    I’m running powerhobby turbo fans. The body cracked the rear fan on a bad crash, but with just the front fan and the heat sink it kept it to 140f with the esc getting to 165f.

    If you’re worried about hot air at the roof just drill a few holes in the roof. It’ll cause a Venturi effect when the air passing over the body flows over the holes and bring in air from the tire area.
    .
    Honestly, with how open the back and fender areas are I sincerely doubt there is any heat buildup under that shell.
    .
    It would be nice if traxxas made a couple fans in a cutout in the center of the chassis to draw air from the driveshaft area and a little duct to flow it over the motor.
    **edit. Guess I was wrong and there was quite a bit of heat buildup in there.

    Nice! But I’m pretty sure that if you powered the fans from your third channel of the receiver, there is a switch on your transmitter connected to that 3rd channel, so you probably could switch on and off the fans from that one, no need for the switch under the body, right...?

    another nice and clear video...awesome! My E-Revo seems to have something strange lately.
    when the car and receiver are both on and I do nothing...the frontwheels keep steering to the left side automaticly?!
    I have reset everything few times allready but somehow this issue keeps coming back :( any ideas what to do?

    • @upgradedrc3697
      @upgradedrc3697  3 года назад

      Is your TSM or AVC on to high. this is common with TSM turn it off and see if it still does it. If that doesn't help, then I would rebind and recalibrate the receiver and esc with the transmitter. If that doesn't fix it, then check your endpoints on the steering, it's probably off a little bit. If all that doesn't fix it then you have a hardware problem that probably needs to replaced. Try the TSM off first. And let me know.

    Does dust/small rocks ever get into critical components? Tore up a baseball field and noticed some fine dust through the little center driveshaft door on the bottom... is this an issue or should the only things able to get in so fine that it doesn’t matter? Or do you fully disassemble your whole drivetrain every time 🤔

    • @upgradedrc3697
      @upgradedrc3697  4 года назад

      I would take off the skid plate every couple of runs and get the rocks out. They will damage the stock plastic driveshaft.

    ... Did the air ducts last? I am thinking that they will break when you crash. Also, you might want to check out some of the thermal paste they put on CPU heatsinks. Just a very thin layer. It allows better heat transfer from the surface you are trying to cool to the heat sink.

    Man don't know what I'm doing wrong. My stock motor with vents cut out in back could get over 200 from just bashing no back to back speed runs in 90s ambient. With a larger heatsink and dual fans 170s but it throws heat onto esc and hit thermal cut out lol. Thinking of cutting out windshield nitro style and throwing a better fan on esc.
