I ordered a Danchee Ridgerock for myself for Christmas, but it was on back order so I kept shoppin. I found an Axial 24 on sale and ordered it before finding out an hour later the Danchee shipped (oops?). Told wife we could return the Danchee, or give it to my son in law, but my wife decided to give it to my daughter( for me to build, and play with?) winning!! I was considering a 2 speed trans, but this has me thinking Buzzsaw will add that versatility, and save a Chanel for 4 wheel steer.

Yeah I’m with you the 50 torque beast, well as always appreciate you sharing until next time peace and chicken grease 😁👍😎

I would have made the same choice out of those motors. I'm loving the Injora Pro 50 it's a great little motor, loads of easy to control torque and enough wheel speed to bump up obstacles!

Do the larger/longer motors besides speed and torque add any additional weight or ballast? Gorgeous rig.

@CapeCrawlers

Жыл бұрын

They do add weight, mainly because its just more metal material in the chassis. Because of the positioning, the bigger 050 motors may provide some benefits, but the distribution is skewed a little further back than you would normally want.

I just bought the scx24 gladiator and have the rcawd portal axles on the way. Plus I have the swamp king tires. Would the buzzsaw motor work with that well or is the torque beast 50 be better overall? I just don’t want to snap a axle lol

@CapeCrawlers

Жыл бұрын

It depends on what you like to do. The buzzsaw is surprisingly versatile but doesnt have the low end torque or controllable power delivery that the torque beast does. Neither of them have axle breaking power, so I wouldnt sweat that. Driving style will break axles before the motors do.

Can you help explain what the different options are when choosing the mofo motors I see they sell it as motor only then mod3 , mod 5 , then a platinum mod 3 and platinum mod 5. What’s the difference. What one did you use ? Thanks awesome videos

@CapeCrawlers

Жыл бұрын

I will do my best! Platinum motors are the newest ones. I think he improved the internals of the motor for more power and better longevity. Also gave them a new colored case. Mod 3 uses a pinion gear that fits stock transmission gears, so a direct bolt on with no additional mods. Mod 5 uses a different pitch on the pinon gear and meshes with an upgraded spur gear on the transmission. I am using newer motors (some are 2.0, others are 3.0) and mod 3.

what size pinion did it have mod.3 11t ot Mod. 5 8t

It would be a great comparison. I think the comp rig is more capable right now; it is very impressive. However, it is under-powered and outclassed by the furitek system in the Ultra. I started the comp rig before I got my hands on the Ultra24. Otherwise I probably would have just done one. But I also was itching to do a completely custom build, body and all.

@@CapeCrawlers … they are both awesome but the Ultra24 really stands out. I thought it was interesting to hear you say that you wish you’d gone with the 3D printed LGRP axles. Surprised me! Everyone is always trying to go aluminum/metal/brass and I’ve often wondered if the 3D printed would be more weight reduction and give you more control over where you target your weight placement? 🤔 I just finished my Injora buggy (waiting on the lizard ultimate) and thinking about the next project. I really like the “Jeep” body LGRP has too.
