RC18 540 1/10th scale motor mount
Working On a 540 Motor Mount for the RC18
The problem I'm having is the Pinion gear is really far from the spur gear.. So I need a big Pinion gear... here are some pics http://www.rccrashzone.com/rcz_pics/...8/540rc18a.jpg http://www.rccrashzone.com/rcz_pics/...8/540rc18b.jpg http://www.rccrashzone.com/rcz_pics/...8/540rc18c.jpg |
so far looking good man....you might need to move the motor or make the mount adjustable to meet the pinion......that or try another pinion.
|
Yup the problem I'm having right now is the biggest pinnion gear I could find with a 48 pitch was a 36 tooth. The spur I'm using now is a 60t and the two gears are still very far apart. I will need to redo or rethink the mount
|
You can cut a small section away from the upperdeck and see if your able to slide the motor in some.......
|
Thanks for the suggestion
If a 47 tooth pinion gear is still too small I might need to cut the upper deck like you suggested. I just ordered these... Some one sent me a link yesterday Robinson Racing Pinion Gear 47 tooth 48 pitch http://www.rccrashzone.com/rcz_pics/...C18/RR4748.jpg Wonder how fast it's gonna be with the gear to motor speed ratio. |
Its going to be fast......considering that i have a 540 micro rs4 that will only go straight....lol.
|
Ok so I got the pinion gear and spur gear to mesh.
I switch out the motor from the traxxas stinger motor to the Kyosho 540 G20. The 540 1:10th scale motor is mounted on the rc18 and ready to go Here is a pic more pics coming soon. http://rccrashzone.com/rcz_pics/RCCZ...8/540RC18g.jpg |
So far looking good man....have you had a chance for a test run.:D

You might need to download Quicktime....and restart your puter.......you might also want to let the vid load up first.
