Typhon Motor mount?

[arrmaggedon]

hello guys. Being new to the Arrma chassis, i come across something that i have a question about. And that is, has anyone ever tried cutting the motor mount this way so you can get bigger pinion gears in? thanks for any info. especially if you've tried it.

I have fit up to a 29T pinion in my Typhon 3S and had to dremel the inside to get it to fit. Nothing as drastic as cutting the side off.

kool..and had you tried say a 20t or 22t and seen any increase in speed?

Well yeah of course. But I was doing speed runs, which is one pass then wait for it to cool. Three passes max.

U won't really notice the speed TBH IMO. I put a 26t in my senton and really didn't notice anything. I know it got faster, but no drastically. OR MY EYES JUST SUCK

Jd your fast...jondilly1974 nows more bout this subject than anyone IMO

If you want more speed, go brushless. You wont regret it.

have you ever found a different motor motor mount that can be used without a center diff.?

i've always gone brushless unless i;m doing a test fit.

Not yet. I’m going to try to make one this winter when I have down time.

i'm thinking about putting another diff. where the slipper clutch goes since i want be using a clutch anyway and trying to run a dogbone from it to the main rear diff??

I’m going the other way. I’m running spools. I don’t need any slip or diff action. Mine is a dedicated speed run car

yeah. i plan on locking all the diffs up with the help of some jb weld..upgrade the axles to something that will hold also

Can u teach me how to make a spool for a 3s model?
lol

I already have the HR ring and pinions. I’m easy on driveshafts as I’m slow on the throttle anyways. But I might end up with dogbones for the center shaft.

what they call a spool is basically just another diff. aint it?

You can just superglue the whole slipper assembly

 

[Exc3l]

You can just superglue the whole slipper assembly

Or fill it up with silicone plugs
Unrelated but How big of a pinion can I go? I have a 6s Arrma system in a 3s with metal gears

yeah. i had a rustler and i screwed it together and tightened the spring all the way up with lock tite

that's what we were discussing. I cut the back part off of my motor mount so i can maybe get 26t -30t

Look at the optional parts list. You "should" be able to use the largest pinion size they have listed, which is a 32T

ok..thanks for the heads up!
yeah. i would love to be able to get at least a 2:1 gear ratio
