maybe consider a dual fan mount with one of the fans directed on the end bell?

right so would it be better to run a heat sink, and a fan? i have an apex 2 or something like that, with no vent holes i believe so that isnt a viable option at the moment. also i have non anodized and anodized heat sinks (different colors, and sizes). and what about direction towards the motor(infront or behind) which is better?

Now to the gear diff oil for your VTA...I Don't run VTA. I Run 17.5 blinky. I'm sure its not too far off. But the ranges do vary from 450 cst to 1000 cst. I personally have found that I like a lighter diff oil for a quicker rotation into the turns. The lighter the diff oil the easier the car will turn in. But I'm told the heavier the diff oil the better exist speed you will have. I personally like the better turn in, n haven't really notice a significant amount of loss in exit speed. What I would suggest to you is, talking to the top vta racers there n see what they use for a similar car Hope that helps bud. Good luck!

So I have read that 6.1 battery and servo dont flex with the chassis what would the car do if I made it able to more traction? Or somethijg like that?

I think im running 2k in mine seems to work well and if that doesnt work thinner=more corner steering and higher weight= more high speed steering less turn in steering

A stiff car will usually be faster but it's much harder to find the "sweet spot".

hm alright well i will keep that in mind and test with that tomorrow, cars on rails now super fast, and super good
has anyone thought of making less rotating mass parts such as the spur gear mounts? or better/ lighter cva's

does anyone know of a titanium/aluminum screw kit for the 6.1? other than associated kit i want it to be lighter than the stock screws. also i hear that the alum. screws that go into alum. can sieze anyone have any suggestions on how to stop that from happening
#9820
Don't worry! I use AE's aluminium screws everywhere in my car (except for armmounts and motor) and didn't have a problem for the last two years. You only have to accept that you cannot use brutal force to tighten them. For maximum weight reduction add AE's titanium ballstuds to your car.
Haters will tell you aluminium screws are to weak and will not work bla bla, but it is simply not true

You can get titanium screws, but they are expensive:

I personally use steel screws:

And reduce the 10-30 grams of weight you would save some other way, such as using a light weight body shell (painted lightly also):

I have personally used the ZZ Titanium screws with good results and they are less expensive than the AE aluminum screws. As with any light weight screws, it is best not to over torque them as the heads strip easier than steel. Use a hi quality, well fitting driver to lessen this possibility.

I had a fairly new ltc r light weight body and it got trashed even with shoe goo and dry wall tape so I can reduce the weight sone but I was still interested I need about twenty grams lost but I can save some more wire just have to make sure that its balanced again
