I love this trick! Such a RAD build! Bunch of ppl heading out to deer creek tomorrow morning at 7am to crawl before the heat hits if you're interested!
I remember the days I tested my ESCs, on my truggies I always had them geared for 40+ MPH and nothing got really hot. There used to be a lot of great info on a forum rc-monster used to have. There were plenty of people cooking their motors and they couldn't figure out. Some had under geared their motor and it cooked and binding somewhere could've been the issue. Others would gear their motor to the moon trying to go 10000MPH lol and sometimes the motor would be warm and sometimes it would get cooked. Every time I read stuff like that I would try to replicate it just to see if the same would happen to my motors and it never did. The freakish motor I have is a 2 pole 540 motor I used on my Mugen Truggy and that motor survived when I was trying to kill it. I opened it just to see what kind of magic was inside it and it was just a simple slotless Hacker copy motor. Now you have a perfect motor to rewind though and maybe it'll be better than factory.
That thing seems to perform much better than I expected, i think the extra weight makes it drive much more stable compared to a regular slash. It seems a little back heavy because of the overflow tank, but it seems to fly pretty good!
Yeah it is really stable and gets better grip compared to a normal slash. The tank is pretty heavy but it's fairly well balanced overall. I am really happy with it, just gotta get a good motor in it
@@Hwy49RC yeah I figured the motor may not last very long since it has to move around a lot more weight. You might have to upgrade bigger than a 540 size. Maybe a Maxx motor
@@NOTTApro142 I'll have to do some looking around and see what I can find that would actually fit since there's so little space between the bottom of the water jacket and the chassis. Though I was thinking about making a water jacket that was like a pipe that slid over the motor with o-rings on both ends so the water would actually be in direct contact with the motor can
@@Hwy49RC there are also boat motors, those electric ones sometimes have a premade water jacket on the front the factory. I just dont know how much power they have

Very inventive
Hope everything is well Erika.
Could you use a marine brushless water jacket instead of coils for better heat transfer?
Siiiiick

Yes, and then no.
