Limitless My Limitless V2 Build - Nothing too crazy (yet)

[EJunlimited]

I just get complete screw kits from Jenny's. It's nice to have extras of a bunch of different sizes & types that you'll need. Then I also buy bulk m2, m3 & m4 cap heads in different lengths as well

Same brand as this one?

Stainless is a considerably softer metal. Stick with the black screws.

The Spektrum Servo that Horizon Hobby recommended for this car didn't fit. The body of the servo itself fit, but not with the thick insulated wire attached to it. Ran to the hobby shop last night and picked up a different servo with the conventional flat wire. Savox 1273TG.

Fits as it should!

Got this mess installed

And because taking pictures of the process every step of the way is cool, tx and rx bound and servo horn installed, power switch mounted:

Working on installing the motor now, had to reposition the front cover of the can to get the motor mount holes oriented in a way to allow the motor wires to sit at an angle and pass underneath the top chassis brace, so that they can reach the ESC plugs.

And the motor is mounted:

Nice work! I just started a V1 limitless and I’m super jelly of all that room you have for a motor.

Loving your progress, but you gotta get rid of those button head screws in your motor mount! Use some cap head screws & some washers, those'll strip out the 1st time you move it

Oh really? I'll take note of that and pick some up. The button heads are what came with the car. I of course used locktite, and it stayed put during my bench test.

Thanks! Yeah I can put quite a can in there. Maybe I will eventually, but going to enjoy the Spektrum setup for a bit.

I do not know if this would be the case, but would repositioning end caps on the Spektrum motors alter the motor timing as it did on the older brushed race motors? If so, could it influence the timing settings in the ESC, as the physical baseline would be moved?
That is one sexy build, man!

I don't think it'll mess with timing at all, since it was just the outside metal plate cover that needed to be repositioned

What motor are you putting in your's? I think they have the same amount of room . Have a feeling his motor may be smaller. Could be very wrong if they moved the motor mount towards the rear on the V2.

I don’t think it works this way. Some dedicated race motors do though. I have a HW 3652 that can edit timing manually like that. Pretty cool stuff.

PM me your address and some better screws will magically appear in your mailbox.

Just a 4274 for now but I plan to go much bigger eventually. And yes, the V2 motor mount was moved to allow longer motors.

Correct V2 motor mount moved back for more room for bigger motor.

First run today, ran 4S just to get a feel for how it handles and everything. All in all, handles really nice. I don't have a GPS yet, and the transmitter only shows speed of the motor. My guess would be that it topped out at around 65? The stock ESC settings of braking force are laughable, so had to program that to a higher braking force so I can actually stop lol.

Also, I may have gone a little drift crazy in the lot

That last pic shows that you should probably adjust the suspension. Get the contact patch in the middle of the tire.

Yep, there is a little too much camber in there lol

Thanks for letting me know that . I'll have to remember that so I don't make a fool out of myself.

SkyRC or Dynamite GPS?

Sky seems to be the popular choice
