Crazy that you are putting a brushless into this with no structural upgrades. Ive driven mine only 2 times with the stock motor and broke it both times. I guess i just drive way to hard.
This is part 1 of this build😁 it will be getting a lot of upgrades. Im actually surprised you broke it stock its so slow I didn't break anything on it. I was jumping it too
On the weller soldering gun, loosen the hex set screws that hold the tip and retighten them. Soldering iron fixed. It's a bad connection from the heat cycles.
@@OverBudgetRC night and day difference for sure over your basic 70w iron from home depot. I would still reccomend having a weller soldering gun on hand though.
I went with a 5200kv motor and a 13 tooth pinion. I went with the 5200kv for slightly better top end speed but went with a 13 tooth pinion for torque. I may upgrade servo if needed but so far not needed. The Traxxas one is doing fine. The A arms will not handle brushless speeds. They brake with the brushed stock motor, so I got aluminum ones. Next will be aluminum axles.
@@OverBudgetRCafter messing around with mine, I think messed up the gearing. Still trying to figure this stuff out I guess. Thought I finally had it right. With the 54 tooth spur gear, 13 tooth pinion and 5200kv motor, I think it's spinning too fast and getting too hot. Shoulda went with a lower kv motor I guess. Can't really find any lower tooth count pinions that will fit the shaft. At least these parts are all pretty cheap. I can just keep the extra parts for later builds I guess. Idk, maybe the motor can handle the heat? Guess I'll find out.
I have the same ESC, but was told the 2445 size 5400kv motor would be too much for it and everything would get way too hot. I messed up. Would it be best to get the Hobbywing 2435 4500kv? How well has this system ran for you? Longevity wise. I'm only gonna go for 2s.
Im not sure about the 2445 size motor this one has been fine it does get hot but I run 3s. But this was a package deal meant to run 3s. I figured it would get hot but still be ok. The 2445 might be ok on 2s but I'm not sure and I wouldn't want it to get messed up for you. So I'm really not sure how that would work out. I have also seen people run this esc on 2s with a 7000kv motor in a Teton and it was fine. But I'm not sure the size of the motor sorry.
@@OverBudgetRCI took it safe and ordered the HW 4500kv 2435 to match the ESC. I almost ordered their 60a ESC, but....no. Didn't want the complication for now. This 30a ESC is more water resistant and actually fits.
i have to tell you something. my dad baught me a teton when i was 6 i started having fun whit it and then all of a sudden when i am driving in a puddle it died that was wen i was 8 so he got me a bruchless combo. he installs it and when i tutched the gas on the trans it blew the both diffs caus they were plastic he got me metall ones and it worked so good wen i was oround 10 i charched my lipo and it was in the car. boom it exploded and my tire was gon. the same year i blew the motor and then i got the brushless combo thats in your car and it har held up four 3 years
Thank you There are videos about it I have one a long time ago about it on a rustler. But basically it is the gap between the pinion and spur gear. If its too close it will bind and slow you down and heat up the electronics. If its too far it will strip out the gears. So an easy way to set it is get a strip of printer paper put it between the gears push the motor towards the spur gear tighten down to motor then you can remove the paper and it should be set.
I didn’t cut the connector off as I wanted as much wire as I could have so I took a hammer and hit the stock connector until it cracked and then just kind of peeled it off. Just so I’m not crazy, the stock Teton receiver cover does not fit over this ESC perfectly? It flairs out just a bit for you as well. Please advice. Thanks again
For a while now I've been looking at the MAMBA MICRO X EXTREME 1:18 combo. but it's 124 and this is significantly cheaper!! I wonder if there is any benefit or advantage to the more expensive one though. I'm sure it's not worth it.
I don't think so the only time I've paid to get a castle system was for a crawler and LMT because I do like the sensored setups but other I run Hobbywing all the time I have never had an issue.
So you can run my motor on 3s lipo which would be 56,700 rpm on 3s and the 7200kv motor can only run 2s but it would be 60,480 rpm so that motor has the potential to be faster but my motor would have more torque and and could be geared higher so that could end up being faster overall. So its hard to say. My motor would have more torque and would run cooler and if you look at my latest video I hit 50mph with it.
In this video thats what I used but it was upgraded later to this hot racing one amzn.to/3DLuhuS I'm still working on editing the videos but I'm moving soon and have just been packing after work
Lol the worst part was I got the soldering gun to work again after I bought the new one. It was a loose connection to the tip i had to replace the couplers. But I like the new one better anyways so I guess it works out
Bro do you know me I had told you to upload letrax teton brushless upgrade video iam waiting for it you done it 👍 thankyou so much love you bro
You're welcome sorry it took me so long I kept running into issues with this build.
@@OverBudgetRC it's ok but Iam so happy now ❤️❤️

