RE: sweet, another more power for mmgt thread
so do you get 2nd gear shift wheelies and better top speed out of the axial? i was thinking a higher toothed cb with a bb would do the trick.

RE: sweet, another more power for mmgt thread
i thought about the axial's, because they'er so cheap, but i just can't help but imagine it would be torque overkill in this thing. i guess i can do some research and find a good mid range-top range pipe to tame the bottem end a bit and keep the low speed on the rich side. anybody know about the GO engines?

RE: sweet, another more power for mmgt thread
well, i've ordered the bb new era kit, so now i'm just watching for ebay deals. also, i've put on a tuned pipe i had for an old school rc10gt back in the day, but it didn't really do much for power. i thought about porting a polishing, but this motor will do until i get the upgrade in. i don't think a pp job will give me what i want, and then i'll possible make a tempermental motor and still get the upgrade later on.

RE: Size of set screw
man, this must be an issue with these trucks. i lost mine this past weekend. at first it just seemed loose, but i reinstalled it, and it lasted maybe a full min, then tightened it again and gave more time for the thread lock to set and it looked like there was some sheared threads on the screw. it didn't last at all after that, and i lost the set screw. i need to order new diff cups.

RE: sweet, another more power for mmgt thread
i haven't really read too much about drivetrain problems yet, so i assumed that it wouldn't be an issue as long as i don't put too much power through the truck.

RE: sweet, another more power for mmgt thread
at first i was thinking .21's because they should have the upper end power i want, with out the gear shreading torque of the bigger engines. but after scouring ebay looking at chop shop engines i'm seeing some really nice deals on .26's and .28's out of rtr's.

sweet, another more power for mmgt thread
so quick break down on me. i've been in and out of rc for about 4yrs now, and started with nitro. it was good fun, but when 18th scale was such the in thing, i jumped into that and fell inlove with lithium batts, and brushless motors. i then went on and converted several 1/10 and 1/8th scalers into monsters. i decided to give nitro another try since its been a while, and a neighbor just picked up a savage x. smart choice on my part was ofcourse mmgt at towers rediculas price. onto now. breakin and tuning is done and the truck is keeping my happy very nicely. but like all my other rc's, i will and do want to get more out of it. i know this truck isn't built to handle loads of powerr, and there isn't aftermarket support to get you there. so im looking at keeping it nitro, but weighing my options here. one thing thats crossed my mind was the trx 3.3 is a few short mods from fitting, but better than that the new era bb kit seems like the better option. now for your help. which is the more logical path to take, and also which engines should i be looking at for bb. i'm thinking i would like a high end screamer, as any bb should be a low end upgrade to get the front tires light. i'm looking cheap(@100-150$), not too much power that'll kill the drive train, and lots of speed, so high rpm, and also dead nuts reliable. i don't want tuning and running problems that'll cause me to convert it to brushless.

RE: Help deciding on vehicle
[quote]ORIGINAL: breezerboat check out the MGT 3.0. it's fairly inexpensive and a great little truck. I have it and it's tough. [/quote] i second this. it just can't be beat for what you get per price right now. idk if the model is being cleared out or what, but it is truely a steal! i finished my finial tuning on mine last night, and i'm completely satisfied. very fun truck, id say equal to a 2.5 tmaxx, but it might handle a bit better out of the box. i went ahead and put some offset wheels on mine and upgraded the radio. only issues i've run into are while break in, i had a hard time getting a happy tune that would idle for long periods. that imediatly went away when i changed to glow plug for a mccoy 59 and did my performance tuning. other issue is i broke the grab bar/handle during a rollover on the street. not a real big issue since i was planning on removing it anyways. long story short, its a great buy.

RE: took a break, but now?
that was my next issue, buggy or mt. i was considering the buggy because its cheaper so i can use the difference for upgrades or what ever. coming from the smaller scales i was thinking it should clear most obsticals i'm used to and if i need bigger, i can change it over with upgrades. is there a real difference between the buggy/monster truck besides wheel/body and gearing? if thats it, i don't really see where the price difference comes from.

RE: took a break, but now?
bumping this back up. i've done some reading and i see alot of support for the redcat vehicals. but i'd like a straight answer as to how the redcat compairs to the fs monster truck, and the smartech titan. looks like the redcats do have the smaller engines, and to me, the fs (mcd clone) just seem to look dated on their design in compairison to the other two. but idk, i'm just learning here. i'm not worried about local support, because id be luck to find a simple item for even a baja so i'll be ordering everything.

i'm thinking of taking on a large scale. i have no idea which ones to look at. i know i'd like to stick under $1000, and the further under that the better. i'm thinking i want 4wd as a top priority, but not set instone. from what i'm seeing it looks like there are alot of interest in the redcat's new offerings, but are the smartech's on par or better, considering price! how do these stack up against fs's rides? as far as i can tell, these are what i need to look at in my price range. i forgot to add i'm looking off road for bashing. any help here guys? also where's the best places to shop for these guy's?

i'm interested in the truck, but i need to see how those diffs last under some power. i always wanted something that could crawl well, but couldn't see spending $$ on something so limited (slow speed). this will get me close, but bashability looks great too. like said before a great blend of both. there's no way i could get the thing and leave stock electronics in it. i don't have it in me. i need 45+ mph and wheelies getting there to truely enjoy my bashers.

RE: A new beast. Meet, the Electric MGT! (56k, run!) Update!
do you think you simply over amp'ed the esc? i had a kb2300kv in my emax before and that sucker pulled some amps. granted yours is the L can and i had the xl, but still. very strong motors. id suggest if you plan on sticking with kb 45mm motors and those type of esc's, go with a lower turn motor, and increase voltage. that does wonders. with the same 100amp esc you fried, i put out just under 6hp in my 1/8th onroad car running 12s a123 cells. runs cool, and run time is very nice. onto the compliments, the truck looks great. i love these cheaper over powered setups. infact i prefer them over the main stream stuff most people dump lots of money on.

RE: process for returning a faulty velenium esc
well, what happend was he ran it maybe 7 packs until his FLM kit came in. then i built it for him after he gave up. once that was done and i tried to use it, it was very weak. i check batteries, programming, ect. everything was right, just very slow and weak. eventually within a couple of tries it started pulsating instead of a smooth spin. then next after that was no power at all. thats my simple break down. i checked the motor with another esc i have and its fine.

RE: Kershaw brushless for emaxx
feigao motors have been found to run happy in the 30-35k rpm range. so you should choose your motor's kv with the voltage you plan to run. finding pinions for a 5mm shaft is no problem at all. rc monster has then and also kershaw and findesigns. there are more also. tower is going to be stocking them soon too. now just to let you know. the 6xl is considered a hot motor and most of the times runs out of the limits of the mm esc. you're talking about using a sidewinder. thats really pushing it. if you absolutly have to use the sidewinder esc, maybe you need to look at a L can motor just to keep amps down. what might save your you know what is going to be the limit of your batteries. maybe they won't be able to supply enough amps to hurt those esc choices.
