So far I've done a front motor conversion, 2S lipo, SW3 w/4600kv motor with a 75T spur, 37T pinion. I've got the timing set to 0*. Also a Fubuta romote and receiver. I've got a quick video of it ballooning the tires, but no videos of any runs yet. Here's the vid, let me know what you think.
Can the sidewinder 3 handle a 2.02 gear ratio? Even at the lower kv I'd suggest that you monitor your temps closely when actually running that thing under load. I'd hate for you to burn out your esc. That's never fun. Do you have any method of actually clocking the speed you get? I'm curious to see how it performs, keep us posted!
