I've put 2.8 proline swampers on mine for general bashing and upped the pinion on stock motor, esc. That in combination with vitavon case and tekno shafts in the front has actually let me start to enjoy the truck.
Hi. I have an old losi scte 1.0 it has mode 1 gears. It makes a loud grinding noise but no where near as loud as yours. I think the noise is from the mode 1 gears. Like the truck. It was fun at the track and almost never breaks.
@@thomasthetankengine7153 ive had this for about a month now and had 0 issues...i changed out the steering linkage but it never broke, just wanted a tighter steering link. Love this little buggy. its all in how you drive it too
Glad you did that test. I have a brand new Mamba I was holding for the right build to come along. I'm thinking about doing an esc swap on my Infraction after seeing your results. The motor is limited to 6s, but it might reduce the initial cogging.
Man, the minute I got my Senton 3s, I learned I do NOT like sensorless! Adjusting the punch control from stock setting on the BLX esc definitely helped, but eventually if I want to keep working towards racing it, or turning it into a drag car, sensored power will make its way in.
What wing mount and wing did you use . It looks better with wing . I don't like the tire hanging off the back of mine but looks better than nothing back there .
Lol, imagine pulling the trigger and not having immediate reaction from the motor. These motors use magnets, and in an uncensored brushless, the magnets may not be lined up for immediate reaction to the throttle (it's rotating in search for the magnets), whereas a sensored brushless motor knows where the magnets are and has immediate reaction. Senosred are great for crawling, when you need to it to move in a precarious position. Sensorless could have you rolling backwards if you are in the middle or already started your climb but stopped to check positioning.
@@Flupke76 correct since when your bashing you usually go for a bit more throttle when taking off than a crawler normally the instant amount of power can kick it to the next phase quick enough no cog is seen. This is what I suspect is the reason such a diffrence was made. The castle esc has more power delivery capability and is able to supply the motor more juice initiallu.
I've just bought a Losi db tenacity and running on 2s it cogs a little bit forward but reverse it barely moves cogging it backwards really slow can anyone help to what may be happing and anyway I could make it a bit smoother
HOW ARE THE WHEEL HEX STRIPPING? Junk plastic? I had my hopes up for this car. I did by the techno shafts. Per your suggestion. That motor is toasted! Found your cogging issue! Did the stock system fail?
weak plastic, the proline sandpaw hexes are holding up great. The Tekno shafts are a great upgrade and lower cost than vitavon like in this video. The stock system works but the cogging is such an annoying thing.
Nice Video Brother! I'd be happy to see the Spectrum motor taken apart vs say another Hobbywing or Castle motor.... I have my suspicions that's it exactly the same as my 4 or 6 slot fuse… I was so mad at those motors I legit gave them away free. Went with the non-sensored HW Max8 kit and was blown away at low and high end capability myself.
One hot momma was there thermal shut down on or off ,, did you set that up ,, what would be the ideal temperature for a hard run and what temperature should you stop at . Like my 6s arrma Kraton v 100c I cool it at like 188 187 for a minute or three 😄 KILLER video
You're right that's not the right motor for the LN. Not nearly the torque of the stock 1900kv. Keep messing with the Lasernut!!! I'm looking forward to you finding the right combo for it 👍
@@ExocagedRC for sure! It's cool how much an esc can make a difference. So I found this esc that everyone talks shit about the surpass hobby 150a esc and off course my traxxas esc blew so I thought hey 60 bucks I'll try it. So I put this surpass esc in my Tekno and I kept the same 2000kv motor and I can literally crawl with no coughing what so everi can't believe it. It came with a program card so I turned up the punch and the bec and ect ect and my Tekno is running better than it ever has and I've ran it for about two months now not one issue or failure and I love how I can crawl if I want it feels like a sensored system. And the esc has a huge turbo fan it never even gets hot. I dunno why nobody uses these escs I guess your not cool if you only pay 60 bucks for an esc but I love it never had one issue and it runs better and cooler than my traxxas 6s esc did.
OH NO! I bought this car, and I’ve been careful not to buy cars lately that need tons of work out of the box. Drove my lazernut 1 time bent a front axle with easy to medium driving. I CRINGE WHEN YOU HAVE MORE PROBLEMS WITH IT!
SpeedSyko I've had a lot of issues with the Lasernut, Luckily Vitavon rear bulkhead fixed a bunch along with their axles, I ad Tekno axles that worked great as well but require a bit of mod. Joseph Miller, I love the Wendigo as its tough as nails but the steering leaves a lot to be desired for sure
@@ExocagedRC yeah they major problem with the wendigo is in the knuckle design I even tried grinding the hubs for more clearance but could not even tell the difference from that a whole front axle design needs to be rethought out because even aftermarket pieces can't fix the turning radius

