Thanks man.... What phone call?

@@UncleBobsRC exactly!

Yes, same one that went swimming but new electrics, RX, ESC's & motors... I did bump up the BEC voltage in the ESC's from 5.5 volts to 8.5 volts.. Tested again today out front and seems to be better... Its still the stock steering & a 20 + year old servo.. Again today, on 2S, speed was over 20 mph... The only thing added to this kit is bearings (must have, even if running kit motors), Steel pinions (again, a must have even if running stock) of the the stock size, so no gear ratio change, stock body, stock suspension & the Castle Creations Copperhead 10 "Basher Edition" with 4600kv motors... I wonder how it will be on 3S??????

@@UncleBobsRC I've said it before, and I'll say it again - You're the king of clods Bob!! 20mph is mad in one of these lumps,think mine is half that speed! 3s could be interesting?!!! Glad you have managed to get it sorted anyway mate.. Thinking perhaps an uncle bobs clod speed run challenge next year?...... 😁 👍 👍 👍

@@yodadarksideGreenHawksRC Well thanks man.... It hit me the other day that, I can go into the ESC's (on some) and change the BEC voltage, so I did (Castle Link needed for that). These esc's also have data logging, so I can see esc temps, motor rpm, battery ripple and so on... One of these I had in my Losi No Prep Drag Car, if you ever seen that run... The Castle Copperhead 10 ESC is the bottom of the high end units but on the top of the low end units, think middle of the road esc. Combos, with 5700kv motor and lower can run 3S, above 5700kv YOU MUST only use 2S... Some people don't read that and run 6900kv or 7700kv on 3S and then bitch when their stuff burned out... Then they say Castle stuff if junk.... I never had an issue (but I know how to read).... The hard part is, a Copperhead 10 combo isn't cheap at @ $175.00+ each (this is the lowest I seen) then you still have to get the Castle Link somehow (they come with a code for a free one but I don't know if that the States only).

Or the receiver dumped...

Well, I'm not using the stock horn, Hitec Servo's (at least the ones I used 20 years ago, like this one) come with thick & longer horn(s), that's what I use..

@@Poopdogsays Keep in mind, I'm using a single 2S lipo pack, powering two, Castle Copperhead ESC's feeding two, 4 pole, 4600kv Castle Creations brushless motors... Yeah, the RX is a china made unit that can be paired with my Futaba 4PV radio, I use a lot of these and never an issue but this could be a first.. I did bump the BEC voltage in the ESC's from 5.5 volts to 8.5 volts, lets see if that helps...

They are set up the same, with a Castle system, you can set an esc, save the file, then copy that file to another esc, which is what I did.... However, Also with Castle Link, and an esc that supports it, I just went in and changed the BEC voltage from 5.5 volts to 7.5 volts... Also see my reply I left on Peter's comment & others... These are 4 pole, 4600kv motors. I know this truck has at least 22 mph in it... LOL

Hey Mads... I think the issue is, one lipo pack powering 2 ESC's that feed a pair of 4 pole, 4600kv brushless motors might be dropping the voltage too low to power the digital servo. I will try a Cap Pack and see if that helps... Also, this servo is @ 20 years old and well used..

Yeah man, the servo is @ 20+ years old and its very used, used it in 2 other race Clods from back in the day, its taken a few hits but still seemed to work fine.. I think the issue might be, one 2S lipo pack powering 2 ESC's that feed a pair of 4 pole, 4600kv brushless motors might be dropping the voltage too low to power the digital servo.

Yes sir, a broken antenna will cause that but this is mostly all new stuff.... One lipo pack powering 2 ESC's that feed a pair of 4 pole, 4600kv brushless motors might be dropping the voltage too low to power the digital servo...

@@UncleBobsRC yea that could be from the look of it. All together can draw some amps.

@@Nordlicht05 That's what I'm thinking anyway.... I could be wrong... LOL

Thanks, I'll figure it out or crash it big time trying!!! LOL

That's the funny thing, That RX is out of my TT02-SR and never had an issue with it.... The servo is @ 20 years old and was used in a 2 of my old race Clods, so it's taken some hard knocks.. However, I think it's a power draw causing the issue, I will try a Cap Pack and see if that helps. ATB back at ya John, and the family.

2 ESC's brother.... that might be the issue.

One lipo pack powering 2 ESC's that feed a pair of 4 pole, 4600kv brushless motors might be dropping the voltage too low to power the digital servo.

Maybe but I doubt it.... It's more like the servo loses power.... See my reply to both Addams & Peter Smiths comments.. I seen this before with high powered brushed systems years ago (25-30) when not using high end esc with a low turn motor and a shitty battery pack, LOL... The reason some racers used a 5cell battery along with the esc, just to power the servo..

