Red and Black Take A Power-Motive Step Up



Since the guts are starting to blow out of the Propulse motors I decided it was time to upgrade the power plants in Red and Black. Seemed like a good time to do it since I was installing fresh spur gears and bearings. Upgrading to these motors also demands an upgrade to the wiring and power sources as well.. Deans Ultra Plugs and Intellect 1400's.



Red is now outfitted with a Trinity TRM995 Modified Mini Machine. Short can, super high RPMs..



Black is stuffed with a Reedy 290 Mini-MAX Modified Motor. Long can, lots of torque combined with high RPMs..



Also as mentioned, both have been upgraded with Dean Ultra's and Intellect's. The gear set for both is 13T pinion/54T Spur, providing a nice off-road/loose surface low gear ratio of 4.15:1

(Hey Megatech!! Better be stocking Tower Hobbies with pinions, spurs, bearings and Diffs real soon.. )

These guys are ready to rock and rock hard..



..cheers
