Hong Nor X1 CRT!

[DonovanP]

My latest conversion.Let me know what you think!

Running 80amp EZrun combo with 3665 2300kv motor.Using Intellect 4600mah 20c lipo's..Had all of this in my e-savage and was just to powerful and got fed up with snapping shafts and diffs.E-savage RTR was round 4.45kg and the truggy is just over 4.3kg.So its light!In my e-savage with this setup temps was round 50-80deg F on ESC and 70-100 deg F on the motor depending on conditions and air temp.So it ran nice and cool so should work just fine here!

On to the pics.

Thanks man,

[Aero007]

'hong nor' brand or such, they have some identical parts to afair ofna ? btw is that a 62t diff ?

[E-Savy_UK]

Hong nor and hoboa brands = Ofna and Jammin Brands

Donovan - looks sweet dude.

[DonovanP]

Thanks guy's..

Yes 62t spur gear!

Ran it an its just amazing!Handel so well.Center diff just need thicker fluid.If you stomp the throttle it will rev like crazy and then get traction.So rpm is always high on motor..What bothers me is the temps.

Motor = 130-150deg F after about 20 mins
ESC = 110 deg F all the time
Lipo's between 90-110deg f..

Now is that temps to high?Never got that hot in my e-savage.Can it be the center diff?Causing the rpm to run high all the time due to traction?Or geared to low?Maybe go one pinion size bigger?If the temps is fine let me know because I don't want to burn something.

[E-Savy_UK]

they seem a little on the high side to me. ttry the thicker oil in the diff and then gear up to see if it helps. if you can, try and ger another center diff so you can swap back to original if it doen't work.

[DonovanP]

They never got this hot in the e-savage thats heavier than the truggy.Think its because of no loading or not enough load because of the center diff.Have 30K in there right now.Will grease be tighter than the 30K silicone fluid?

[E-Savy_UK]

yah, grease is a lot thicker. like putting in 150K wt in

[DonovanP]

But will the grease give same resistance compared to the stick diff fluid?Might pack it tight with grease and see.What a about vaseline?lol
