Usual stuff to get for high speed action.

!. Foam tires (never use rubber tires cos they will bloat up during high rpm which in this case would reduce your traction alot.

2. An at least 7turn motor

3. An ESC that can handle 7 turn

4. Match cells (6, 7, 8, 9 or even 10 you choose)

5. IF i were you, i would just go towards brushless ESC n motor. Schulze and Hackerz make some wild stuff out there.

Yes... A brushless is perfect for bashing. No motor maintenance needed and far longer runtime. Higher speed too!!!

You better run a body with a lot of downforce.... I decided to run a Mustang body on my NTC3, needless to say the car thought it was an airplane.... I watched the front end lift and the car get a good 5' of air before it tumbled a good 30+ times.... This was with a JP NR engine and geared for top end... We can imagine how fast it was going.....

Gutted, my mate did that with his fusion he hit 3rd grear and it just went up flipped twice landed on all 4 and carried on great to watch, it has so much power that they had to detune the motor to stop it from melting the diffs when racing didnt like rubber tires either it destroyed a set each race so he ran foams
