Limitless Dual Motor Limitless tp motors scorched full length chassis

Alright guys, since the hobao builds are holding up great. Maintenance has been to a minimum with them,
Today I checked bearings on the 6-8s hobao build and they are all worn in perfectly and don’t need changing,
I decided to clear the work table and start break down of the dual motor build.

With the last 3 8s passes on it the other week I think I’m going to move this car to 4-6s runs from here on out.
It was really fun pushing the 4-6s numbers and want to continue that.
160+ on 4s will be the goal and 175+ On 6s will be the goals to hit.


I had the one motor bullets desoldered on me and one soldered itself into the esc cup,
I believe from me locking the brakes when the car was spinning, totally my fault.

I had to twist the cup off the esc board then resolder the cup to the board.
I don’t really have a great way to test this solder repair as I’ve never had to do the motor cups on the esc board. So I’ll let it test when I run the car again.
At least if one esc fails I have a second one in the car to control

New bullets on the motor.

When I reached out to Arthur from Vitavon to let him know what speeds I reached with his bulkheads he was incredibly happy.
Unfortunately the one input bearings that failed destroyed the front bulkhead.

This was 100% because prior to the third run just after do a 191 mph pass I didn’t check the bearings and just send it for a third 190+ pass.

He gave me a great deal on two more bulkheads so I had a spare to reduce downtime.

Front end off, time to replace bulkhead then reassemble

Typically I stay organized but I just spent the last hour trying to find the two input gears I bought a couple weeks ago. So frustrated I misplaced them. And of course I’ll find them at some point but tomorrow I head to the hobby shop to get a couple more

I may be wrong, but it looks like the RPMs when up right as you when off the throttle.

Looks like that was volts.

You are right (sorry guys) look it switches here:

Finishing up the front end today on this car,
New diff gears and bearings,
Spent about two hours tweaking the front end to get the steering fixed,
It had the smallest bit of binding which will put extra strain on the servo and sometimes cause it not to recenter.
One thing I make sure is perfect is steering.

Also with my last order of parts I did grab a scorched shaft to try,

Waiting on a couple gears to update the gearing and the dual limitless is officially reassembled and ready to run,

The plan was not to touch this until winter but, after the last run where I spun out and tagged the curb, I had to repair one esc and resolder motor bullets, I want to make sure the car will run as it should, I’ll likely do a 4s hit with it before the season ends.
Going to use the HV packs and jump up 2 teeth on the pinions from the 153mph pass, hopefully I can get near 160 on 4s.

Those GPM arms held up I guess. Mine have been fine after a couple crashes. Kinda surprised.

Yea, lost one of the nylon inserts on one, after my first crash,
So I just added a nylon washer and glued inside the arm to keep it from being loose.
They haven’t bent or anything,
I’ve measured them to make sure everything is even side to side

Looks like your right rear turnbuckle is upside down

Haha nice eye !!!!

I guess I’d have seen it eventually when I put the wheels on hopefully lol

I really like to zoom in on people's builds to get the finer details, which yours definitely have in spades!!

Funny thing is I’ve ran all my 4-6s passes and my last two 191 passes with it like that, the alignment was set with it flipped. I just had to readjust camber after setting it properly

There's a lot of TP on the shelf there!!! LOL

I admit I may have a motor problem. First step is admitting it , second step is probably going to be buying more lol

It's a nice collection for sure...but I think you're still sane. Tony Ingalls, on the other hand...may have a problem. When I commented about them his reply was, "You don't even want to know how many I've blown up...".

 

[vwturbowolf]

got a few runs in on this car today on 4 and 6s to see try and dial it back in before the end of the season.
Steering will need some work as I had to set the adjustments a little too far for my liking.
But it was good to get a few runs,

Actually snagged a new 6s pb too at 167mph
Solid day I would say,

Runs were 4s 152, 149 same charge
6s 167 85% throttle
6s run was overgeared so I set the throttle down some to account for it
