Lunchbox - Too Fast For Its Own Good!

[skip665]

No real problem here but thought I would mention it for a laugh!

Fitted my Lunchbox with a few extra hop-ups last weekend - it now is fully ball raced, running a Tamiya Sport Tuned motor with a Hornet pinion being controlled by a GWS Navigator ESC and by eck is it fapping quick!! It is so fast now that its uncontrollable when trying to negotiate turns or stop from a high speed run! If you travel on anything other than smooth surfaces flat out its like a bucking bronco!

I wll be re-fitting the silver can motor or perhaps the original pinion to the Sport Tuned to try and regain some control - I never thought too much would actually be too much!

Ahh, thats nothing really.

I have a Novak 5800 brushless on mine, and tried a hornet pinion a few days ago. It still could do wheelies and was great fun until the ESC shut down. I guess it was running about 60-70km/h.

Btw. the ESC just needed to cool off, and Im now running a standard 10 tooth pinion again. It will do wheelies as long as you want if you are gentle on the throtle, otherwise it flips. The shell doesn't look nice anymore though. I use about one upright and/or one A-arm every 14 days, but what the hech, me and my sons are having fun ;-)

My mods are: 3'th shock, a modified wheelybar with 2 bigger wheels, ballbearings, alloy bodyposts, brushless motor, glues tyres, LED lights front and rear.

Sounds like when I used to run a Trinity 15 turn double in my Wild Willy 2. If I went about half-throttle in reverse, then hit full throttle forward, it would do a complete backflip and land back on the wheels.

I guess that's how I kept breaking body posts on it...
