I run a Superstock BZ with an Mtronics 20T ESC and the 20T pinon, std Acoms servo, GPM shocks, usually running a 4500 battery but sometimes lower. Shocks are a bit soft but it's great on flattish gravel/dirt. Plenty of dust thrown up from a standing start!
Lost one of the step screws from the front knuckle, wondered why the wheel was at a funny angle...
does it wheelie? mine with a 1500 cheap battery wheelies on the carpet on a full charge and stock motor, but i would like to wheelie on the street to
-
no it has the 18t stock
-
thanks for the reply and the compliment, i was looking at the super stock bz motor, but wasn't sure how it would preform, and would i be able to use the 20t pinon?

hey i got me a new truck, its a tamiya blackfoot xtreme, and i have ball bearings and oil shocks, i wanted to know what motor you would recommend and what you think of my truck
-
was the modification you did to the crp bumper required??
-
is it possible for you to make a how to on that wheelie bar? i need one for my super blackfoot, and yours looks like a good idea
-
yep, that is all that will fit also i meant 4" shocks not 4" bearings i just cought that
-
bearings are 5x11 and 4" will work
-
i wish i could find a king blackfoot, i have a super blackfoot that is running a king blackfoot chassis. and now i have a blackfoot extreme, i plan to own all the blackfoots
-
i use carb cleaner to clean out gearboxes and gears
-
does any one know the gear ratio of a hornet?
?

here is a picture, its a little blurry

ok, i already have a wheelie bar, and some proline tires, but i think i might need a new body first?
-
ok then how about a 6900? that has less torque
-
i think the differential should handel it, it has the same diff gears as the blitzer beetle, and this guy is running a trinity n80, wich is a 8000kv motor. so it should hold up right?
-
ok, so do you think it will handel a mamba max 5700?
-
How strong is this truck? And what usually breaks?
-
Probably you land after a jump at full trottle and when the wheels touched the ground again the motor torque did strip the gear.
No slippery clutch and a torquey motor and this is the result.
Max
when i jump, i let go of the trottle compleatly
I don't know what to tell you now... I've had half a dozen of those gearboxes over the years and never stripped anything, and I've done some truly stupid things to them. If anything breaks, it's usually the axle tubes where they attach to the housing.Maybe it's overheating the motor, and the excess heat is causing the gear to weaken or softening the motor mount and changing the gear mesh. Old motors weren't nearly as efficient as newer ones, and heat was sometimes a problem, especially if the motor is worn. That's about all I can think of. Try a newer motor, and see if it holds up better. There are a lot of cheap mod motors around that will outperform "vintage" motors.
the motor runs cold
-
every thing looks and lines up great. what else could it be?
-
Do you have ball bearings in it? If you're still using bushings, they could be worn enough to mess up the gear mesh.
If you have bearings, it almost has to be something assembled wrong and not lining up. You should be able to run just about anything short of a small-block Chevy in that gearbox and not strip anything.
Maybe if you post a picture of the stripped gear, we can point you in the right direction.
im running full ball berings, idk how to post pics, but the gear is missing 3 teeth
Is the pinion gear worn? As it wears it creates sharp points that will just rip into the spur gear. And if there are the kit plastic bushings in there instead of bearings if they are worn they will move the gears apart and again damage the gear teeth.the pinon looks brand new
Nothing really to add other than the gearbox should take a lot more punishment.I've been running mine with a castle creations brushless motor that revs at over 45,000 rpm and the gearbox sounds sweet - and is working fine. Before that I had a 19 turn motor installed, again with no issues.
Could it be a fault with the gear box casing, or motor mount plate?
how would i tell if it is a fault in the gear box, or motor mount plate

i keep stripping this gear in my tamiya lunchbox, the first one had about 50 runs with the stock motor, and then i felt the need for more power. the motor i put in it was a yokomo twisters motor, and on the first gear, i got 5 runs, and then i gave it full trottle from a dead stop, and it partially lifted the fron end, and just stoped, then the same thing happened on the second gear, but this time it was on the 10th run.
is their a solution, im tired of stripping gears. here is a video of my lunchbox with that motor in it.
http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti00...=LXGN41&P=K - the part were the pinon touches the gear is were it stripped
- video -
if its not a problem, can you post a pic of just that metal piece, because mine seems to limit the front suspention down travel.
thank you
hello, can any one help me with this?
-
great idea, i could of used that a little earlyer =)
Lunchbox "4th Shock Mod"
in Monster Trucks, 4x4, Wheelie Rigs and Crawlers
Posted
ok, so i cut my wheelie bar so that it now moves all the way up, and stops at the botom. and then i decided that it would maby hold a wheelie batter if when it wheelied it had a cushion. and i created the "4th shock mod" sorry if any one else did this yet
how i cut the bar
bf xtreme shock mounted
