I cant wait to get a sensored motor so I can turn the turbo on for the straight at full throttle input. Right now my car has no timing in it and it feels so dead. I guess I'm just getting use to the glr with the faster speed that I'm trying to get it to mimic it. Especially with max gearing I can put on the car at 14x51

I’m running a bushing PN 70T! Need to try a 3500kv.

are u running a brushless board if u are i would look at the rocket motors. They are built copays of the pn v2 motor and cost 15 bucks. Just try and find a local seller in the states. And not anybody who drop ships it and says there in the states I got burned like that on ebay

ExcelRC.com !!! They carry the motor and a tone of MINI-Z parts!

I have a 3500kv, but haven’t had the time to install it. It will replace the ATM 5500kv that’s in my PN2.5W chassis with VE Pro board and TDS similar to your setup. By the way, when are you going to add pics of your rigs to your race result posts?

there basic cars only one that has had a major over haul is the pn chassis car because of all the work done on it. That's the 1 thing I always forget to do when posting.

This is the pn car both the gl cars are all stock. No hop ups on it that's why I havent posted them

Picture makes it look like you’re running a little toe out. Is that a 0 deg tie rod, or a -0.5?

its a 0* dont know why it looks like that.

I guess you weren't kidding last summer! LOL

Glad you finally got everything you need to join us together and look forward to you getting your cars sorted and and putting up some real times.

I'm really enjoying the Mini-Z resurgence...

I had some time last night, so I swapped the ATM 5500kv motor out of my PN2.5W/VE Pro car and replaced it with a Rocket 3500kv. The car is much easier to drive on the Mini-96 now. I had to make several ICS adjustments to the board, but it still rolls way too much off throttle. After a couple of runs, I'm down to a 5:11.881, still 13 seconds slower than my PN 70T car. This 3500kv motor doesn't have the acceleration or drag brake that my PN 70T car has, so I don't think I'll be any faster with it, but the biggest pinion I had was a 12t, so I was running 53/12 gearing. I prefer the feel of the brushed motors, but I just don't have much time with the brushless ones yet.

This post makes me feel better. I was starting to wonder if I needed to go BL to be competitive.

Cheers,
Jim

me personally I run as lil drag brake as possible on by glr I have ot on setting 2 my gla has none and my home built evo has setting 2 on I would have to see how much that is. I rather use the tires to slow down and scrub speed in the corner or trail brake into the corner

That's the other thing I'm not used to. These brushless motors seem to have very weak braking. I prefer brushed at the moment, and will likely stick with those for the M96WC, but will keep messing with the brushless to see how close I can get to the brushed times, and to see if I can get used to them. I remember EMU and others saying it took a while to adjust to brushless, and that switching back and forth between the two was not easy...

if breaking is the problem my brakes are at 100%on the esc but I'll dial them the way I like in the radio
Esc100%-radio60%
