Where do find the 47T spur for the single speed? All I can locate is the stock 51T.
Thanks

That's an awesome chassis .... now you need the Alpha R2 body to complete it.

I'm using the RC-Monster motormount, as my rides are nitro conversions.

The 47T only comes in steel. You can do plastic 46T, and 44T if you use a center diff.

The 47T can be found at Nitrohouse and it's made for the center spool. Seek the Titan/Blazer spur #40247.

I didn't opt for a center diff and 44T spur, as I'm afraid that I will run out of torque when geared for a roll out of 2.26 and only running 4S. My diffs are allready made for a higher topspeed 44/14, compared to the buggy diffs 43/13. I could do a 40T spur, but will need to go with an 8S setup. I have allready gone the 10s A123 route once before in my GTP and want to do something different. I blew up the diffs within a few speed runs what that kinda power. The diffs lasted longer once I went to the KingHeadz diff cups and hardend ring gears.

Here is the pic of the 47T spur.



Here is the 10s A123 setup running on ipanema's.

Thanks Snellemin for the reply.

How well will the stock diff rings hold up in a 4S w/Tekin 2050-2150kv motor for road racing with 25/51 ratio? Should I invest in hardened steel rings from the get go? Are there any other weak points in the stock car?

What's the approx mph on the straight and run time with a good 5000mah lipo on a large track with a straight of ~200'? Nitro GT's can go 7 minutes on a tank and average 25 second laps and 52-55mph straight speeds?

What starting and ending RPM range should the timing be applied with the above set up and how much? Tekin ESC of course.

Thanks for your replies.

Since nobody has a motor mount for my older gtp , yes rcmonster makes one-out of stock forever now, plus not bashing it I just dont care for a 2 bolt down setup, figured I'd make my own, this just showed up today

Stock ring gears in the OFNA and Kyosho cars are similar material, and they seem to hold up pretty well, but you have to check your mesh regularly. On the Kyosho's we can shim our diffs (checking for backlash), not sure if you can on the OFNA's. If you do not check this regurarly, you will destroy ring and pinions in a hurry, even the hardened ones.

Its hard to say on how long the 5000Mah will last during a race, it all depends on how long you are on full throttle and how much you use the brake. I would take a fully charged battery and time how long it takes to cut-off, and then subtract the time before a race you use for warm-up.

I will have to answer your last question later, and I will download my setup from my Tekin, it should give you a good starting point.
