just got a b44
 

ive just purchased a b44 used chassis from here

now i need advice

on a brushless combo for it

1 LRP Brushless A.I. and Eraser 10.5T Combo

2Losi 1/10 Xcelorin S 10.5T Brushless Combo

i want it for bashing on my back garden

have i made the right choice in size or do i need less turns for the motor

next what pinion and spur would i need for this

also were would i purchase these from

thanks in advance for any replies

Go for the losi combo, much better value plus sintered rotor, ive had the earlier automatic set up stuff from LRP and its terrible, i turned it on and the speedo got all confused with itself, then it went up in smoke and melted :cry: got a free replacement and it did the same :yawn: thats personal experiences though not sure about the newer ones. have also had bad experiences with bonded rotors, so go for the losi set up! oh 10.5 turns should be plenty fast enough. Hope this helps :)

can anybody give any advice on pinion and spur sizes for this setup


thanks colin

ive had a losi set 6.5t and it was ok, cheap... much more feel with the latest update, but had few problems and horizon hobbys sorted them.
now i run LRP tc shere (25y warranty) with a losi motor and its much better
.
i run a 19t pinon on standard spur

if you get a losi system dont install set up from the disk! go on there web site and install v2 of the set up program, then you want to update you ESP through the set up, too v2.8 then you shouldnt have any problems.

thanks for reply and info

weres the best place to buy pinions from also spares

thanks very much for te links

as for the pinion am i right think

as long as te pinion is the right dp and teeth and fits motor is fine


thanks colin

ive just purchased this from the sales section

NOVAK GTB SPEEDO COMBO
with 5.5R motor

is this a good setup for the b44

what pinion and spur would you recomend

i dont want it getting hot or to ballastic

thanks colin

it's ok, might be abit too ballistic for you if your using lipo, 5.5t motor will get HOT regardless as it's a very fast motor. Standard spur which is (84t) and 17t pinion should be good :thumbsup:

ive not decided on batteries yet i might just make a couple of packs up

using some of my spare cells

thanks for the replies



colin

going get the lipo batterys get the power pumping out and then you will see the differents with nimh battery. i use lipo all the time 7.4v and 11.1v but you carnt race with a 11.1v lipo. battery nimh battery are not there good in brushless sytem .that what i think i used nimh battery before i got lip[o battery but my trucks is traxxas rustler vxl well fast i tryed with 7.2v and 8.4v and 9.6v and 10.8v nimh battery it should be hit about 65mph with this battery but i take 5 mins to get the power to get the speed up my opinion is that i would never buy a nimh battery again waste ov money i got two new battery for xmas 1 that a 10.8v battery and 1 that 9.6v battery so you can say that get 200 charger out ov nimh battery what a load ov shit the 10.8v battery green cell s are shit but my 9,6v battery work ok ish but the 10.8v take about 5 /10 mins for the power to kick out then it work. but that should be speed with this battery 65mph not nimh battery are crap??????:thumbsup:

yep that did it.... my eyes have just exploded! :wtf:

...... THATS FREAKING AWSOME!
