tou should buy the best car that your lhs supports which in most cases is what is at the local track so whatever is the most populer at your track is what you should get unles its a bmi tc3 cos you have that allready

Well i run Xray and my LHS doesnt stock up on it, i just do, lol They really dont stock up on anything, maybe AE or HPI.

I buy most of stuff online, so what my LHS carries doesn't really matter, although they do carry parts for all those cars. I basically just wanted to know if I went with a belt car, like the Xray, if my acceleration would suffer a noticeable amount.

and if you want something different go for a belt driven cer between belt and shaft belt is more populer i think or you could get the new evo 4

pink pac man

im not sure on how mutch the accel whoud change cos ive never driven a decent shaft car and i buy most of mine of the net not at lhs cos its faster from the states iacctually have 4 lhs that i can go to

The new XRays with the low ratio pulleys spool up much, much faster than the older ones. I noticed a huge difference when I switched to the low ratio pulleys on my T1Evo2...

My xxx-s accelerates faster and is more stable during acceleration than a bunch of the tc3s I race with. IMO, acceleration has more to do with gearing, motors, and electronics...than it does drivetrain.

ditto

I like the T1R, and if I get that I plan on getting the low ratio pulleys and the spring steel layshaft for it. Anything else?

pink pac man

one way diff/hollow layshaft some front shafts cos thay tend to bend/and some spare steering blocks and c hubs if you dont care about waight get the alu sterring blocks and c hubs and then if you want to get the waight of try the carbon top deck and shock towers

pink pac man

the mods ive done from standard T1R blue bumper/front 1 way/alu stering blocks/alu c hubs/front stablizer/i use a novak dually esc and a futaba 3pk radio a hitec hs-5625 servo and epic monster metal batts and i use a trinity monster pro/peak hellfire and i can compete very comfortably with t1 factory kit driving sponsored drivers and its all the car im telling you its so sick i couldent be where im at without it i dought that my ta04 whould get me where i am now and the T1R is mutch stronger than a t1 or eqivilant

pink pac man

i also kneed to fix mine up for the next race season i plan to get the hollow layshaft/carbon top deck/carbon shocktowers/roll centre bridge/sping steel hex thingeys/stronger driveshafts of somesort/spool/and thats about it thats also on top of a hudy tire truer a lrp pulsar comp hudy setup system new bodie from stik in singapore

I'm not sure that the spring steel layshaft will work with the low ratio pulleys. I was told that you had to run the aluminum layshaft with them, and that's what I've always stuck with. You might investigate the weight differences between the aluminum layshaft and the spring steel one and then run which ever is lighter. You're talking about rotating mass, and lighter rotating mass will allow the car to spool up quicker.

i believe losirob is correct, i dont have 1.77 pulleys but i do know that you need a different layshaft to use those pulleys and i do believe it is the aluminium one. My friend had the same problem and bought the layshaft that come with the FK kit which comes with 1.77 pulleys.

wow jon you call me ya friend NOT

But those pullies are the way to go the car takes off like a rocket.. you do need the solid lay shaft and a 5mm e clip. by the way r/c shack provided to me free of charge only wish they were closer to where i live.....
