hi
i dont race or any thing like that but i want to get more speed out of my car
would i be correct in thinking the less turns on the motor the faster my car will go if geared correctly
if i got a esc with no motor limit rated at 690 amps(dont know what it means but it says that on the box)
what would be the best motor to buy for my setup
thankyou

What kind of mph speed are you looking to get? If it's around 50 you can get that just with a mod motor and 6 cells.

Just want ot ask what kit are you currently using?..

mick 660

by kit do you mean the chassis if so it is a hpi rs4 sport
sorry i am a real rookie

i wonder if that old of a car can handle that kind of speeds , you can get a touring car up to 50 easily, just have good batteries.

mick 660

so batteries make alot of difference
at the moment i have a nicad2400 stick battery i think its pretty stuffed
i know my car is old i just got it back out of my cupboard after 2 years and decided to make it go faster
what is the best battery to buy

Wency_TA03R-PRO

its a bit old but as you have mention it still run 50 not bad. batteries do help much on the top end speed as well as you gearing set-up. In terms of battery go with gp 3300 or the new release sanyo 3600.

pro3racer

no, no, no, don't get the 3600's, first of all, wait until they have there second or third generation of those batteries, and those batteries have horrible resistance and volts, all they have is runtime, they suck for performance. I say, get a trinity D6 6 turn, GP3300 batteries, a Novak esc that has no limit, A put a very small spur gear on it and a medium size pinion gear.

If you want to go to a low turn motor you'll really need a motor lathe so you can keep it in good condition. Maybe an orion revolution 10t, you can get alot of runs out them before having to do much and you could just go to a local hobby shop now and then and have them cut the comm for you.

mick 660

will the 10t and a decent set of batteries be a big difference over my 12 t

pro3racer

yes, it should be, if you gear, maintence correctly.

im getting into racing my truck, and what is all this gearing people talk about? how do you do it?

So you mean 3600 batteries are not yet tested best in racing??. Good thing you said it coz next week my buddy is selling me his 3 sets of 3600. maybe thats teh reason why he selling it to me for half of the actual price?. tnx..
