Anyway i plan to use this car for drifting with a 13.5 brushless. I was wondering what spur pinion combo you guys are running. It seems i will be needing a ridiculously large pinion on this thing to get it to even mesh with the stock spur. Any help would help. thanks
you can pm if you like
you can change the stock motor mount to the purple aluminum ones. i shaved mine down with a dremel. now i can fit a 52 pinion.in your case you can start with a 34 pinion and the stock 96 spur.if you want more power go up in pinion size(check motor temps so they dont pass 190.over 200 and your motor is fried) you may also want to consider a 25c-35c lipo. you will get that extra punch to keep those tires spinning. happy drifting
