Castle Creations sidewinder 8th in a ruckus

[CrenstonCustoms]

What motor ESC combos do you have currently. I crammed the cc sidewinder 8th combo in my 2wd 1/10th ruckus. Its a blast! Tight fit though.

I have a Maclan 550 3500Kv with a Diamondback ESC in my Ruckus 4X4. It's... violent.

There is no shortage of power or torque. 550 motors are the only way to go for 4X4 vehicles...

Have either of you had to do any upgrading of driveline components to support those larger scale combos?

Steel Spur from Hot Racing. So far, both spur and pinion show no signs of excess wear. My big weak point is the wheel and hex. However, my PL Badlands 1/8th should be in Friday and I can install them along with the Hot Racing 17mm adapters for Traxxas.

We shall see how things hold up. Lol.

A side note, I lost the O-rings for the drive shaft and that took a crap. Oops.

Check my YouTube channel. I had to pit hot racing axles on, and key the wheel hexes. Nuts kept spinning.

Mods, should this be in the electronics sub-forum?

Probably works better in electronics than chassis and drivetrain. I've moved it for you.
