Ruckus gets more power

[streetracer621]

Last night I went to change my pinion, and ended up also changing my brushless motor from the 3900kv to a 5200kv. I am running a 22t pinion and the stock 87 spur. Today I got a chance to take it out in my small backyard area and have some fun with it. Shot some nice video of the bashing session in wet grass and leaves. Can't wait to do some speed runs with my friend on Saturday.

Looking good @streetracer621, keep us posted on your speed runs.

Tried a speed run in my small parking lot at home, but I definitely need more room to get an accurate top speed. Can't really complain about 57 kmh/35.4 mph.

Got rained out yesterday, but went with my friend to the hobby shop and while hanging around did some bashing on their small carpet track and ramps. Heard the spur gear start to strip after some heaving bashing, so stopped immediately. Got home and upgraded to 32p gears.....15/54. Heading out to do some runs today.

Ruckus topped out at 39 mph with 2s lipo on a very windy run.

RC10L/RS4 hybrid hit 33 mph on 2s

Mini Slider hit 20 mph on mini 6-cell NiMH

Bandit hit 41 mph on 2s lipo

Tamiya Subaru Brat hit 25 mph on 6-cell NiMH

Nice!

Stripped my 32p spur gear, so while waiting on a new one I swapped to my 3930kv motor and a 20/90 48p gear setup. Can't fit the gear cover over the 90 spur but no biggie.

So did some bashing around my condo, racing across the small lot, jumping the curbs, kicking up grass and dirt, and the motor temp after a full 3300mAh 2S pack was 144 F peak, and ESC was 80 F.

Before going out to do full speed runs, I adjusted the ESC timing back to 16.75 degrees rather than changing gearing. I was able to get 32 mph out of it, with a nice cool 77 F motor.