On the weller soldering gun, loosen the hex set screws that hold the tip and retighten them. Soldering iron fixed. It's a bad connection from the heat cycles.
Ya I ended replacing them they wouldn't tighten anymore so it works again but I do like the new soldering iron better thanks.
I need a part 2 you r helping me soooo much thx u
Thank you. Perfect timing thats the next video I'm posting right now.
@@OverBudgetRC 😂👌
The off brand motor shafts and traxxas pinion gears have this issue for the latrax. So I’ve heard.
Ya i ended up using a team associated pinion my problem was I thought it was 48 pitch but its mod .5
Part number for that pinion?
Love my hakko, had it for years now but soldering larger gauge high current wire can be a pain in the ass
So far it has been awesome I should have bought this a long time ago
@@OverBudgetRC night and day difference for sure over your basic 70w iron from home depot. I would still reccomend having a weller soldering gun on hand though.
@@RobynTapps I was able to fix mine I just had to replace the tip and also the clamps and I was able to get it to work again so I'm glad about that
Been wanting to grab one of these and do exactly this gonna have a small rc track once we move. Think time to order!
Ya that would be cool its a fun little rc

Thats sounds awesome i have RPM arms on mine Ill see how they hold up

Wow that's good this system has held up that sucks you had all those problems along the way though.
Nice build dude 👍
Thank you
@@OverBudgetRC your very welcome
One question, when you say "adjusting the gear mesh" what exactly are you looking for when adjusting it?
Great video, very helpful!
Thank you

Awesome, thanks for the followup. I've got a new motor in the mail and can't wait to swap it out!
I didn’t cut the connector off as I wanted as much wire as I could have so I took a hammer and hit the stock connector until it cracked and then just kind of peeled it off.
Just so I’m not crazy, the stock Teton receiver cover does not fit over this ESC perfectly? It flairs out just a bit for you as well.
Please advice.
Thanks again
Ya this esc is bigger and it doesn't fit perfectly.
Is the connector that you soldered comes with the kit or it is from the stock?
I bought it separate there should be a link in the description
thank you. I was planning to upgrade my motor and ESC that's why I asked. Thanks for your video BTW.@@OverBudgetRC

I think it has enough power lol
This was on 3s.
Never mind you commented on there so you already saw it
Thank you so much bro
You're welcome I just posted a running video it hit 50mph with this system.
ruclips.net/video/5gu7bnneevE/видео.html
Will the 6500kv motor be to much??
It would work but only on 2s you couldn't run it on 3s
@overbudgetrc what brand is the adapter holder you have there the anodized orange one ?
I just got one on Amazon like this one
amzn.to/3BdIfGi
I have this exact setup but looking for a pinion gear for it... Which one did you end up getting to work on this shaft? thanks
I ended up using this pinion and I haven't had any issues alnk.to/cSCGlId
Which is better, your motor or BL motor 2430 4 poles 7200w?
So you can run my motor on 3s lipo which would be 56,700 rpm on 3s and the 7200kv motor can only run 2s but it would be 60,480 rpm so that motor has the potential to be faster but my motor would have more torque and and could be geared higher so that could end up being faster overall. So its hard to say. My motor would have more torque and would run cooler and if you look at my latest video I hit 50mph with it.
dose a g3 motor work
Ya it should
did you use stock spur gear with the 16 tooth pinion
In this video thats what I used but it was upgraded later to this hot racing one
amzn.to/3DLuhuS
I'm still working on editing the videos but I'm moving soon and have just been packing after work
What pinion did you end up using?
There is a link in the description
Is there a part 2 video yet I'm not seeing it
There will be I'm moving soon and haven't been able to edit them ive just been posting every other week sorry.
@@OverBudgetRC no problem I'm just interested in seeing more the motor on mine just went out and I'm looking at my options. Thank you for posting
@@OverBudgetRC good luck with your move BTW
@@doughboy0379 Thank you I can't wait
I do have a driving video with it posted its a short
The teton is almost done
Here is the video wasn't much but you can see the kind of power i was going for

Hey man, what pinion gear did you go with?
I ended up using this pinion and I haven't had any issues alnk.to/cSCGlId
@@OverBudgetRC ok thanks!
what pinion gear are you running since the latrax one doesn't fit on the motor shaft.
This is the pinion gear I ended up using and it works good alnk.to/cSCGlId
This was the most problematic rc video I’ve seen, rip your soldering gun
