So what sort of motors do you use? its got a 17.5t and i have a turbo speedy

and how tight would you run the rear diff? gonna either buy the hot racing sealed diff and run oils.. or dodgy mod the existing one and run oil..
Several of our guys are running 3800kv castle motors or 10.5 sensored motors. Our first race back in June 2012 the winner took out a 5700kv castle and installed a 17.5 rtr type motor and won.

On diff oils I've seen everything from bone stock all the way up to locked spools run well at our track. The HR piece is a good piece. I haven't used it yet but it's installed.

As ALLRACER said, he has had great success with the Proline transmission.
