I know of a few locals that run uncensored, and they drift just fine. I also read that castle creation motors run a lot smoother than most uncensored systems. You should be fine running it for drift.

There isnt enough steering in it to be able to use the full stage 1 yokomo 1.4cs (spur/pinion) kit. Dont bother. Plus nearly impossible to find unless you can read japanese. I use the yokomo 20T pinion only with stock 40T spur at 125cs it feels pretty nice. You can find them on on some asian sites like genki
For a one-way use the center shaft oneway input cup. Found mine on eby. $30
To lock the rear make some diff rings from a cereal box and cinch the diff down.
Use 4 deg castor blocks with 2 deg kickup
Honestly the cs isnt needed but the ow is crucial on this car especially for switchbacks. Hope this helps.

Only thing uncensored I like is porn.
Keep it sensored for better low range throttle response. People who always stay on mid to full throttle wouldn't really notice too much difference. 17.5 isn't bad at all for CS, but it all depends on what other people are running too. It's much easier to tandem with similar powered cars.

Go with a 17.5 then, it'll be plenty fun for parking lot bashing. You can always go for that 9t in the future!

And on an ota cs at 1.49. Any more cs and its too much for my ability to drive. rwd is always fun/frustrating practice

Hahaha woops. Unsensored. Sensored is smoother, but for just having fun, castle creations unsensored motors shouldn't be too bad. I've read they are as efficient as unsensored motors can get. I have no experience with them though, so all I'm really basing it on is what I have read, and seen people run.

Have a buddy with an ezrun unsensored setup in a tc-fd and its so smooth on low throttle. I cant feel a cog on it. It has a brushed feel to it.

I've had several Ezrun systems and never had cogging even with my Ve8. They really are quality systems at a better price that most people just look past because of this. For my cyclone project I'm going with the 35amp ezrun esc and going to try one of the cheaper motors out there. Not sure what one yet ut plan to test a few and see what I think works good in my set up. Figure for the price of a castle I can pick up 2 maybe 3 of these different motors and play around between them..

As long as you are running enough amperage you shouldn't have to worry about any cogging.

Going to be adding a new HPI E10 to my stable since a buddy offered to sell me his for $60. He drove it once and decided he didn't want it because he likes his go fast E-Revo. He isn't inlcuding the radio or receiver but that's okay because the stock HPI ones suck. Anyway, who makes the most realistic 1/10 scale Nissan Silvia S13 body? A link would be much appreciated!

Whoa, I just went page thru page on GDD and didn't see a single S13. Seems like they got damn near everything else though! Got like 6 different S15's and 5 different S14's though.
Frewer S13 <--there found that. Thing is Frewer bodies lack detail. They have unique bodies (US round headlight DC2 anyone?) but detail is worse than an HPI body.
The one you want is ABC Hobby 66028 Silvia S13. But good luck finding one though. It's been discontinued, but surely there has to be one out there somewhere.
Cross made an S13 also, but like the ABC one, it's discontinued and hard to find. Like a Sasquatch.

I think you will find it very hard to find a hard body s13.
