There's lots at my track... I think they're plotting something bad against us Yokomo racers... Evil, they're eeeevil.

My track is selling them for $189!!! No wonder there's alot of them... I think they got 10 kits in, might be 1 or 2 left.

Speedo

probably should. Ummm, this one time at Yokomo camp, err... no.

Anybody use a Mondeo body? I just got one because I thought it looked cool, and couldn't notice any ontrack differences between it and my Stratus. Just wondering if anyone else noticed a difference, mabye on a big track or something.

I've been thinking about getting into mod. I'm having a fairly hard time keeping up power wise in stock, and usually have been doing good in the corners. (last week sucked, but eveybody has their off-nights.) Anyways, what would you reccomend for a mod motor? I've played around on practice days with a 12x3 SpeedGems, and it's LOTS of fun! It'll take some getting used to, but I want to try racing mod competitively. I've got 4 Yokomo 2400 packs, which I'd like to use in Mod. Don't exactly have the money to buy 3000's, and I know people made runtime before the NiMH's even came out.

mr4-malta

well if you had now budget i would go for a reedy ti( but they are a bit pricey).....forget the trinity (but you prolly already know that lol) orion is good maybe a nice 11x3.....
can you get corally where you are?? my best mods are corally!2400 you shouldnt have any probs unless your trottle happy(like me ) i can also give you gearing combo's with 2400's i used to use them but now its all 3000

Caddzilla

Thanks Speedo, I will make sure I pick up those parts before I start on the conversion.

Speedo

Guys over here bave no probs making 4 min with 2400's. I'm thinking about getting into mod eventually too. I would say reedy ti, best motor right now. I have a 13 3 D4...I think trinity only makes good stock motors though.

I can afford a motor... But, not 3-4 $65 battery packs is what I meant. Also, how much extra wear does Mod put on the drive train, and tires??? I realize the motors themselves cost more, but how much more do I get to look forward to spending on other stuff?

mr4-malta

well
eventualy you will need a lathe so (150$) brushes every 5-8 runs atleast 3-5 motors......tires.......20-25 runs (pit d35 w/ schum blue insert).....and eventually if you want to be serious in mod you will need 3000'......i have 4 packs..... plus you brake parts easy
and not too much wear on the transmission!

Well, I've got a Hudy lathe, will pick up a diamond bit fairly soon. I've got I think 28 tires mounted up... all Pits and Sorex's. I've got allmost enough spare parts to build another car. I've got some brushes, and can get more very, very easily. I guess what I'm really asking though, is do I need to rebuild the diff more often and maybe keep a closer eye on outdrive wear and that sort of stuff?

JeffC

What I'd really like to do, is just buy 1 motor, but then buy a couple different wind arms for it. Unless, there's a problem with doing this, that is my plan so far.