Surface Vehicles: With their high torque requirements - going from 0 to 100% throttle isn't easy on controllers or batteries - RC cars and trucks put enormous loads on brushless power systems. Use Castle Creations CC CapPacks in high performance applications (IE drag racing and high speed runs) to help your system power through the abuse.

Well, I'm not sure, just about everything is kind of new.... swapping a wire will make the motor(s) rotate the other way... But no, I have not tried moving the front esc motor wires to the rear esc and vice versa, as they are programmed and set up right... The servo I'm using is @ 20 years old, it might be on its way out... I am using one battery pack to power both ESC's but only one esc is sending power to the RX (I tried it both ways). These are only 4600kv motors and the esc's are Castle Creations Copperhead's. The ESC's have 3 caps (capacitors) built in each and I'm using a single cap in the RX (I might pull that out and give it a go). This is all new to me, learn as I go...

Well, I'm only using one servo, an old Hitec from about the 2000's.... Each esc has 3 built in capacitors plus I have a single one plugged into the RX... I tried it both ways, both esc's sending power to the RX and then to only one esc sending power the the RX... I might try a Castle Creations "Cap Pack" but I have no experience using one... It's a learning curve that's for sure...

Thanks man, It's not right yet, but I'll get there....

Learning as I go.... This is new to me.... Hell, I don't even know how to use or link my external HDD to my laptop, things use to be plug and play without jumping through this hole or gotta zip this or that, open this file to use this file, wtf!!! such a pain in the ass... My screen is getting full... ANYWAY, see the reply I left on Peter Smiths comment...

Thanks buddy and bring it on dude.... I'm not done yet, I need to get it some place where I can go full throttle longer and I'm working on fitting a different body.........

Thanks dude, But now I put bearings in it so lets see if I get more speed out of it...

@@UncleBobsRC that will be interesting for sure

LOL, take them off if need be.... I'll be adding the bearings (video of that in the works) soon.. I'm not sure if I want to add bearings to the BZ now or wait... If I do it now, I won't know IF they make a difference or not.. I can tell you, the 23 turn BZ motor is slower than my Trinity 27 turn stock motor (I linked that video). I plan on ending this series with the 380 back in the buggy..

No comment on the driving, that's Craig's job... Plus you say 7am is early, its 4am there for you right now... well, 4:19am cause it's 11:19pm here....

@@UncleBobsRC That's Craig's job.... 😂 😅 🤣 Yep, that's about right mate! Yeah 4am is around bedtime for me mate, I'm a creature of the night! I couldn't even imagine getting up before 10am,that would make me ill!! 😂 👍 👍 👍

@@yodadarksideGreenHawksRC I was up at 6am today.... 1-1-24

I was up at @ 5am, made java, charged up a pack, put the crap in the truck, drank 3 cups of mud... Yeah, it's kind of a cheat really but I'm sure I wont be the only one using a high voltage 2S lipo pack... It's more the motor that makes the power.. I will be getting out again soon and hope to find a bigger lot or a nice quiet country road (I live in the sticks, no city life). Wait to you see the body I'm putting on it (might not stay on but looks cool)...

@@UncleBobsRC Fair play mate, that's dedication for you! That's the middle of the night as far as I'm concerned! 😂 No, not cheating buddy..... Just knowing your stuff I would say. I will be looking forward to the next run, and seeing that delightful body of yours!! (the car that is! 😂) Good luck mate, Pete wylie is going to have his work cut out! 👍 👍 👍

@@yodadarksideGreenHawksRC That lipo pack is the one I use in my Super Avante but I haven't used it in a while so I figured why not use the battery, you know, keep them in rotation...

Thanks You my friend...

Thanks Pete but don't give up mate... Plus, I'm not done yet, I need more room to run it up.. Seeing how I leave in the sticks (that country side), there are some long back roads I can hit. Good luck my friend and do keep trying!!!

Yes it did Dirk.... but not every time... It still was fun my friend....

Thank You

Yeah man, that's how Jarheads roll..... kidding... That was the plan from day one, try the motors from stock to mild mod with bushings, then add bearings and go back down the till the kit motor is back in, to see if and how much more speed you get.

Thanks Jeremy.... Not done yet, now to add bearings and work my way back down to the kit motor.

Them tires sure do shred blades of grass... But to be fair, some of that was cut grass already... LOL What shocked me was, the Tamiya 23 turn motor was slower than the old Trinity 27 turn stock motor..

Thanks man!!!

