I incorrectly called where the spur gear mounts a slipper clutch. That came from watching an older Traxxas video showing this spur gear change for the 6S Xmaxx. This 8s Xmaxx has the cush drive, so there is no slipper clutch...

Just did this. Ran great for about 30min, then shredded the spur and pinion gear DUE TO THE PIN SYSTEM. Pin system is too tight with this ratio. Ditch the pin system, and use a piece of paper to measure and space the gears. GREAT VIDEO!!

@domesticcardetailing82953 жыл бұрын
You don’t grease them gears as that attracts sand and dirt into the gears trust me if you run in sand it will stick to it and grind them up. The covers on them don’t keep dirt out that’s why you don’t tease them. Only greases the other gears like front rear centre diffs

Cool vids! What about installing a 15t or 16t pinion with the 54t spur to pick up speed and would I lose acceleration on that gearing install? Reason havent found any videos about 16t pinion and 54t spur online or youtube, proably make good video or it's not possible to do that configuration. Thx not sure but asking!

Is it true that on new 8S xmaxxes this gear helps to avoid stripping diffs? (I guess as it is faster it has less torque) Good vid btw
@chilly72613 жыл бұрын
Thanks. I suppose higher gearing means less torque. What I avoid is landing with throttle on. I think that's the number one gear stripper. Regardless of gear ratio, that sudden stop under power is a gear killer. With no throttle you're only stopping freewheeling tires and gear train...
