My Zip Zap SE ,with kyosho inside.

Well the SE went to the shop today and after a little modding of the motor bay I got a super slick high speed motor installed. With using the green geared axle and the red pinion from the ss upgrade kit it meshes with the axle gear directly. No more intermediate gear (no more loud gear noise). It has a little less punch from a dead stop but almost double the top end. It is stupid fast now and has almost zero rolling resistance. I did have to reroute my antenna since the motor is longer and was in the way. A must do for any motor head.... Let me know what you think pimps!!!

Cool, you're the first one I've seen, besides me, to cram a Super Slick motor into a 1/64th RC. They're really not too hard to get in there. Just gotta open up the end of the chassis.

Nice work going direct drive. I considered that, but just opted to go with KIT Racer gears. Have calculated the gear ratio yet?

Hey crazydave, Your right its not hard and the power they produce is much better then any stock sized motor I have tried.

I am glad you asked me that, I never thought to get the gear ratio. I believe the pinion is a 9 tooth, and whatever a green zz axle is. I am at school right now and the car is at the hizouse, I will get back to you one that one later...

Edit: After getting home I counted and the green axle is a 23T and the pinion is a 9T so the ratio would be 2.56:1 (actually 2.555555555555556:1 but I rounded it off).

Do you have the stock fets? I would think some better fets would give more tourqe making this thing a poket rocket!

The fets I am using are not the stock fets that came with the pcb (removed all of them way back when I though the pcb was fried), but the steering fets are stock xmod steering fets and the drive motor fets are stock xmod drive motor fets (have a couple bad xmod pcb's I got from ratshack). I will be doing a 2x3 stack of SI4562DY's in the near future. Even though they are stock xmod fets I believe they are a little better then what comes stock on a mr01 pcb.

I can't see any of the pics, I'm coming in late so maybe they've been deleted or the site's just down.
Either way, you got gallery priviliages now sat4life27.

Thats awesome CaboWabo thanks pimp, The hosting site I was using (picture trail) deleted my account today. I was looking into seeing about the gallery and was going to shoot you a email. I will upload them and fix the links on my posts. Thanks again man...

Edit: I seem to be doing something wrong, I get the pics uploaded fine but when I go to place them (fill out the info for the pic) it tells me previous file could not be placed. Its got me baffled...

The problem was on my end. Try again - you should be golden now pony boy.

Grassy ass me amigo...

speaking of pony I picked up a red gt500 SE today for half price (wifes friend is a manager

). Its funny because my wife hates RS for all the money I spend there but her best friend works there. Works for me though.

i have a question regarding the servo wiring.
you say that the addition of a 10k resistor makes the stock servo work. where do you add the resistor? to one of the wires going to the pot?

Here is a pic of the contacts I bridged with a 10k carbon film resistor or you can bridge the 2 contacts on the pcb were the wires attach with a surface mount if you have one.

so am i correct in assuming that the 2 terminals you circled are the ones that the wires attach to? and does the left terminal just remain free?

You are correct. Nothing will go to the left one.

excellent, thanks for clearing that up for me. and screw you for making me fork out for another iwaver pcb!
