hay all hows it going, so yesterday the post man baught me a pair of 23 turn ansmann clash motors, and today the postie had a 10 turn limt esc i baught cheap from the bay of e, this morning i remove the msc (should point out i had loads of fun with the truck while this was fitted) and fitted new motors , and esc, and made up some motor spliter cables to wire bot to the esc (its 10 turn single, so from what i have read the 23 turn should no be a problem)

then it started raining :-( the esc i have isnt water proof so did take the truck out :-(

so this afternoon im gona modify a plastic box to but me esc in so i can glue it in perminant and make water proof, should i worry about the steering servo?? i have already submerged the servo several times with no problems!!! the reciver i always bag and tape up ad never had a problem this way,

also how water proof are the gearbox's?

the question i have is which pinion gear should i run, i see the truck takes both 18tooth (fitted) and 20 tooth gears which would be better?

picks will follow, but probalbly tomoro once i have re fitted electrics, cheers snake

WIth 23t motors you should be able to run 20t pinions fine. Your choice is simply do you want more top speed or more acceleration?

You will be fine with two 23t motors run through a 10t esc, but be careful sealing the esc in a box, as it needs airflow to keep cool, and will go bang if it has no thermal overload protection or just keep shutting down if it does.

Don't worry about water in the gearbox or motor, but make sure no grit can get in by sealing them properly when you build them. Some people fit rubber caps to their motors to stop grit and dirt getting in, but again you need to be wary of removing cooling airflow, as motors can burn up very quickly if they get too hot.

just got in from running couple of packs in the turck up the woods, and what a diffrence, the 23 turn and the esc transform the truck, the motors give it a fiar turn of speed, but its still reall torquy, its struggle for grip a bit thou, new tyres needed i think, am gone get som 20tooth pinions just to see what its like with them in!

the box i put the esc in i cut the top off and glued a heat sink on, the esc's own heat sink is in contact with mine, (thromo paste stuf from me pc box inbetwwen) so im not worried about the esc getting warm!

what servo does every one recomend cause thats my next mod after tyres, then ill be on to a new shell :-)
