None of the tracks here have longer straights at the most being 100 ft or so with space coast rc being a exception and 18t would be plenty of gear to start. then dialing in up or down a gear like I said to start. motor temps and all that will fall in line with fast laps. Or are you more concerned with motor temps than fast lap times?? Gimme a break too I don't appreciate the insults. You can make a point without being insulting.

G'day guys,

I'm a newbie to electric r/c, all my cars are nitro.
I just picked up a 3/4 finished b44.1 from a mate for $250, it has a Monster D3 6.5 turn motor, XP 1015 digital servo and Team Orion 5500mAh lipo batteries.

Just need a bit of advice as to what ESC and radio would be best to run it?

I dont race them, i'm just a bushbasher.....

Any help would be appreciated.

I like the Much More Ultra high RPM fans. They move a lot of air, and held up to about 6 months in a durango, and 3 months in a 4x4 SC before quitting on me.

Do you need a fan though? My ESC doesn't get over 140 or so in my 44. Do you have cutouts in your body?

What body are you running? I run a PL bulldog with the side vents, and front vent (under windshield) cut out. The PL already has a wide opening in the rear that really helps the air escape.

been said many times before but the 6/3 shimming of the diffs is SO much better.

I didn't have any extras when I built my kit so I went 5/1 to tighten the mesh a little.

Shimmed now with 6/3 not only is the mesh and side to side play better but it's also noticeably quieter.

Hello all.

how often do you guys rebuild/maintain the drivetrain, im new to this "ball-diff"/slipper system.

Best Regards.

Its a bit of a task to do them, so I do mine when they start getting gritty to the point it feels like its catching. Never really had a regiment plan for rebuilding them. If I did it would be once a month.
