Curious your issue with orca.. I dont run their power systems but Picked up two of the 6200 infinite ultra packs sept 2015, i beat the crap out of them practicing mod weekly. Capacity has dropped but they havent swollen. Seems like the trinity and big reedy's are popular for stock though

This isn't really T4 specific but I am just getting into onroad with a T4 and I am wondering if someone can recommend a decent lipo to use for 17.5 onroad. I was looking at promatch and SMC. Ive had Orcas that I used in offroad and I didn't have much luck with them. Thanks.

I am running 13.5T (106 spur/47 pinion... 64P). I am wondering can I switch to 48P gears? It looks like the largest 48P spur is 90T. So I am wondering will 90/40 combo work as far as meshing properly in the T4.
What effect will changing to 48P gears have? I just wanted to do it because they are easier to set mesh and when I hit things with the front of the car the motor moves slightly and then messes up the teeth on the spur too easily.

Can't remember if it's an 85 or 86t spur that is level with the bottom of the chassis.
They are harder to damage, which is why I use them on my TC, but they don't allow such a fine adjustment of gearing.

Another thing I just thought about. I sheared off the plastic outdrive on the front spool this weekend so I ordered the xray steel front outdrives but you have to use the blades instead of just the pin of the dogbone end going inside the outdrive. When I got the car used the previous owner installed ECS's. Am I able to push the pin out on those to install the plastic blades? Or are the blades flexible enough to bend them and get the pin in without removing it?
I really like the xray stuff but it sucks no hobby shops around me carry any of their stuff. I sheared off the outdrive in the first race of the day. So I just disassembled half of the ecs and left the axle part in and finished out the day with 3WD. . Finished 3rd place.

Thanks for reminding me. Just ordered some and a couple arms and a spur gear. Do arms break very often? I am running hard plastics for everything. Id assume the graphite ones would be more brittle and more prone to breakage than the hard plastic? this weekend was my first TC race (first on-road type car ever actually). It hit the boards a couple times til I got the hang of it. Also, not used to bodies having such an effect on how the car runs (with buggies you just cut on the lines and slap it on). It took me awhile to get the body so it wasn't rubbing in turns and hitting the tires, etc.. Probably shoulda run a practice body the first time. Took me 6-8 hrs to layout and airbrush my body and 4 minutes to destroy it

If you want to make the plastic outdrives stronger you could wrap some cell tape tightly around them.
