no viddies for me. w/e if it u have to trouble shoot. rule the motors out hook them up seperate to the gears and go from there all they way down to the driveshafts

[Matt Palm]

im on a rc forum as well i posted all of there vids there. at this point im ready to take it to the hobby shop in grayslake

[ItHurtz]

rcgroup? rcuniverse?

[Scottydoggs]

i just watched 2 of your vids, i think you either need to tighten the slipper clutch on the spur gear, the nut with spring on it.

or you burnt the little pegs up and are scoring the spur gear its self and not getting any grip.

[Matt Palm]

it could be the slipper clutch i did loosen it a bit thinking the brakes were binding

[Scottydoggs]

i always set mine so i could nail it with out pulling the front wheels off the ground, turn it 1/4 turns at a time till it takes off how you like, once its pulling wheelies, your to tight. back the nut off some.

[Matt Palm]

ill be so happy if thats the problem yet so upset at the same time lol.

[Scottydoggs]

ive burnt up more spur gears then you want to know about. melted a few too, the whole center hub was just gone, i was in a race on a track and the truck really seemed to be "hooking up" really well, next thing i knew it was free revving. the whole center hub where the frictions disks rub the little pegs in the spur gear were melted. disks fused to the spur gear too.

you think your breaking stuff, nitro tears rear end gears up, new sun gears used to run me 30 bucks, and they sell it with plastic gears, so you will someday have to up grade to the metal gears, and then they still blow up.

then the damn motor would vibrate loose and move the clutch gear away from the spur gear, another 3 bucks in the trash lol

oh, and shock oil is over rated lol after the first bottle of oil was gone i used them dry, add a few spacers to tighten up the spring rate some and had at it. bust a lower A arm, and the shock always split open.

My electric car eats rear ends. The instant torque will snap 2-3 teeth of at a time.

[Matt Palm]

oh i know about the spur gears lol my revo 3.3 ate those up doing donuts didnt help one bit

[PurpleGuy]

More importantly, I still want an XO-1 so I can do triple digits.

[Matt Palm]

this is what would happen to me with one

[PurpleGuy]

Ya seen it lol. Car goes BOOM.

[Scottydoggs]

that guy should have zigged, he clearly zagged lol

[Matt Palm]

it seems they like to go airborne at around 110mph

[PurpleGuy]

Need more downforce haha. They actually have TONS of downforce. They create enough downforce to drive upside down.

[Scottydoggs]

i just want a serpent rc car of any kind, as long as its got a 21 or larger engine on it. these things drive like its on a rail.

[Scottydoggs]

riding the rail. these cars are bad ass.
