@AClegg What are your thoughts on the B74.1D? Thinking about getting a 4WD dirt buggy lol.
News on a different front, thrust bearing should be in today. One was lost in the mail.. ordered another one.
I found what may have been the thrust bearing ball I lost. Son of a biscuit. Did I not install one when I put it together? Time to take it apart and see if I somehow missed it.. Two thrust bearing kits later (one lost in the mail, trying to get a refund) it might have been on my bench the entire time.
Hi there. I was going to start a thread about RB7ss builds, but CapnJames asked most of my questions and AClegg came back with a lot of great info. I hope you don't mind if I highjack it a bit.
Anyways, I was about to pull the trigger on what I think may have been the last discounted RB7 online, but wasted too much time seeing if I wanted to change my ESC / motor and it was sold by the time I went to checkout. That's okay since I was planning on going with a spec build anyways and there are still a few RB7ss on sale and the deal is almost too good to pass up.
One of the things I was wondering was how well does the RB7ss kit work with a 13.5T motor? I understand that they lightened up a bunch of components to optimize for a 17.5T, so does going to a lower-turn stock motor cause any problems? I saw that a slipper was recommended to help save the gears, so is that an upgrade to consider in general or just because a 13.5T motor was recommended?
Also, if I wanted to change over to a modified motor in the future, is it fairly straight-forward to modify the RB7ss to handle it, or would it require enough changes that just getting another chassis would make more sense?
Thanks!
Work has been sucking my will to live. Finally some time off to play. I was hooking up the battery for the the first time, and.. reverse polarity. Mother... fiddlesticker... ESC is toast. I have 2 weeks off and was going to give her a good break-in.
