It's going to feel about the same... except be more efficient. Lipo's in 6s setups last 2x as long (cycles) ESC's run cooler... but as far as effective power and torque, if you run about the same RPM's which what you posted is you will have a VERY similar feel..

There will be a little difference, but you won't really notice it unless you run your truck with the t2000 and then go inside and quick swap it out to the t1350 and run your truck again. I've ran the t2250, (t1900 buggy motor on 5s) and the t1550 and they're all very comparable, although the t1550 did have a little more torque (little harder to control and pulled the front wheels off the ground more) which is fixable by changing diff oil. I also ran them all with gearing to keep the same top speed or RPM. I was thinking about picking up the t1350 to try it out, just haven't got around to it. If I do I'll let you know.

If your looking for good batteries that are light weight try MaxAmps. Guys will tell you they're way over priced which done get me wrong they are pretty expensive, but if you want a light weight battery without sacrificing mAh then these are awesome. They also have one year full replacement warranty and a Lifetime 50% off warranty, which you can't get anywhere else that I know of.

Strange I'll look at it again.

Marc - I looked at it and it appears to be all there on the setup sheet.

Are those badlands mounted on offset wheels? or were the wheels zero offset? Can you get premounted badlands on zero offset wheels anywhere in the market? I can only seem to find the 1/2 inch offset ones

Actually you can stretch 3.8 badlands over the proline VTRs and it looks awesome and minimizes ballooning

Mine are zero offset and you can't get premounted in zero offset. They can be mounted proline VTRs or AKA or for that sake most other truggy wheels.

There is one trick to making these Desperado 3.8 zero offset wheels to work on your truggy and that is to cut off the inside lip of the wheel (cut where the yellow line is in the picture) and mount the tire on the inside of the lip that sticks up (where the white curly line is in the picture). The reason you have to do this is Desperado wheels are to wide and will hit your a-arms when you turn. It's not very difficult to mount them on the Desperado wheels, but saves you screwing around just mount them on truggy wheels.

Are the box stock included oils a good starting point? My ET48 will be here this week.

The kit setup is pretty solid. Even after tweaking and testing I was still running stock oils.

Matt,

As Cpt. mentioned the kit setup is pretty good. I've found that the springs are to soft for my liking. If I was you I'd invest in a set of Yellow springs front and rear. For my driving style I found the oils to be too soft for our local tracks. Try the kit oils, but I'd have 40/35 on hand to try out. I'd also modify the droop settings to 118 in the front and like 132 in the rear. We were just at RC Pro this past Saturday and the ET was dialed.

Mark
