Sharing with the community my latest creation and love for the 2wd simplicity.
.... I just recently upgraded my Granite voltage to ‘4s’ power!
- 3660 2600kv motor; added trimmed heat sink+fan on chassis ‘cutout’
- Hobbywing sc8 mounted way up front on top of steering servo to help calm down ‘some’ unwanted wheelies with weight distribution
- Shaved the top under ‘rails’ to squeeze in a ~4500mah soft pack 32mm brick!
- Filled and sealed rear diff with 1M plus bits of silicone ear plugs (very solid LSD)
- Stock tires balding like crazy now on the streets; still need more grip!! Not sure how modify out the excessive rear toe-in?
- Need throttle fitness during turns unless you want to go into a drift you can NOT save; added gyro GYC300 and it still has it’s limits at full opposite-lock!
- stock plastic diff drives still intact probably due to babying it. Punch level softest-1 and tire slip probably reliving stresses.
- Vented body to stop lifting at 40 mph when hammering the throttle!
- GPS 54 mph so far on biggest 25T pinion; I think the trans is now making horrible plastic gear noise synonymous with wear, soon to fail ?
Next steps: bigger 3665 3500kv motor, 6s esc and strap down the other battery half on top of chassis (gotta make room some how ?)
