Hi Tobbee
I have got into the system and checked. Your order was sent out beginning of this week. It should have automatically updated. I have done it manually. But your order was definitely sent early this week!

Wow! Guess what I found in the mailbox when I came home? My Predator parts! Thank you TeamXtreme!
![]() ![]() I began to build it immediately, but now I've some problems with the diff. It loosen itself up! No matter how I adjust it it will loosen up! Should I put some threadlock on the diff screw so it won't loosen anymore? Edit: I found the problem. The former owner had locked the diff by gluing the thrust plates together. So when I now tried to rebuild the diff there were some glue inside the outdrive that prevented the thrust bearing to rotate ![]() ![]()

Yeah, put some thread lock on the diff screw. That's what I do in my x11

Got some tires today (Proline Holeshot), glued them to the wheels and went out for a test drive. I just have to say Wow! The handling was superb! It also turned really well, but not perfect, it's the servos fault because I use a standard cheap Hitec servo...But I will order a better one soon
![]() But after about 3-4 mins. the ESC shut down because of over-heating, the motor was also really hot (I couldn't keep my finger on the motor for longer than 3 sec.)! I use a bonded Novak 6.5R motor and a 17 pinion and stock spur. I didn't use the body at all because it's really tight to get everything to fit under it. I'm pretty sure the gearing is wrong but I didn't had any smaller pinions at home. So what gearing do you use in your Preds? Oh and btw, I ordered a sintered rotor today to see if I can get the temps lower.

Fit the sintered rotor and a 16 tooth pinion and try that.
I used to run a 15 on a 5.5. G

Just checked the XRS-manual.
I found this picture on page 4, explaining how to mount the diff. ![]() When looking into the X10-manual, it's clear that they used the same pictures, but this time added the necessary comment that you need to use threadlock. ![]() I also use a trick a friend and pred-owner learned me: tune the diff, and then add a little drop of CA-glue to secure it. |

Yup, threadlock the diffs, you can still adjust them, just makes them less likely to loosen up....
In my X11 I run a nosram 6.5 and with the 72 kit spur a 19 pinion, its never shut down due to temperature, and never gets worryingly hot.. Hope this helps... Tom

Thanks Lowie, but the reason why it loosen itself up was because there were some glue in the outdrive that prevented the thrust bearing to rotate, so when i tried to rotate the diff then the screw instead rotated and got loose. But now it's fixed and it still very smooth and tight after few runs
![]() Tom3012: How hot does your motor get? Has the motor a sintered rotor? Mine gets really really hot even without the body ![]() ![]()

its all about gearing if you have the wrong gearing right now then putting in a different rotor will nt make a difference.. go down a few teeth on the pinion.

Just call me tom!
![]() It very rarely gets untouchable hot... only if its a really warm day and im driving like a looney! a its just a standard bonded rotor... cant think as to why yours is getting so hot though, is your slipper really tight/loose? Tom

What tyres are you running? Big high profile dirt tyres will alter the overall gearing.

Jeff: Yeah you are probably right. I've ordered some smaller pinions to try with to see if it helps.

Got the sintered rotor today. Installed it and went out for a test run. Holy smokes what a difference! Before it didn't seem to have any brakes at all. Now I got too much brakes

If you using the same gearing, i understand it is cooler. the point and advantage with the Sintred rotors is, torque and you can gear it 1-3 T harder.. then you will see,the temp will go up again

Yep, but I'll keep it as it is now. Lots of torque and great acceleration.
