    I got my husband into RC racing after having wa baby and covid still creeping on us. I wanted him to get out the house and have a fun hobby. His brother in law has a team here in NJ so hubby joined . I went to a few of the races and now I’m hooked and I wanna race too.I would be the first female on the team and in south Jersey but I don’t know all that much about cars or RC cars yet so I’m trying to learn as much as possible that way I don’t look clueless lol plus I wanna have fun and win money!

    A little tip, if you use skate bearing or whatever on your wheelie bar you can clean the bearing and slowly add tool dip to the outer race to create a nice little tire. I do it all on my lathe but it can all be done with a drill and some sandpaper. Mice soft rubber that can be sized and replaced at will. They have a bunch of colors if black isnt cool enough. Ha. Anyway, easy way to do a rubberized bearing for cheap.

    If your running a 3.5t motor you will be better off and and have alot more tuning ability if you run a 90t spur and a much smaller pinion and then use the motor timing to get some more speed back in it

  • @gpaje
    @gpaje 3 года назад +2

    Nice video thank you! You may want to considering going 32 pitch spur and pinion, more durable, easier to set mesh, and cheaper overall. Leave the cover off, not needed with 32P gearing on slashes. We run that way in the sand, not an issue on the street.

    I bought a fully built bad ass drag car.. havnt used it yet and think I'll sell it. Has nick bell r1 system. After watching a bunch of videos it looks complicated. Set ramp on the m17 all the programming. Only couple passes in full battery. Plus tire prep. Seems takes alot of time. Not just picking up a remote and having fun.

    Fyi on diff lockers. The Hot Racing diff locker for the TLR losi 22s drag car does NOT fit properly. It's too short. You'll end up spinning one end out. I did, twice. That's when it hit me. I took the two lockers with one good end and one bad end on each one and cut approximately 1/3 of the bad end off of each one, then milled (sanded rapidly...lol) them down a little at a time until they both fit perfectly, cut end to cut end and put them both in diff. Originally I got 2-3 passes out of each one before they stripped. I've had these both in for a couple of months now with zero issues. Just good info to have I guess. Maybe you can pass it on.

    Where can I find NPRC rules & specs re chassis & suspension design, components & fab? Are there limitations on the motors & power supply? Can RPM & torque be adjusted independently? Are there any motor builders that will build a motor to custom specs? I'm thinking about the mechanical theory employed in the fastest & quickest standing start race cars on the planet. It appears that earning potential justifies a substantial R&D investment and I'm bored and I've always felt that winning requires innovation not imitation.

      I’m looking at getting a XL5 Bandit and Slash LCG chassis, already have bearings I can use as well as a VXL System, get the MJ body mounts for the Stampede so you don’t have to try and source the proline mounts AND don’t have the big hold down nobs that look like big, ugly warts in place of body clips. The only thing that might get pricy is the body and rolling stock. With the XL5, you could even run the standard radio since that one doesn’t use the gyro system in it.
