trying to make a come back : /
So a few years back I built a xxx kinwald edition.Was pretty newb to the rc car scene and was likea gift n stuff.I got into comps pretty heavy and the buggy sat on the shelf.Now I find it and dust it off n stuff and its slow as hell : ,was never really fast I'm sure I did something wrong :P
any help on what I could do/buy whatever to bring it back to the life it never had (like omg fast)
specs are
LRP IPC sprt esc
JR R125 reveiver and transmitter
Team orion rush 17 turn motor (I think thats right from what I remember have to take it out and see if not right)
uhh I think thats all the criticals and of course the sweet parts that came in the kit.
oh and cheapo "AMP MAX II" 1500mah packs :x
any help would be appreciated

Right off the bat, the batt (no pun intended) and the motor have to go. If you want a good Orion motor, look into the V2 series. The batteries are so old I don't even think anyone here uses them as practice packs. Get a good set of matched GP3300's and see what kind of life it has left on it, then check out a motor. The LRP speed control will get you around for a while. The battery may be gone making the car slow. You will see tremendous amount more punch with a good set of GP cells.

I believe the Rush was not rebuildable. It is an open-endbell motor but something about the comm being a different material (?)
Anyway, heres the Orion V2 - http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXFSW6&P=7
Heres some good batts - www.hyperform-racing.com
They currently have a sale on GP3300s.

The MRC 959 is a good charger to get. Charges @ 4.5 amps max on AC current.

For the price of those you can get the assembled (side by side) GP3300s from www.hyperform-racing.com or www.specpointbatteries.com which would be alot better overall.
Im just trying to help you get the best for your money.

These are a a good deal on 3300's. Great racing packs. Much better value than anything from Tower.
For stock racing you will be fine with 3300s.
Look in the for sale section on this board. There will be some good deals on lighly used packs.
Texracer is a good seller, tell him Britracer sent you, he usually gets good deals on things.
