RE: Earthquake 8E new combo
[quote]ORIGINAL: nitrosportsandrunner so, im alittle confused. You buy a bigger motor, and higher amp ESC...only to run 3s so it will be slower for the kids? Just seems a bit odd to me...lol. Its a nice looking setup tho. You will have to run some 3s in series at some point and let us know how it does. Just make sure the punch control on the esc is turned up. Dont want the extra power blowing the diffs! I figure you will still get 30mph...and really long runtimes if you run say, 3s 5000mah packs in parallel. [/quote] Motor is bigger but with less kv (1900 vs 2230 for the stock one) 21,090 rpm (11.1v x 1900) vs 32,112 rpm (14.4v x 2230)... It is slower :) Impossible to run 3s in series, I'm gonna burn the ESC (good for 3-5s). I tried it yesterday with a 15t pinion.... Looks a little bit fast for 7yo kids. Will have to try with a 12t pinion. And yeah runtime should be long! 10,000mah!

Earthquake 8e servo upgrade
I updated the EQ8E servo today. I'm trying a "Blue Servo" from Hobbyking, model 660DMG+HS http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=9440 The servo is taller that the stock one: So I had to shim it: Then I had to play with the dremel on the motor mount and the plastic part on top (because the shimmed servo is higher, it wouldn't fit anymore on his place): Finally installed:

EQ8e part number
Hello, My friend would like to put those parts on his Backdraft 8E to add some strength but we're unable to find parts number on recat website. We need the long screw on the left (the smallest one on the right is part # BS903-094 right? and I guess the link is the same lenght as the steering linkage?

[quote]ORIGINAL: nitrosportsandrunner It may actually be faster than i will need. If that turns out to be the case, i think ill use a jumper on 1 of the batt plugs and use a 3s lipo.

RE: Shredder Upgrade Suggestions
Maybe you could try changing the pinion gear to get more speed. You just have to watch your temperature. :)

RE: Sumo Truggie
It might be the steering servo. Try turning the wheels to see if it stops.
