[ripcurlboy15]

hello, i have a question, im buy on ebay a aluminium Spur gear (ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll­?ViewItem&item=290670746097&ss­PageName=ADME:L:OC:US:1123), but, this item This one spending the gears of the engine, you know if I have to change also this piece also?

[intellimouseFTW]

Hi, does the E10 really have that much potential? Because judging from the video it seems like you bought hopped-up parts for almost everything on the E10, and with that money you could get a even better belt-driven chassis like the TCX. Care to explain why you hopped-up your E10 so much?

[nik81818]

@intellimouseFTW im the kinda guy thatll hop up whatever i have so i did that with the e10 and it still wasnt the car i hoped it was so i now have a cyclone tc which is much better. so no the e10 does not have the potential. with the money i used to buy the e10 and all the hop ups it still wasnt enuf to buy the cyclone tc. i invested about $400 in the e10 and that about how much the tc cost. my opinion just buy a sprint 2 or cyclone

[stuffedx18]

Hey where you buy all of your aluminum parts from?

[nik81818]

@stuffedx18 there all yeah racing parts from rcmartDOTcom

[rx7devil210]

hey just wondering do you ever blow out your spur gear cause i always do? Was wondering if you have any suggestions for that?

[nik81818]

@rx7devil210 yes i used to but once u find the "sweet" spot for the gear mesh theyll last a bit longer

[zhixuangtr]

@rx7devil210 Change to an aluminium motor mount if u are still using plastic mounts,and to find the perfect gear mesh, place a strip of paper between the spur and pinion, push it to the max, roll the paper out,thats the perfect mesh.

[DiogoDC123]

have you had ANY issues with driveshaft assembly whatsoever with the upgraded motor or stock suspension?

[nik81818]

@DiogoDC123 yes the front driveshaft which is the shorter one did break on my but i upgraded it after that happened to an aluminum one. honestly this car is a cheap car and not made for the kinda power i had in it

[DiogoDC123]

@nik81818 thanks for the response i went with an hpi sprint lol

[ripcurlboy15]

you think to this combo is good? cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?­ViewItem&item=260921020016#ht_­3718wt_985

[nik81818]

@ripcurlboy15 thats the same combo i had in this car

[ripcurlboy15]

Thanks man!!!

[ripcurlboy15]

now, whats your motor, a brushless? what is the brand? 7T? and your speed control? 60A?

[nik81818]

@ripcurlboy15 read the description its a ezrun hobbywing brushless 9t combo i think the esc it a 60A but im not sure i do not have this car nemore

[ripcurlboy15]

please PLEASE, tell me what aluminum parts you used? i have a E10 to, and i want to tounning it, what motor used! and battery?

[zhixuangtr]

@ripcurlboy15 those aluminium parts should be by Yeah Racing, i got a couple of them on my E10 too



[ripcurlboy15]

@zhixuangtr thanks man

[dude179861]

or should i just get new batteries and leave them at that.???????????

Help me out

[dude179861]

i just got myself a used E10 with a ton of parts and a second chassis that i was able to put together with the help of my local hobby shop, this is my first time with a car. is the e10 worth it. i ask you because you have the thing decked out to the max. is it worth it to to deck them both out one drift and one (touring for the wife).

[NismoBao]

@dude179861 E10 has it's limitations. If you wan't to get competitive with it. Consider upgrading.

[nik81818]

@NismoBao agree if u want a good beginner car thats made well id go with the sprint 2. its a cheap car and good for drift or touring plus plenty of upgrades. if u can afford it i would suggest a cyclone tc thats what i got right now but its a very pricey car especially for a beginner but they do have lower models of the hot bodies cyclone and those r good car IMO

[clutchkickdrifter]

have you got the standard plastic 65t spur gear or the metal one?

[xXhunter47Xx]

Sooooo, metal drivetrain and whatnot?

[Dc5Juni0r]

Are some of these the upgrades from rcmart? I was thinking of getting a E10 as a starter car.

[nik81818]

@Dc5Juni0r ya its all from rcmart

[RideJerzz]

@nik81818 just ordered most of this stuff from rcmart lastnight..did shipping take very long ? and how about installation ? im a rc noob

[nik81818]

@RideJerzz took about 1-2 hours to install all of it being i had to take everything apart then put it back together

[RideJerzz]

@nik81818 thanks..was shipping slow?

[meatpotato5]

where do u get your parts?



[xxfoshizzlezxx]

How did you move the antenna to the back?

[nik81818]

@xxfoshizzlezxx the e10 u can setup in "drift" which is front motor or "race" which is rear motor this is setup for drift so the motor is in the front and the antenna is the stock mount just put in a diffferent hole

[xxfoshizzlezxx]

@nik81818 ah col thanks man

[phangles52]

You don't need the 32 teeth pinion gear mate... you loose the acceleration you need for drifting...

[nik81818]

@phangles52 I had to use the big pinion to help save the spur gear at the time bcuz I kept stripping em but I realized later my mesh was wrong. it was my first rc and I learned the importance of gear mesh now lol btw it still had plenty of accelleration for drifting

[wafflesforthewin]

hello sir, just to ask, is the universal dog bone smalller than the stock ones?

[nik81818]

@wafflesforthewin never compared the 2 but i did have to get the new cups for the diff cut the stock ones wouldnt work with the aftermarket dogbones

[wafflesforthewin]

@wafflesforthewin what cups did u bought?

[kevinonstenk]

So how much did ya payd for it till now?

[nik81818]

@kevinonstenk 200 for the aluminum, 200 for the car, 60 for the remote, 80 for the motor/esc. so prolly about 550-600 for everything cuz I also got little extras like wheels/tires. these prices r USD also

[ZAVACH1]

THANKS

[traxxasstampede71km]

dose your motor get really hot?

[nik81818]

@traxxasstampede71km ya it got over 200 degrees

[traxxasstampede71km]

@nik81818 mine got so hot i tuched it an it burnd my hand and it was -30 were i was running it! :(

[Bloomhighschool]

@traxxasstampede71km any motor gets hot, it depends on how hard you accelerate with it. and the type of weather your running it in, if in the winter it wont get hot, but summer you will overheat.

[nik81818]

@Bloomhighschool true its mainly the gearing and if u go full throttle alot. i had this car when i was a noob and i didnt know bout the gearing i had the stock spur with a 30t pinion and it ran really hot. also i had an 8000mah battery so i would normally run it for about an hour straight and that gets it hot also now i stick to aroun 5000mah so my car get a break in between packs

[ZAVACH1]

YOU HAVE THE PART NUMBERS ?

[nik81818]

@ZAVACH1 if u goto rcmartDOTcom just search hpi e10

[ZAVACH1]

WHERE YOU BOUGHT ALL THE UPGRADE PARTS, SPECIALLY THE UPPER AND LOWER ARMS ?

[shitpickle123456789]

[nik81818]

[nik81818]

@JesseridesBMX about 200 not including motor/esc, remote/receiver, and battery. I'm gonna b selling this car soon.
