    Hey man. Great build!
    I've done much of the same to mine. I ended up using nylon spacers from the hardware store for the top front ProLine shock mounts to secure them in place. What did you use to get your front shocks mounted snugly up top?

    • @TheRCNetwork

    Hey Rich, just wondering how you find the sensored Hobbywing combo for slow going and for power (is it comparable to the existing Fuze system for power)?
    Is there any cogging at very low speed and can it actually now crawl (the fuze system cogs like mad)? I'm turning mine in a rock bouncer (all locked diffs) and would like decent crawling performance.
    I know Castle make a very popular combination (with the crawler crowd) with the MMX and their sensored motors but I have Hobbywing products far more available and affordable locally and already have the programmers and a number of HW ESC's (I'm a very happy HW owner) and was looking at your exact ESC/motor setup and wondering how it would work. Any feedback would be really appreciated!

    • @TheRCNetwork
      @TheRCNetwork  7 лет назад

      The main difference between sensored (Hobbywing) and sesnorless (FUZE) - sensored has a great low rpm feel with no cogging at all. That's what the extra sensor wire does. It also, in the long term is more efficient. YOu can't beet the quality and affordability of HW - Also grab the Wifi Express to tune your ESC with your phone!

    • @bearbatteredbear5982
      @bearbatteredbear5982 7 лет назад

      So even with crawling speeds (not just walking speed but loaded going really slow up/over rocks) there is no coggng? I know sensored makes a large difference but there is sensored that is crawls great and seored that is smooth but can't maintain a smooth crawl speed under load (which is the important bit - the loaded smoothness).

    • @TheRCNetwork
      @TheRCNetwork  7 лет назад +2

      Zero cogging on sensored/brushless. That's why racers and pros use sensored

    Hi Rich. New to this U4RC racing. Have been working on my Rock Rey to get it ready. I am experienced in 1/10th Scale off road racing but this KV rating, 4 pole motors and 2s, 3s stuff has taken me quite a bit of research to get the info I have been looking for. Your vids have been extremely helpful. I have a question for you though. Have upgraded all my electronics. Currently have a Tekin RX4 and a Maclan MR4 3500 to run on my 90c 3S batteries. What gearing, pinion, would you recommend for that setup on my Rock Rey? Any help would be appreciated. That's the only info I can't find anything on.

    • @TheRCNetwork
      @TheRCNetwork  7 лет назад +1

      Stay with the stock spur gear, and probably the stock pinion.....you may need to go up a tooth or two on the pinion though depending on your track you race at. The longer the straights, the more speed you'll want. I'm currently running a 14t pinion, but a 3200kv motor (slower than your 3500kv). Also - quick tip. Find the 1.5mm set screws that are in the rear sway bar and tighten them down. It tightens the sway bar and removes most of the torque twist you'll see on the new motor

    • @ocdmods4992
      @ocdmods4992 7 лет назад

  • @joekrinkey8355
    @joekrinkey8355 7 лет назад

    I was able to find the XR8 SCT Pro at my lhs, but not the 3660. They have the 3656 (in 3400 or 4700kV), the 4268 (in 1900 or 2600,kV), and the 4274 (in 2250kV). Do you think one of these would be comparable, or should I be patient and order the 3660? Also, is there a reason you chose the 3200kV over the 4300kV?

    • @TheRCNetwork
      @TheRCNetwork  7 лет назад +3

      Joe Krinkey I would wait for the 3660 - it's a 550 sized can motor which is perfect for the Rock Rey - the 3656 is a bit small and the 4268 would have to be shoe-horned in and you would need to run 4s.
      The 3200kv is a great option on 3s and gives you the torque you need for the large tires and big drivetrain. The 4300 may do okay, but you will have heat issues.

    • @joekrinkey8355

      Thank you for the info! Your videos are super helpful to a rookie like me! Out of curiosity, I generally see the Rock Rey compared to the Yeti, but have you ever compared this to the Bomber? They seem more similar to me (I'm torn between the two right now, but leaning towards the Bomber only because it's available in a kit).

    • @TheRCNetwork
      @TheRCNetwork  7 лет назад +1

      Joe Krinkey you can get the Yeti in a kit also.....they compare the Yeti and Rock Rey because of the looks and they use the same suspension - Independent front and solid axle rear. The Bomber is totally different and uses two solid axles, but is similar to the Yeti's rear using trailing arms vs the Wraiths link suspension. The Bomber will drive different than the Yeti/rock rey. You'll be able to go faster/turn easier in the Yeti/rock rey with the open front differential.

    • @joekrinkey8355
      @joekrinkey8355 7 лет назад

      Sorry, I meant I was torn between the Rock Rey and the Bomber. I didn't realize the Bomber used a solid axle in the front. Now I'm leaning toward the Rock Rey (I live in the Rockies, I think the IFS would give me more versatility in the terrain here). Seems like I've got some research to do. The info is greatly appreciated!

    I'm going to try the panels too. I know you can just cut the panels but I have a CNC machine I'd like to setup for it. Then I could save the file and use them again in the future if I needed to. I watch all your videos and learn a lot from them. Thank you for all you do.

    You made me spend sooooo much money, lol. In your other videos it looks like you put in hot racing trailing arms. You like them? I also noticed some light buckets/rear light bar. What part is that? Mine would brown out with the stock ESC if I tried crawling really slow. Added a BEC which also improved my Savox servo. There is an actual Rock Rey servo horn now. Clears everything really well. I didn't like the link between the horn and bellcrank, so I put in a Slash 4x4 one with SCTE rod ends and modded one end so it cleared the bellcrank. It's a lot stronger now and allowed me to get perfect trim. After replacing my 3rd member with the SSD, I noted it was shimmed with one washer on the inside. Gear mesh didn't seem right with it on the inside, but with a 6mm nylon on the outside it seemed perfect (I'm hoping that wasn't a bad idea). I so want to change the diff fluid in mine. Did you get new gaskets? I remember one of my SCTE diffs, the gasket didn't survive disassembly. Thanks!

      Jordan Phillips it came out right after the SSD 3rd member....which I already had. I want to give this one a try before the F9's...

      Peter Fusek Unfortunately it's probably ruined. I did the same thing once, then, I found out that they have an exchange program on the Castle Creations website. If it's still under warranty they have an option for that but if it's out of warranty they will still fix it for a price. They charge about half as much to replace your damaged ESC rather than buying a new one.

      Peter Fusek not sure of which model you have, but many higher end ESC's have capacitor banks for this and when reverse polarity happens it smokes the bank.....kinda like a safety blanket. I would contact Castle and be honest and see what can be done. Best case - replace the cap bank if it has one. Worst case - time for a new ESC, which Castle may have a replacement program for.

      yes do what they said and then switch to Deans connectors on all your stuff. you'll never plug in reversed with deans I can reach under my truck and plug in the battery without looking and not worry.
