434 - A Song For Billy Ray: A Quick Check

 

During the shakedown I've noticed that the LRP that powers my Blitzer felt a little hot so I've checked if the pinion is the 13t recomended for faster motors.

The installed pinion is a Carson one made out of steel as a straight copy of the Tamiya made out of aluminum: it's roughly machined and, as the rust on its surface witness, without any treatment.

So the day for the first run has came! I've used the battery charged a week before without repeaking but the result have been pretty satisfying. Maybe it needs a thicker grease for the differential and I have to check if the 13t pinion is installed (motor was a little hot).

432 - A Song For Billy Ray: Quick Forming Charge

 

I've found the time to give to the Carson power pack I've bought for the Billy Ray project a quick forming charge of 0,6mAh. I hope to be able to do the radio set up in the next days and so I will do a short shake down to understand if the choosen motor is quick enough.
