First time out with new motor and speed controler, testing 20/46 gearing speed and testing yeah fans, can they controll the heat from running those gears?
These fans are a lifesaver! I ran my car with no fan on 20/46 and it got so hot and threw my ESC into a critical error! Luckily, got a new ESC back from Traxxas and these fans keep my car cool, never gets above 130 degrees :)
This gearing is nice but not good for ripping and running. I tried mine today with no fan and boy did it get hot! So I’m going to gear it down. Definitely fast!!!
Still going good? I just ordered these fan cause I fried my motor.. I put a first gen mamba combo 2200kv in it ... Just ordered yr fans wanna run 19/46 but is that safe for bashing and some speed runs
@@dimitrissx8022 usually when the motor fry's the ESC is fried as well Traxxas replaced both of mine under warranty there was really no reason for it to fry I was on grass with stock gearing I'm starting to think it might be an issue with the ESC cooking the motor I'm not sure. I still recommend buying a Revo 2.0 they are a lot of fun to drive . I would just run the fans and I found that 18/46 gearing works really good for all around. You can still bash and have a 59mph top speed.
@@samjohnson517 I will run it stock and ofc as every beginner I'm spooked of lipos hope the Traxxas battery charger and batteries are foot because I was thinking of the 3s 5000mah ones
So have you did a full throttle run with it? And if so what was the top speed I’m thinking of doing this set up and I’m hoping to hit at least 65. Oh and nice hit with the trash can I did that the other week at full speed and broke the bulkhead bent the axle shaft and the toe link lol so I don’t recommend hitting those fast 🤣🤣
I know that was a bummer lol I hit 59 with the 20/46 gears but I think it had more in it then I just went 55 in my other video with 18/46 but that was pretty much with a blown tire. I put the 20 tooth pinion back in I'm going to try to do a run tomorrow if the weather is decent.
I know im asking the wrong place but does any of you know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account? I stupidly lost the account password. I love any tips you can offer me
@Grant Emerson i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and im trying it out atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
I hear people have been having good results running a 18 tooth pinion with the stock 54 tooth spur gear but I have never tried it, you could probably go a little higher on the pinion but just watch the heat.
Great, thanks. I took mine out for the first time today and the gearbox and moter were dumb hot even after I walked it home and let it sit so I don't think I'll go higher then 18/54. Thanks for your input mate.
Doesn't the app to Bluetooth controller monitor all of this including temperature? I just got a 2.0 and I can hammer on the thing full frontal and in all honesty I thought it would have way more balls. I'm also coming from a VXL upgraded 2 wheel drive brushed stampede... so I was expecting a lot...
Hello I don't use Traxxas link I just bought a cheap $15 temp gun. If you want that thing to move change the gearing go 18/46 or 20/46, changing the gearing is night and day. And I assume you are running 6s.. you should be all smiles after that.
@@samjohnson517 running 6 s . Traxxas 5000 packs. I ordered higher capacity and c. Rating batteries to see if that helps and to have a 2nd set of Batts.
@@jcallesano oh yeah! I've been bashing on 18/46 gears perfect for off-road, plenty of torque 59mph top end you have to try it you won't go back just get the Traxxas 18 tooth pinion 46 tooth spur and put fans on to keep it cool ( I would put fans on even if you left the stock gears) the 20/ 46 is okay but I like the bottom end of the 18/46 better the E-Revo 2.0 was way to tame on stock gears.
@@samjohnson517 what's the last sentence? Too easy to tame? If so, id agree. Im almost bored with it already....Been a week since I got it. I ordered dual yeah racing fans and mount last night to add regardless. But still still need more power, speed or both. My 2wd stampede is nuts compared to this. Different animal, but still a trip to drove the 2wd
It's pretty easy just remove that piece of plastic they have in that sets the pinion clearance. I set it by feel but you can stick a piece of paper in between the gears if and push the gears together and tighten it down. turn the gears to various points and keep rocking the spur back and forth making sure you have some clearance because some gears are slightly out of round. You may have plenty of clearance on one side of the gear but then not on the other.

I added dual motor fans but need a temp gun before summer, how hot does 130 feel to the touch? I imagine pretty hot but not quite hot enough to burn?
@@V8chump Yeah it’s hot, but doesn’t burn ya.
Nice run!

Yeah I like 18/46 much better I like the punch at the low end
@@samjohnson517 I’m going to give an 18 a shot. Probably need to get a fan too😂

Fans are going good although they're pretty beat up from rocks and stuff hitting them I've been running 18/46 gears with no heat issues.
Was thinking of getting one and i wonder how can you fry this motor
New to RC*

@@samjohnson517 so the motor was pulling so much current that the ESC overheated and died.Doesnt this have to do with the batteries you use too

Hey, so can I just change the pinion gear to get higher top speed with a stock spur and if so what's the tooth count on it.

You own a black edition🤔
What is when you crash
You can't buy a new black body
I see them for sale on eBay from time to time
You can for 160$

How did u set pinion and spur 20/46
It's pretty easy just remove that piece of plastic they have in that sets the pinion clearance.

U plugged them into the receiver?
Hello, Yes you plug them into the extra channels in the receiver
Old vid but are those the aluminum gears
Hello, the spur gear is plastic and the pinion gear is metal they are just stock Traxxas parts
@@samjohnson517 thought so because my gears are kinda loud on my erevo, but they are metal
@@BuckDaBurddo they have enough play between them?
@@samjohnson517 yes sir every thing is good, still runs after some huge hits so I think I did good with the mesh
What kind of fans are you running
