Latrax Prerunner GoolRC 4800KV Brushless Motor and ESC Upgrade - Burned Out Brushed Motor Replace
Рет қаралды 37,988
3 жыл бұрынAfter my stock Latrax brushed motor burned out, it was time for a budget friendly upgrade and see what kind of speeds I can get out of the brushed motor along with the 14T/54T pinion gear and spur gear change.

I bought this one for my son and I got myself the Teton one, so we could have something to do together. I honestly thought I was getting him the best of the two. But the tires on this one suck compared to the Tetons tires. The Teton goes through wet tall grass, snow, mud and rocks. The Prerunner gets stuck in wet grass, snow and gravel. I think they are the same besides the tires, so that has to be the problem. I think I'm gonna order Teton tires for him and trim the car body. They are taller and wider.
@ReadytoRunRC Жыл бұрын
The Teton does have the height to help it through the grass. All 3 Latrax are almost exactly the same. The Teton and Rally share the same chassis, drive train and suspension arms. The PreRunner Chassis is a little longer than the Teton and Rally which means the center drive shaft is longer and the chassis top brace as well. I only got this one because my suscribers voted this one over the others when I hit 1K subs. I would've gotten the Teton too because of the clearance with the bigger and wider tires.

I used this GoolRC 2435 but mated to a Velineon VXL-3M esc. it's actually the exact same size as the stock esc and fits right in. I believe that's the brushless esc upgrade option for the 1/16 slash. iirc it's a 52a esc and the goolrc is 30a so the goolrc motor mated to that esc does get kind of hot. worth getting a heatsink. but man it gets stupid torque and acceleration, nuts for something so small

I made the drivetrain have a lot of resistance with thick, grade 3 open gear grease. Shimmed the diffs really tight too. Both the input/pinions and ring gears on both sides. No slop at ALL. It came with all metal diffs right out of the box. Hot Racing 60T spur with Latrax 14T pinion, and coated those with the same grease. It has some moly in it too. Like black, shimmering tar. It's a Teton. Hopefully, the cold Michigan winter will keep the electronics cool until I think about a bigger ESC for a cheap 2445 size 5400kv motor that I already have laying around for next year.

ever run it on 3s? wonder how long the esc would take it
@ReadytoRunRC Жыл бұрын
I haven’t run this one on 3S but I did just do a build with this same esc on my Jubatus B416 buggy and ran that on 3S with a 2445 5400kv motor. The motor gets pretty hot but the esc handled it.

Unless you are not in the US. That’s the only thing I can think of. If you want another battery instead of those just search 2S lipo 2200 Mah and compare the dimensions of the batteries that come up in your search with the battery that I used. most of them are pretty similar in size if they are the same Mah.

@@ReadytoRunRC Did you have any issues with the pinion gear meshing? I found that my stock 14T pinion would not mesh with my .5 MOD Hot Racing spur gear. Apparently the stock 48 Pitch Pinion gear is like .529 MOD so it's super crunchy. I have ordered a confirmed 2mm/.5 MOD/14T pinion gear now that should work, but I was just curious to see if you've had similar issues. I know that's a lot of technical BS, but your video is the reason why I'm sitting here with a Hot Racing Spur and a Lipo/Brushless setup now 🤣

@@anotherpewtertahoe I have not noticed any issue but that could’ve been my own ignorance too. I never noticed it run like there was any issue though. If it was clearly grinding the gears or just seemed like it was binding up I would’ve never kept running it either. There was no overheating issues or anything that would’ve been obvious. Didn’t realize they were just an ever so slight difference in the mod. Glad you were able to find something that better meshes with the spur gear. What pinion did you end up finding?

@@ReadytoRunRC I ordered a Robinson Racing 2mm/.5MOD/14T Pinion, and it arrived today. The hyper-annoying part? The pinion gear is literally out of round right out of the box. You can watch it spin out of round, and the mesh goes tight, loose, tight, loose, etc. If you take the grub screw out, and free spin it on the motor, you can still watch it move left, right, and so on. Ugh. So in theory, the setup I've got should work great, if I can just get all the parts to either be compatible as they arrive, or not arrive DOA.

This is not easy and things like the metal piece on the motor need to be removed so the gears line up. "Just play in reverse" HA! How do you do that? Trust me this does not come apart as easily as the video alleges.
