Question on tire weight...fam
On the Big Rock 3S BLX v3, I added the belted Proline Trenchers HP 2.8"....love'em the no ballooning. They have more weight. My old 2.8" tires were non-belted weighted 6.65oz. The new belted Trenchers weigh 8.80oz.
In addition, the 3S Big Rock as we know came with a weak S651 servo most remove. Stock one is 7kg or 97oz-in. The DS3225 installed is 25kg or 347oz-in. I have a more expensive one never used a Savox SB2271SG 20kg or 277.7 oz-in. I feel the servo is well strong enough to move the belted tires.
A few months back, I added the Arrma CVD's not for any issues like popping drives, no slipper issues just thought it would be a better upgrade for longevity.
Question....with this slight change in weight running the belted tires now do you think this would be an issue within the drivetrain down the road...I don't feel these are overstressing anything but I don't know? Hoping you all can share some experiences, thoughts, or advice.
Thx
