Good info, done well. I do like the hsp 2wd. I have the viper bl, and agree about too much low end power and unwanted wheelies :) I wonder if the longer Storm chassis (60701) would help giving more weight to front end? Then maybe the shell would not fit.
@@stephennogare I feel like stadium trucks are just like that also. You could try running a shorty battery up front of the battery tray as well as loosing your slipper clutch a little bit and maybe run a little less gripper tires depending on the surface you're running on be it a high traction or low traction surface. I guess the positive is on low traction surface like loose gravel or dirt it should grip pretty well.
how do you keep the pinion and spur whole with 3s on mongoose as on my grampus ive destroyed pinions on 3s so easy also looking to convert my grampus top buggy from time to time as its same chasis
@@shmelie 1.make sure you have a good mesh. Mesh needs to be close but still spin freely without binding, pinching or whining sound you also get if too close. You need some play but only the smallest amount. 2. you also loosen the slipper clutch a little(not too loose obviously) This also affects the driving dynamics too If the slipper is very tight the vehicle will easily wheelie if that's not want you want you can loosen as a form or wheelie control but it's main purpose is to protect the spur gear under heavy load. Ideally the slipper clutch will slip before you destroy your gear. 3. use a harden steel pinion not a brass one. A Brass pinion under high speed will heat up and deform creating sharp teeth that will chew your spur gear A harden steel one will not deform under high rpm.
