27t stock

[Jameshs]

can i run a 27t stock motor on my standard blackfoot diff with a msc. the motor is a trinity paradox?

[GPZ1000RX]

Yes is the simple answer.

But it really should be ballraced first, and as soon as funds allow get an ESC.

[Jameshs]

its ballraced already so i better sort a esc out. but will it strip the diff?

[GPZ1000RX]

It might strip the gears, as I understand it the Blackfoot can be prone to this. I have an original Blackfoot and it came to me with teeth missing in the gearing and that only had a kit motor.

If you are concerned then it's best left alone.

The likely cause of such damage is the practise of slamming the car straight from forward to reverse or visa versa, spectacular but punishing all round!

If you do get a stock, then get a 24degree one NOT a 36deg one, the latter get very hot and wear out fast.

When you get an ESC find one with "punch control" and "reverse delay" if you can, well worth the extra cos it's much easier on those "vintage" gears.

Sorry, I see you already have a motor, the paradox will be fine!

thanks i think i will just leave it then

futaba esc would be ideal my mc230 20 motor limit is great you pull the lever back to brake, and then you release it when it has stopped and pull back again to get reverse .
