I just ordered my Cup racer and am looking at Novak Havok 10.5t running 7.2v 6 cells. Is this too much? I'm not going to a track just out in front of my house or parking lots, and not going to run lipo.

My second option is the Havok 13.5t system.

What would be a conservative gearing for these set ups?

thanks

13.5 is probably all you'll ever need in a Cup Racer. plus you'll have more run time since you're not using lipos.

FDR 6.5 to 7.5. non boosted.

Travis: that looks pretty sweet!

There is a class to run them.. its a mini 4wd class which includes the ABC Genetic. Unfortunately rain is on the forecast....

Last month was the same and i drove out there and it did not rain all day.. so its a gamble.

...13.5 is pretty fast, ...yet I guess it's all a matter of perspective. And, don't lipo's usually get better run times?

Yes lipos have better run times. poster said that he did not use lipos. I was offering him better runtimes as opposed to the 10.5 he was considering.

Yeah dont run a 7700kv motor with 2s in this btw. The stock tire will in fact balloon up alot, making the car very skittish and roll prone. Also pegging a rock at 45 will just put a clean hole in the front bumper where the rock entered the body. Just FYI.

Looks like weather cleared up.. so car is loaded and ready to go for Hobby Town Corona!

'sup guys, any info on a setup for rubber tires on carpet?

Also, I'm wondering which are the best 'race-worthy' options you experienced CR racers have. I'm planning to get alum. shocks, alum. hexes, alum. uprights - anything else to consider? Does the carbon upper/lower deck make it too stiff?

My personal recommendation: Alum shocks, carbon towers. Everything else is just bling. If you decide to go carbon deck, you might as well get the exotek..

This is my cup racer, with HPI x-pattern pro compound belted tires. It handles a lot better than with the stock tires.

Looks sweet Sniper! Did you put a sidewinder in it? If so, which one?

ah, gotcha, -didn't quite get what he was trying to say.


Also, love that 240z, -nice job. I'll have to pick some of those tires up for my CR'er. ...photos still to come (still in the build process).

ro.sniper

Its the 5700kv one...

If I were to do it again, I wouldve put in a 17.5 or 13.5 turn brushless system as that's what most classes run
