you need a booster like the one TQ sells or the rc dynamic,4-5k maH is fine

Or a receiver pack.

Hey there, I'm taking on a 2nd class this year running 1/12th 17.5. I have success running a tekin rs with 203 software and a novak 10.5, but I'm not sure where to start with the 17.5. I read the last 50-60 pages and it just just touched on the subject and it was mostly with no boost.

My questions are:
1) is there a good set up for my tekin rs(boost turbo) 17.5
2)roll out. I read ppl are using 55t-60t pinions but thats for non boosted classes... Track size is 100x48
3) motor I was going to go back to novak for 17.5 is that a good choice or is there something better.

Sorry for all the noob like questions... I usually do my own research(ie read thread) but the season opener is around the corner and I like to order up everything asap

Phil, just sift a few pages back and u will see a couple post between myself and TrevCoult. That will give you more information on running a booster. Your other option is running a Rx pack, for example Amainhobbies Protek 200mah Rx pack.

there are some really nice SMC LiFE 6.6v 200mah packs with switches that hit the scene at IIC. I'm running a basic 200mah LiFE pack myself.

I don't have exact Tekin settings yet but 50/8 or 45/8 should be ideal for a novak with a bunch of timing already in it. In non-boosted 17.5 people should gear from 95mm to 105mm. Always talk roll out... not just pinion and spur.

Pick up some small spurs - 71 or 72t. Prs has them. Pinion sizes from 46 to 55 and u should be covered.

The first stuff was Jack-the-Gripper, and the second stuff was Speedtech. In Europe we use CS High-Grip or Speedtech, and it brings the bite up well even on a Club night.

Why the JtG didn't work on a CRC carpet at the Worlds is a mystery. There are all sorts of theories about what is in the 'Euro' version of JtG compared to the US version, and what people were or weren't doing to their additive, but the fact remains that the JtG provided for the Worlds didn't work, and the Speedtech did. One day someone will tell us... HTH

the problem with a receiver pack is it will need charging after every run ,

i am totally new to 1s and 1/12th

i understnad i need 6v for the reciever/servo but what is best and safest ?

A reciever pack will only feed the reviever and servo the 1s lipo will power the speedo and motor , am i right in thinking this ???

A voltage booster just boosts the voltage from the lipo to the reciever and servo or am i wrong again (wont be the 1st time ) ??

You are right except most receiver packs will get at least two runs. I run a 330mah pack and only use about 85mah per 8 min run.

Thanks slowerone, is speedtech available in the states? Sounds like it is pretty good stuff.

Hanulec thanks for the answers. I'm bit confused when you mention 50/8 45/8

Yeah! What Trev said. It is also smaller than the TQ booster.

He's talking timing boost and turbo boost. The first number before the slash is timing boost and the second number is turbo boost.

Keep an eye on the Tekin RS thread and you'll get some good info on the RS.

i wanna switch to the longer front arms but cant find theme anywhere??
any help would be aprecciated thanks!

Don't forget that you will need the optional cross brace to use the long arm configuration.
