Stu Wood signs for AR.
Just to let you all know I am now racing for AR. Please by all means PM me for anything regards any of the AR products as I am running all 1/10th products. Speedo's, motor's, cells,servo's etc.
I ran the Xpro for the first time at weekend at the North West Regional straight out of the box with 30' caster on the front, alloy rear hubs and graphite T peice. Found the car very understeery at first but that got better. Finished 6th behind some National A finalist's which I thought it was cool for out of the box. |
Congrats woody :)

1st question
Hy woody!
You said we can put questions on so here is my first one: What is the main difference because between an EZRUN 8.5T motor and one like this ( http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...idproduct=6672 ) because of I should buy the more expensive EZRUN? This would be one more option http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...dproduct=10438 I am asking because I am new to these, so please handle with patience :) Cheers! |
The question you have to ask yourself is how many money can I spend for the esc and motor ?
Then, you/we can give you an answer :) |

Only that I still don't understand how the numbers affect the actual performance and where is the good balance. Of course there is a price/quality factor. only that, I'm still finding myself in the situation where you are looking for the "cheap and good" solution :) Keeping in mind that EZRUN combo thou :) |
woody
good to see you out there...with a not run of the mill car:thumbsup::thumbsup:
looked vvvvvv quick and smooth good look this w/end with the big boyzzz... |
I'm glad you like my answer ;)
Well, a good balance about performance for a 2wd is a 8.5T motor. Not too big, not too slow. You can start with that. About the ESC, start with at less 60A, you can use a bigger motor if you want, the esc will warm less and the power will be enough. You can buy a 120A as well, but it's more expensive. The cheapest esc are sensorless, it's enough to begin, but if you want to change the motor, maybe you couldnt find any good sensorless motor, and if you take another motor witch is sensored, you'll not sure it works correctly. The best choice could be the ezrun combo, cheap, good performance, sensorless or, the xerun combo, a little more expensive, but sensored and good performance. |

Just to let you all know, I finished 36th out of 120. Out of the box the car was very safe and a little understeery for me( I like lots of steering). I had a big problem with the front end fitting in the BRCA box so I had to put the plastic front wheel hex's on but made them thinner with a dremel. I am also playing with some made up piston sizes which make the back end a lot better over the bumps. A lot of people was watching anyway so hopefully this is the start of bigger things.
Got soome more idea's for it so please keep an eye on here and I will let you all know. To top it off though, very good out of the box,did'nt break anything, nothing fell off, very good over bumps and jumps and room for improvements.:thumbsup: |

Nice one Stu - well done - quite a good placement considering its a new car etc :thumbsup: be interesting to see how you move up when you get the car suited to you :thumbsup: |
Piston.
Stu, I'll be trying the losi jrxs piston this week. They need to be drilled in the center but the hole is the same as the offroad one.
Good luck with AR :) |
