beason]

get the mt tires with the 17mm hexes from Mr Tmaxx for my buggy. MAN there HUGE!!! lol heres some pics..

i know its prolly not logical but its just for fun.. i dont race so its a MONSTER bashing buggy!! lol
its a Ofna Hyper 7 PCR buggy with a Hotbodies .26 "hand ported" (thanks again vb..)

this is a comparison pic.. thats a savage ss beside it..

i know i gotta regear and prolly a stronger servo saver.. but the 645 should turn them.. havent drivin it yet.. just stuck them on there to see..
ill let you know how it goes.. should be fun.. maby get a new body with no holes and make it a mud buggy.. should get plenty of traction now though lol

HAHAHA! Do you have a 12 tooth cb? I think you might need it!

 

[beason]

ha i just noticed there directional.. and i got it right.. lol that was luck.. yea I'm thinking about finding anouther center diff cheep and putting a different gear on it so i can quick change.. diff and tires and go.. wonder if those craddocks will stop those things.. lol can't wait to drive it..

 

[olds97_lss]

You have to regear quite a bit. I tried that with my HB buggy using the stock spur and 1 tooth smaller than stock cb... it won't even come close to pulling it around without a clutch meltdown. The sucky part is that I can only find a spur that is a few teeth larger.

To gear it like the HB SUT (or whatever their truggy is called), I have to replace the cb, spur, front and rear diff gears... It will cost around $100 to use MT tires on it. Which really blows.

 

[beason]

that sucks. was hoping it would have to power to pull them with just a little regear.. there not that heavy.. ill let you guys know tommorow..

 

[wannarunem]

what the hell is that?????? lol Bring that sucker over and we can run them after you get off work!!!

 

[olds97_lss]

I was trying to run imex stock maxx sized swamp dawgs which are pretty light. I think they are 9oz a piece with tire/foam/rim. I weighed them once and they were the lightest out of t-maxx stock, savage stock, imex j-hawgs and imex swamp dawgs. Oddly enough, the t-maxx tires were the heaviest...

 

[Plaidfish]

Yeah Beason you will melt clutches unless you regear....
Olds have you looked at other makes of Spur gears?
don't know if you saw my fix for my truggy gearing issues but I can PM you details on my fix....cost about 60 bucks and all you do is change the center spur gear out when you want to go truggy mode....

 

[vbgagnon]

look into the dominator spur. Its like a 60 tooth or something like that.

 

[Plaidfish]

I beleive it needs an adapter plate though....I think the Dom. has a center spur w/ no diff it's like a road car setup.....

 

[beason]

hey plaid thats exacly what i want to do.. just switch the spur or diff and go.. hit me up with some details.. thanks man..

check out Corrado's threads he's done a torsen version of this that looks way cleaner than mine.....my pics are lower down the screen...you need a grinder and a drill press to make th emounting holes counter sink on th eOFNA gear

also the diff mounts need to be raised up...I used 3 diff risers but I'll be making a solid one soon....I'd really like to make a new center diff bracket that raises it w/o spacers.....

Yeah... I have a dremel and a hand drill...

I've seen yours and we've talked in the past. What you have is beyond what I can do. If it doesn't bolt on, I kind of can't do it. That's why I would be forced to regear the diffs and spur to get the ratio down far enough (or up...) for MT tires.

 

[beason]

well i drove it a bit.. bout half a tank.. drove ok but didnt have the take off it had.. hopped off the driveway and pulled a wheelie.. could be ok with a bit lower gears but its hard on the drive line stripped the cb.. it was already going but the big ol tires finished it off.. but thats another thread..

i think it will be fun once i get a bigger spur.. it ran good but the cb going let the flywheel get loose so i dont know how much that was slipping.. ill try it again after i get a new cb..

 

[Plaidfish]

Olds you can get a cheap grinder from harborfreight for around 10 bucks and use your hand drill for counter sinking the holes, you don't need to do the counter sinking but it does make it look purdy....if your in a bind I can make a center spur plate for you and you get the OFNA ring gear......PM me if you want to go there....Beason same for you....just get me the spur gears you want me to hack up...I can use my Kyosho one as a template and drill from that.......
