@djmedic2008 and the axial 55t motor can work with the 7.2 baterry?
sorry about all this question but i really need to know to do things right.:)

@rabfs no – you will melt the esc

does the axial esc with the axial 55t motor work with an 11.1volt battery?

okay medic i made a great discovery i mounted my stock savage shocks on my scx 10 honcho in a droop set up (no springs) and they work awsome they give in so much travel its un real i can climb almost anything and they allow the scx 10 to really twist to the maxx …..try it out guys

Planning my build at the moment and like your battery choice. Looking at the MaxAmps site there are so many choices. What run time do you achive with your setup? Is it worth considering a smaller, say 860mah that will be much lighter to reduce CG? (eg an AX10 battery and possibly adding to the front axial) Thanks for your help.

@PontiacGT201 I have just brought this setup and the capacitor is supplied with the kit.

@somewhathigh Hello my friend, its completely personal choice of course
If you have not been having problems with the speed of the rig, then no worries at all. Some folks like a bit more wheel speed (for example in my TTC videos you need some extra “umph”) but 55 is also a great motor. I use a mix of servos – one of them being Traxxas 2075 waterproof – but also I use a Hitec 645MG, and waterproof it myself. Thanks for the support and the comment man! Good to know peeps are watching

alot of people have been telling me to use a 35t motor, but I bought a Novak 55t paired with a rooster crawler ESC with linelocs both ways. so far I’ve been able to drop it into the deepest pit I could find and with a little tweaking on the trim I have no problems pulling out of anything or climbing hills. The only problem im having now is steering with bpth my honcho and my scorpion. Any good suggestions for a high torque servo to improve? Love the videos and following you on RC Tech forums.

What type of capacitor is that? is it needed. im gettingthe same esc and motor you used here.
January 6th, 2011 at 12:59 pm
can i install that into a rtr honcho and whats it uased for
January 6th, 2011 at 7:49 pm
do you know where i could get a parallel or y harness for this truck that has standard connectors on it so I can hook up my winch
January 9th, 2011 at 2:03 pm
how much did u pay for your soldering iron??…thx
January 9th, 2011 at 6:20 pm
how much is the esc and the motor
January 11th, 2011 at 8:14 pm
great video your run through on the electronics really helped me out I am new to the electric rc stuff always been a nitro guy but scalers are the way to go now.
January 14th, 2011 at 11:38 am
dude.
what is the motor RPM?
January 14th, 2011 at 11:28 pm
@dav1dh0ff Battery Eliminator Circuits are small devices that eliminate the need for a receiver and servo battery pack. They draw higher voltage from the motor batteries and drop it to a voltage level that is suitable for your receiver and servos. This is required in applications which draw high power for multiple servos or use more than 3S motor packs, as most ESCs with linear BECs are not designed for these applications.

i thought the bec just meant you don’t need a separate battery pack for the receiver.
January 20th, 2011 at 1:29 pm
another question medic. will the honcho body fit my ax 10 scorpion rtr chassis?
January 22nd, 2011 at 2:54 pm

January 25th, 2011 at 9:33 pm

Hey DJ you should try corrosion-X for your waterproofing it works great . it;s easy to use too. just dunk your esc in and let it dry. check it out here on you tube.

Part 5 is now available as a video response below
January 30th, 2011 at 9:44 pm
nice vid, good explanation… I also use a fx-r esc on one of my rig and I love it
