Here's the video:

Quick 30 second video.

Thanks Texan, Fieldfairy2, and C1v1c for helping me with the gearbox!

[c1v1c]

No problem!
Tires looks like it crawls good! even with unlocked diff:O thats pretty badass!

cool it just went right over, now i really wish i had a crwler...or any xmod

[fieldfairy2]

Is that video with the s2 motor? that is faster than any of are gearboxes(i think?) because of the s2. I might try ptting a spiral hand wound arm in it with 45-50 turns. Really nice. keep it up.

Um... I'm not sure... But at least I won't worry about the motor dying on me like in my HS-55.

I am going to try a different armerature. THe motor doesn't burn out. You will need carbon brushes and neo's

The S2 works just swell for me... Why do I need carbon brushes and neos?

[fieldfairy2]

it would be a good idea for brushes but neo's arn't really needed but will help a lot. Looks good though. just tryin to help

[xmodificationer]

ahh!! I can't wait to get my gearbox!

[taiwanesekid05]

Just wondering, is it ok that I greased my gearbox with petroleum jelly?

[fieldfairy2]

I can't answer that question haven't tried it. i have used olive oil(let gears sit in it for a while) and vasaline. THey both work well. Keep us updated

Just use the stock arm, the spiral does give off some torque due to the larger poles, but it also increases speed, due to more laminations.
Stock arms would be best.

It would be funny if someone put that hyper-torque 180 in a gearbox

[Titantaw12]

Nice Titan. I like the lift.

[fieldfairy2]

We might have to try the 180!!! just joking. Some speed on the crawler is good. I want mine to be a bit faster with the same or more torque. Any ideas on how to?

chinesekid05: if the gearbox works with patroleum jelly than it should be fine

[c1v1c]

180 motor dosent work i tried already aha:P

[fieldfairy2]

c1v1c: we can make it work. cut the gearbox and some duct tape =D!!!

I'm not sure if you know this, but Vasiline and Pertroleum Jelly are the same thing... Greasy and helps extremely dry skin

[fieldfairy2]

opps. I had a feeling they were the same thing. than patroleum jelly/vasaline will work.=D Looks good though
