Re: 1st build Globe to Aerodyne
Sweet build...I like the color choice. I did the bj color scheme on my aerodyne and the grand Hauler color on my W900 aerodyne.
Keep the pic's coming. Last edited by HAZMAN; 07-31-2015 at 07:54 AM. Reason: Pics didn't show up |

I'm no expert in all the various ways to slow a truck down and gain some torque. I'm sold on the PMD gear reduction units. All 3 of my trucks use them. Although you could use a different pinion gear or higher torque motor to acheive the same result, I like how the PMD unit increases the torque after the tranny , meaning there's no extra strain on it. |

Re: 1st build Globe to Aerodyne
Great job! The color scheme pops. It does look like a 1976 era paint job!!
As far as gear reduction I used a 55 turn motor (from Tower Hobbies, about $20) and a 6T pinion gear. (From RC4WD, about $15). It is another common way of getting the reduction. Double check the prices since my memory isn't that great.

Re: 1st build Globe to Aerodyne
Wow I love the color scheme! Did you come up with a name yet? How about something like blue max or blue streak? For my rig (a knight hauler) I came up with a company name based on Superman. My company name was " Kryptonite Transportation Services". Pick something you like and go with a related company name. I love your paint skills!
