RC10B4 Hop Up Suggestions?
Hey People....
Just bought a used, beat-up RC10B4 and I want to make it go really, really fast. I'm new to this, so I am wondering if anyone can comment on my plans to put it up to speed.
Done so far:
1) New tires and wheels.
2) New bearings.
3) Paint job...of course.
4) Replaced all the broken parts with new factory replacements to be sure she runs.
It runs, it's pretty fast, but 4500 maH NiMh and a $60 motor aren't cutting it.
My plans...
1) Replace all the parts I can with aluminum/titanium. Good idea?
2) Switch the motor and ESC to the Tekin Pro Combo.
4) Buy a better servo...recommendations?
5) Stiffer, 90mm suspension, the chassis is banging on jumps and the front is rolling hard, even with a 1/4" spacer.
6) LiPO's of course. Recommendation on a good set?
7) New body, carbon chassis, high downforce wing.
RUN... Looking for 80+mph, doable?
Let me know what you think, I'll be glad to post videos once she's done.

DONE
Well, thanks for all of the no help.
Nonetheless, it's done.
Sidewinder ESC, Castle 1406 5700kv motor, new radio(which I found out I needed when I went brushless(again, thanks for no advice), more tires, more wheels, about 6 different suspension set-ups now, 81 spur, 23 pinion, Venom 5000mah 3S Lipo(35C), titanium turnbuckles, replaced almost all of the parts two or three times now...
It pops wheelies at full speed, and I have no idea what that speed is, but it's as fast as I dare go. STUPID FAST.
Apparently TECH ROOKIES get NO HELP even though there were 114 views.
Nonetheless, it's done.