I hope they come out with a v2 of this rig and address all the issues with it.
I've been wanting this RC really would love to buy it but been worried about the problems so many are having but if a V2 came I'd buy it for sure

Did you swap the infraction esc and gearing too🤔😎
@@gonzodetroitify No I'm still stock everything. Put the mamba x in a Tamiya tt02 of all things.
I have the losi laser that's for you and I lost my reverse after I put my GPS sipping my remote control how do I get my?
Man I just watched the new proline Mamba tires video, they mentioned you on that video, congratulations that's amazing 👏 👏👏
Thanks man!

Just wondering did you run it on 2 or 3s before adjusting and are you still having issues cogging after turning up the punch
I just took the stock esc out of my Scx24 and replaced it with a micro x I had laying around. It made a huge difference on a brushed motor.
Damn wish I had mamba just laying around 🤭 rn mine is in the shop awaiting esc. 😩
I have no personal experience with spektrum stuff and prolly never will. Ive always been a castle guy as far as esc.
What wing mount and wing did you use . It looks better with wing . I don't like the tire hanging off the back of mine but looks better than nothing back there .
it was for the ten T I think. its been a while since I put it on
Dry Grass has way more traction than many think.
Wow. That motor really got hot!
LOL yeah it sure did!
Still trying to figure out what cogging is...

Look and listen to 2:50 in for visual of cogging also together with what TRKISH234 wrote I hope this helps😎
@@TRKISH324 Thanks. That makes sense. So in a basher or racer it's not really a big deal?

Kind of surprising that the ESC made that much of a difference in cogging. Was definitely smoother looking and sounding with the swap.
Yeah at first I didn’t think it would make much but it sure did.
I put my mamba monster 2 esc in my lmt with stock motor and way better almost felt like a sensored system and I like it better then the spectrum esc
Would a heat sink help with the motor keeping it cooler?
Do you have a review of the stock lasernut? Im looking at picking one up.
LMT 2s/3s rated on the motor, only the esc is rated 4s, same as the db pro from what I recall.
So did the Castle ESC fry 11:27 the motor ??? 🤦♂️
No it still works. It was hot for sure.

Went with the non-sensored HW Max8 kit and was blown away at low and high end capability myself.
I was able to fit a heat sink and 40x28 fan on the motor. I Velcro/zip tie a 1300mah 3s battery to the center brace to power it
i went to beadlocks. vanquish 850s hub extenders in the front and 725s in the rear.
Dropping a tooth or two in the Pinion helps too

Great comparison glad to find out through your Video about the lmt motor ✌️🤠👍 HFLPRCing 👍😎👍 AOAH 🌟 RCF4L 🙏 SSPH
Wow that bronze has really come off that rear left wheel? Unless you have removed it for some other reason? 😊
acetone
yep acetone just washed it off like it wasn't there.
What about gearing....cogging and temps would improve. In your vid it looked like you never hit half throttle.
Do you have any udr upgrades laying around I could buy from you I watch all your videos
All my upgrades are on the truck
@@ExocagedRC I thought you might still have the v1 rear axle
You should lower timing to 0 and check cogging 👍
I thought about that as it does make startup smoother, but it was still way better than adjusted

I did the same thing with the Redcat Wendigo cool in videos but has the turning radius of a dump truck and no way to fix it I sold it and bought a udr

@@legendary_perfomance oh no, should I just sell it while I’m ahead? Still is new, ran it once. Bent drive shaft on a small jump landing perfect.
The LN is such an under-engineered mess. So glad I sold mine
Yah know people said that about the rock Rey and I can say they are wrong. I’ve heard the same about the laser nut, I’m gonna assume you’re wrong too
1st now!
Love the "fat man chasing a donut!!!" 👋👋👋
lol its an awesome donut!!!
Sounds like crap bearings?
ESC can make as much or MORE difference than a motor. Motor is useless without the proper esc to power iy
Man that thing looks like it sucks as much as my 1/10 rock Rey did
Laser nut👎
Yuck. Sounds like a coffee grinder.
LoL yeah that pinion isn’t happy at all
