How do you set proper gear mesh? 🤔

[@Bziiit.]

Just like you did!

[@ricksprings]

I cut piece of paper & insert between pinion and spur gears. When I thread lock & torque motor mount screw paper sets up perfect gap.

[@JohnieDSM]

I usually check mesh by the spur gear - I think more precise option PS - motor was connected the same as android Valter/David repaired:D

[@dynasty4851]

I use a peice of paper

[@franciscoduran3688]

Hi 3 Sons RC, I´m thinking to buy an used but almost new EXB with Spektrum (Firma) 160A Smart ESC and Firma 1100kV Motor (5687 size). Your Motor has more RPM but has maybe less torque? The seller has 30/35/40t pinions in his offer. That should be quite powerfull? What do you think? Till now I have only ridden 1/10s 2wd and 4wd. 3S-5S...

[@3SonsRC]

@@franciscoduran3688 that setup is going to be an absolute beast! To be honest it probably too much for that rig.... Stock or slightly above stock is plenty, but you could always buy it and gear it down.... I would think 35t would be nuts. My 2 Cents

[@yaffajaff]

With a 22t I manage to pop wheelies. In a short course truck!! I would recommend Scorched Parts wheel fenders with Arrmas front dirt guards. The centre stays clean even in the dirt. It can block cooling, so a better ESC fan and one for the motor may be a good idea if the guards are fitted

[@TheRCNetwork]

God info right there! Thanks for watching!

[@leo0528]

but can it get to hot (the max 6 combo with 1650kv on 6s with a 22t pinion?) and does it has more power than the stock 2050kv setup?

[@yaffajaff]

@@leo0528 Any power system will get hot regardless of gearing if it's ran hard and consistently and in warmer weather. For me it's fine for average bashing! However I have the Scorched Parts fenders on mine which can block air flow, so I fitted a 40mm fan on the motor

[@markiobrown]

Perfect execution on a tutorial 👌🏻 I’ve just bought a second hand Mojave EXB and its got the HW Max8 2200Kv. Is this going to be a problem do think? I’m thinking of upgrading to a max6🤔

[@TheRCNetwork]

Thanks buddy! It might be a bit under powered....keep an eye on the temps.....I ran that combo in an EXB Kraton and it did decently

[@maxcurry9667]

Just a side note on the esc install. You can trace the bottom of the esc onto a thin piece of paper. Then flip the esc over and use the square you just cut out to poke holes through the paper where the mounting holes are on the bottom of the esc. Then use the paper to locate the position of the esc onto the esc mounting plate and mark where the holes are. Then drill the holes. Now you can mount the esc with screws. Feel free to use some double sided tape in there as well. This holds up better than just tape itself. Double side note. The supplied plastic esc mount is pretty weak and breaks easy. Get the m2c mount.

[@TheRCNetwork]

Good tip!

[@ETAI106]

Great video 👍👍 Which Motor Pinion have you drooped in her?..

[@TheRCNetwork]

I believe I up'd it to a 22t now for the running video. The included pinion is likely for 8s/higher kv motor. It was sluggish on 6s

[@RcOffroad9513]

I used to test mesh on 1/8 buggy by sound and feel, but I always went too loose and would get excessive wear on the pinion, I have stopped that method and use the paper trick. I haven't had any mesh issues since. Or heavy wear like I've seen so many times. That mesh sounded loose to me, is it mod1 gearing?

[@TheRCNetwork]

Yep, Mod 1....and I agree, it can be easily set too loose......but it is a sound and feel that I use for setting mesh. Initially, the sound was loose....but when tightened down, you may have noticed the pitch of the "click" went down...meaning it tightened, just slightly

[@craigpoer]

Very cool build as always. How well does that motor handle 8s.? Do you think that set up is to much for that car would a max 8 be enough ?

[@TheRCNetwork]

Technically, HW says it's only 6s capable.....but that doesn't mean you can't run 8s with the right gearing. I'm running like a 22/23 right now on 6s, so when I try 8s, I'll likely drop to a 14/15t and watch the temps

[@robertsoltesz2211]

Hi, great vid. Does this ESC works smart like when your truck is in stand still (and you have not used the brake before) you press the throttle forward to initiate reverse then you do not have to do it twice: first brake then reverse but it does it for the first press knowing that as the vehicle is stopped no need for braking? Thanks!

[@TheRCNetwork]

Yeah, as long as you go past center on the throttle it will engage the brake. Of course braking power can be controlled via the program card. You can also activate drag brake to instantly engage a slight brake when you take your finger off the throttle. Many racers use this to slow down in turns

[@leo0528]

Cool Video and useful too! But i wanna buy the new Kraton exb... but im unsure if i just go with the stock 2050kv engine like in the stock kraton or the max6 combo with 1650. Does the Max 6 combo got more Power than the stock 2050kv one? (i would drive on 6s)

[@TheRCNetwork]

The Max 6 has the grit needed to move that nearly 20lbs truck. The stock 2050 is decent, but I think the Max 6 has an advantage....especially the 1650kv on 6s. you'll have a ton of bottom end torque

[@benszozda5280]

i am running max 6 with 4985 motor on 20t pinion...the car is a beast but i am having issues with rear differential gears...just ordered hardened set on ebay and hope it will solve the issue

[@22Phanatic]

Nice work Rich! How would this system compare to the stock Spektrum in the std Mojave?

[@TheRCNetwork]

I think it's a step above - as with all of their EZRun systems, they usually have a slight advantage over stock electronics....but I'd be curious if the Spectrum system isn't already made by Hobbywing though

[@fishnrc294]

I have a new Max 8 n my Fireteam & it’s installed just like yours but no matter what I do I get no response when connected to a battery. My guess is it’s the receiver which is the original with Stock Spectrum controller not bound to the new esc. It’s just been sitting.

Likely the receiver/radio. You may want to re-bind the receiver to the radio, then check all receiver wires (one to turn, two to burn) along with polarity.

Hi Richard, I have just built my Mojave using the exact same setup except with a Futaba 4PM. When I try to set up the ESC I can get one beep for neutral but nothing after thar. Strangely when I turn the steering it gives me 2 beeps and hen I ditch off ad on again the steering controls the throttle! Every time I go back into programming mode the same happens! Any ideas? Thanks Colin

[@TheRCNetwork]

Hey - I'd clear out that current model's memory and start over. First bind the receiver to the radio, then calibrate the ESC to the radio. Make sure you have the receiver wires plugged in (polarity wise) correct and channel one for steering and channel two for throttle. If no tones for throttle again, you can try reversing channel 2.

I would never put thread locker on the motor plate .. you will be drilling those out as heating it wont work if you plan on using the motor in another rc car / truck.

False. I, more than most transfer motors from RC to RC, constantly. I always use a small amount of blue thread lock, a sharp MIP driver and have never had an issue. Ever.
