My son's friend gave him a broken Typhon mega 550 home. I always wanted an RC car, and I love building things... I've been fixing/rebuilding it the care. After buying batteries and charger, installing a new servo, motor, ESC, and "machining" a new grub screw for the pinion gear. I got it running pretty well.
I have a couple of questions that I had trouble finding the answers to. I would love some help... so here they go:
1) The front right tire is not aligned. Everything I read talked about turnbuckles, but the links don't have any adjustment, I don't see anything bent or broken, is there a way to fix this, or do I need different links? What should I be looking for?
2) I went down a bit of a rabbit hole on the motor/esc. If I went with the BLX motor and ESC, I believe I would need a new slipper clutch, motor mount, and pinions (about $160 at Jenny's RC). I decider to order a Hobbywing Max10-3652SL-3300KV so I wouldn't have to change everything up (i.e keeping the stock 91t spur gear and slipper clutch). I am starting to second guess my decision. What Would be the advantage of going with the components from Jenny's? Would I need to make other changes to support the larger motor? Is there another combo that people would suggest?
3) Just curious, I see a ton of after market parts for other companies, but not so many for Arrma (for example slipper clutches and spur gears). Why is this, or am I misreading the situation?
Thanks so much! This is a ton of fun!