Thanks Mads, That's just for starters.... I'm not done yet, I need more room to really get this up to speed.

Thanks Brother... And please do go check CW-01 Creations and any other channel you might see in the comments....

Thanks John.... We are getting by... ATB to You & Yours mate!!!

Thank You Sir... Might be at the top now but I'm sure others will be faster... That said, that lot I was at is really small and I could not go all out... I'll get out again and try, maybe find a country road less traveled and really open her up...

@@UncleBobsRC If all else fails, you might have to book a day at your local Drag Strip 😝😄😷😆

@@cw-01creations46 Good thing there are a few around but I'll just find a stretch of road... LOL

Thanks Craig... I did try... That lot was way too small for me to go all out......

Thanks buddy... That lot was a bit too small and I couldn't go all out with it...

Thanks Dirk... Yes it kinda does look like a mini dragster...

Thanks man.... I need to find a back country road less traveled and open her up.. This is the same system I used in the Poor Boys TT-02 speed challenge minus the 3S lipo pack.

Brother, I twisted my own arm to get my a$$ out to get a run done (I had the Brushless Clod with me also, but had steering issues).. That church lot is way too small for the system I used in the TT02 speed challenge. Might have to find a country road less traveled and try again.

..and yes, Mark and Rob would say "That's 48 McMiles per hour"!!! 🤣🤣👍👍

Thanks Dude!!!! As I said, there is more in this buggy but I didn't have the room to run it out. I might be in first for now, but I'm sure others out there are way faster..

@@MarkBryanRC LMAO!!!

@@UncleBobsRC It's a bloody good start dude and I'm sure you'll find a longer test strip! I just ran my brushed entry today and it was a pleasing start like yours was! Good luck on the next one mate!

@@MarkBryanRC That's great man!!! I did my run this morning, June 25th 2024 at 7am...

Thanks for the view & comment... All test are done with no load.. Keep in mind, this motor is over 30 years old & only a double wind (triple winds and more are more likely to have more/higher rpm). Over the years, magnets get weak, these motors use old tech magnets (4.0 wet magnets) unlike motors that use 5.0 wet magnets that are stronger from 20 to 25 years ago and newer. with all that said, no brush motor has the rpm of a good brushless motor, most Castle Creations brushless motors max out at 100,000 rpm but will never see that, like the one I have in my DT-02 now....

Thanks Dirk.... Lots more to this coming later....

Thanks Mark. In part 2 you'll see the ad for these motors and what they claim the rpm is/was (you never get what they claim anyway).. I'm getting closer but still so far off. Over the years, the magnets lose magnetism (gauss), springs on the brushes make the brushes sink into the comm ever so slightly and springs get weak... All that ads up to a slower motor (this one is over 30 years old). Even if you buy a new vintage motor still in its packaging, it will not have the performance it would have had when bought new within a few years of when it was on market. A magnet zapper would really help with this but I don't have one...

thanks Addam, In part 2 of this, the advertisement for the Triad Motors show an rpm of 50,000 (you never get what they show) for this 9 turn motor, I'm getting closer to that but old magnets are not helping. I wish I had a magnet zapper...

Thanks man!!!!

I had a slight problem, I know its hard to understand you Britts from time to time, but stumbling on a Britts written word has to be a new one... LMAO. With all honesty, I wasn't really ready to make that video.. I had forgot Craid sent those to me till I went looking for a snack and seen it in the fridge (I thought he sent chocolate) and it's been in there for weeks... Oops.....

@@UncleBobsRC 😂 😅 🤣 👍

@@yodadarksideGreenHawksRC I thought my comment was very funny..

@@UncleBobsRC Made me chuckle matey.... 😂 Always get a laugh with the uncle Bob! But words and spelling aside.... you lot over there and us lot over here ain't much different at all buddy, and I think a lot of us have a very similar sense of humour! 👍 👍 👍

Missed this one too... That's 3 I missed or forgot to reply on... I don't have apps on my phone or use the phone to watch vids... I watch either from my laptop or PS4, mostly PS4 and I cant comment or reply that way & then I forget.... Yeah, they do some good stuff (you all do), Everyone has awesome vids and great content...

I missed yours too Addam, that's 5 comments I missed....

@@UncleBobsRC no worries! Sometimes they show up for me late or not at all for a while. It is all good.

Sure are Dirk!!!! How are you doing my friend???

@@UncleBobsRC lot to do but everything's fine (or "has to" like we say here). Hoping you're doing well, too.

Man brother... I'm slipping on comments.... Sorry my friend.. Hope all is well... I second your comment, hands down, the best RUclips channels are the RC Channels!!!!
