In this thrilling episode from Kevin Talbot, the team embarks on a monumental task - fitting the world's largest radio-controlled car motor onto the mighty Armor Kraton 8S. This behemoth of a motor is designed to handle the power of 12S LiPo, promising an adrenaline-pumping experience unlike any other. As they dive into the project, it becomes apparent that this motor is no ordinary upgrade; it requires a complete overhaul of the car's chassis and components. With a long wheelbase chassis from m2c and a plethora of custom motor mounts, the team sets out to make room for this powerhouse.
As they meticulously disassemble the car, sorting screws and organizing parts, the team faces the daunting challenge of integrating various upgrades from m2c and GPM. Each piece is carefully fitted together, reinforcing weak points and ensuring the car can withstand the sheer power of the new motor. Challenges arise as they encounter compatibility issues between parts from different manufacturers, but their determination prevails as they find creative solutions to make everything work seamlessly.
The transmission is meticulously built using components from GPM and m2c, with specific gear ratios tailored to the motor's requirements. As they tackle each obstacle with tenacity, the team's focus on durability and performance shines through in every modification. From upgrading shock absorbers to reinforcing the chassis, every detail is fine-tuned to create the ultimate RC car. With the servo and speed controller mounted using an m2c kit, the team ensures that every element of the car is optimized for maximum performance. The meticulous attention to detail and unwavering dedication to the project culminate in a masterpiece that promises to push the boundaries of RC car performance.
