What pitch Is the Redcat Racing Ground Pounder Pinion and spur.

So what did I learn to day .

That Redcat Racing's part's Number BS701-019 is miss labeled . There website states : Pinion Gear 23T (.6 Mod), M3 Screw ~ . This is partially in correct it is a 23 tooth pinion but it not mod .6 / metric 48 pitch it is in fact imperial 48 pitch go figure . So don't waste your money if your looking to gear your Ground Pounder down  on .6 modual pinions as you will burn through a spur in no time.





P.S. if your new to the hobby the best deals on 48 pitch pinion gears is the Robinson Racing Six pack starter set Part # 1050 / 1055 .   
Part #1050 comes with a 16T 18T 20T 22T 24T 26T steel pinions Part # 1055 comes with 15T 17T 19T 21T 23T 25T steel pinion . There a heck of a deal at as each set normally sels for less than $16.00 .

Well I been playing with the Ground Pounder .

I decided early on I wanted more grunt out of the Ground Pounder. So I Swapped the 23 tooth pinion for a 19 tooth pinion and to be honest I feel it needs more torque still If its going to replace the Clodbuster for my purposes .

I played a little to day and shot a little video sadly I forgot to change the camera settings so not the best quality but hey its a running video.

I will soon be adding to the broken parts list its only a matter of time.

New Toy is on its way " Redcat Racing Ground Pounder "

Yup I did it I placed a order for a Ground Pounder I needed something to take care of my Snow driving fix and for the money I cant complain about the durability and performance I have seen from my step-dads truck so expect to see a lot of stuff when it arrives.

Current plans for the future include :




I plan to experiment  with the stock motor and several brushed aftermarket motors but eventually a brushless system will find its way in .

Since the ESC is rated as 3s lipo capable I'm thinking a 20 or 19 turn brushed 550 motor powered with a 3s lipo should be the ultimate budget system for the Ground Pounder just saying . 

Steel spur gear upgrade if necessary but the plastic version will probably do . BS801-014  MPO-017
  






Home made axle braces " Outlaw Hobby makes  makes some killer looking braces but $79.99 a pair is a

little rich for my blood "







Replacing the  shocks are on my to do list mainly because the stock spring diameter doesn't leave a lot of
options for replacements and replacing them also means I could install longer shocks with more travel.

  

Snow snow snow and no 4x4

I'm willing to on record as saying Winter fun Really requires a 4x4 R.C. . Sadly I was dumb enough to sell the Clodbuster and not have a immediate replacement on the way . Hopefully soon I will receive my a new toy for snow duty . But till them I'll just have to sit back and watch my step dad have a blast with his Ground Pounder and if the snow isn't to deep Caldera's . second though  I just might swipe the Ground Pounder when he's not looking .
