Completely agree here. I run 3s, and am running a mostly stock Rally. Only mods are an Integy Motor Heat Sink, and Traxxas ESC cooling fan. Everything, including gearing is stock out of the box. I...

YES. I used the TRA5727x strut with the stock Traxxas bearings and they lasted about 3 runs, before i sheered the prop and destroy the motor and strut bearings. I then replaced them with Boca...

I have Boca Bearings installed in my Leopard 4082 1600kv - Ceramic Hybrid bearings (Orange Seal), and the same bearings in my TRA5727X (this is the optional Traxxas Spartan Strut that comes with blue...

Does the motor plate fit?

The double plate will fit, aluminum shoes are recommended by Traxxas with use of the mamba max motor, however HR carbon pads might work since the design is for an ERevo.

Thank You!

So which Tekno M6's will fit a stock traxxas rally? Looking to upgrade, but not go the GT8 way, want to keep this for off road use.

Mitch,

You have inspired me to do my own rally build, but i have a couple questions, why did you chose to use X0-1 parts as opposed to the Traxxas Accessories parts available for the Rally? The...

Yep, me too. God and I just got back into another spartan build.

Funrcboats.com get the XL size tubing.

I firgured as much, that any cutting done to the tube would in some way deform the shape of the tube at that end. I have an idea tho, what about taking the tube, and using the liner and flex cable to...

Reglar: I understand everything except how you made the heat sinks. By your drawings I don't see how you actually constructed the heat sink hardware, not saying you didn't, i believe you, I just...

One suggestion: I see a benefit in running separate cooling lines for the heat sinks, ESC, and motor. by the time the water reaches the ESC and motor, the water has already been heated, so cooling is...

I still have yet to exceed 103/104 degrees F on my Seaking and my Leopard 4082 - in fact both are usually within one degree of each other and this is running hard in the atlantic ocean on 6s. Batts...

Really? Couldn't you have gotten the same from a Seaking, run half the lines, and never worry if you will melt the caps or ESC? Needless to say, your setup is sick. I like it complexity, yet it's...

That x447 is going to give you more torque roll. For me, I still have yet to fully open up my Spartan with that prop, it's insane because in a turn, if I floor the throttle, the boat will literally...

Yeh, but does this bending allow the tube to remain circular through out the entire tube including the bend, or is their potential for ovalling or kinking the tube? I want it mandrel bent style so i...

Where did you get the magnetic balancer, Hog?

No, but i am now very curious. I run a x447, aren't "m" variants triple blade props? Can you post a pic?

Upgrading to a .187 driveline, was wondering what's the angle, or degree of bend the stuffing tube has from the factory for the Spartan, as the tube nears the transom? I also need to know its...

Torque roll is essentially centrifugal force moving the boat in the direction the prop is turning. I notice this does get worse with larger props. The best way to eliminate this would to put a...

Btw: does anyone know the metal rating for the Spartan; i.e, 7075? I'm betting it's a high number indicating a more inferior hardware.

Stainless just means it won't rust as fast. I have gear all over my Yellowfin, and after six years you would not believe me If you saw the condition some of my hardware is in; though kept in dry...
