Hi Matteo, I have a suggestion for you. I noticed that my TRX-6 struggles to climb over some small obstacles with only the front differential locked, whereas my TRX-4 can easily climb over the same small obstacles. I determined this is because the rear of the TRX-6 has nearly the same weight as the rear of the TRX-4, but that weight is supported by 4 tires instead of 2, which prevents the 4 rear tires on the TRX-6 from "digging in" to get enough grip, and the rear tires slip more easily. I want my TRX-6 to have the same performance as my TRX-4 without requiring all of the differentials to be locked, so I disassembled the middle differential, washed all the components, filled the middle differential with Tamiya Anti-Wear Grease (very thick and sticky), and reinstalled the middle differential. Now the middle differential has a strong "limited slip" action, which enables my TRX-6 to drive the same as my TRX-4 without requiring me to keep the TRX-6's differentials locked all the time.

I got the same color. :) I am also considering the XeRun Axe motor system, but if I get that motor I will probably get the 540 version, because even the 540 version is much more powerful than any brushed motor. However, I really like brushed motors for some strange reason, so I am also considering a Holmes Hobbies CrawlMaster Pro motor. It has a 5-pole armature instead of the normal 3-pole design, so it should run better at low speeds instead of overheating at low speeds as a 3-pole brushed motor might do. Also, you should get the Traxxas overdrive gear for the front differential. It will improve the turning radius on such a long truck.

@Matteomeier

4 жыл бұрын

Thanks Shawn for all your good comments! Yes, brushed motors have also advantages. I have in one crawler also the Crawlmaster Pro. But in my opinion one disatvantage is they need more maintenance. After wet, muddy runs often the brushes are sticked and the motor have to be disasembled and well cleaned.

@deusexaethera

4 жыл бұрын

@@Matteomeier: Mud and saltwater are certainly a problem for brushed motors, but I haven't had any problems with clean water. I use Boca Yellow Seal bearings in my motors, so the bearings won't rust, and I use Reedy Plutonium brushes in motors that sometimes get wet. They are very hard brushes and they last a long time. But yes, brushless motors are definitely easier and lower maintenance. 😊 I still recommend installing Boca Yellow Seal bearings in brushless motors, though. They last much longer than plain steel bearings.
