So just to get the conversation going here. yes the rc is painfully slow stock on 2-3s.. So 4s is a must.. im still playing with different KV motors and pinions. i did try a high kv 550 can and it was super fast but very in-efficient.. not a good setup for longer runs/racing.
im planning on keeping the 1.5y 1950 kv novak and matching it with the right pinion. the stock pinion is 17t.
i have pinions on order 15-through 20.. so im hoping to test with a whole bunch. A higher kv (2600) motor is an option but not efficient for straightaways less than 130-150 feet. you want to have reached top rpm by the time you need to brake near the end of the straight.

I made a convection kit in the past with two battery trays on each side and the motor placed above the rear center drive shaft.

Hello guys ,
I have already post the conversion i made (for installing the castle bigblock motor with 34t pinion gear , 8s lipo and 200amp esc ) for the gt2 .
Here is a center spool conversion with machined spur gear adaptor compatible with 36t or bigger 3bolted spur gears like traxxas revos.




This spur gear adaptor convert the center diff to solid just replacing the 2 speed transmition with the adapter ....gearing up to 1:1 or more!

If your planning on going fast, be it drag or speed runs GRP's are it! You just have to choose slick or tread and the softness. The lower the # the softer the tire. I run S1's on mine. I do drag race.. I think "but check" speed runs use a harder tire n track in the middle. Just remember softer means you'll run through them faster. S1 stick like glue!! Love them!

Nice car! I'm trying to find a 5th scale weel conversion for my Inferno GT2. I need more traction and those GRP's would do the trick! They have adapters for the XO-1 so I'm hoping some one heard of something!!!!!!

Hello ,
i made 1/5 tire adapters and 1/5 size motor mounts for inferno cars .
Here is a photo with the adapters installed on inferno mp9 ,compatible also with gt2 ,st ,neo etc.


http://brushlessmaniac.blogspot.gr/2...pters-for.html
Just note that these tires are aproximately 15mm larger diameter than the 1/8 gt tires , they are almost the same diameter with 1/8 buggy tires

For this reason you need to trim the body for the larger wheels.

Can someone breakdown the inner workings of the shocks? I went to 70wt front n rear for a starting point. I need to understand what different shock Pistons do? I need to set my car up for drag racing. Any help would be greatly appretiated..
