I'm running at Tamiya USA my fast lap time 14.7 with the TB04
TB03 Front Spool comes with 39T main gear
Rear gear diff with EVO 5 main Gear 39T
Shock oil I use TLR 40wt and 37.5 rear
Yellow springs on all 4 corners
getting the weight out of the drivetrain is very important for this car get all of the light weight parts for the rear diff and drivetrain.

Just a heads up for those running wider than kit blocks (i run 1C-1C front and XA-B rear)... might want to get shorter universal shafts as the usual 44mm ones bind with the outdrives when the suspension compresses (pushes the plastic protector against the inside of the outdrives). I switched to 42mm front and rear

Can this car handle a 4t brushless motor?

Yes.
Fred will never say this publicly, but the intent of the TCS rules is to keep people from building some Frankenstein deal where you need to cut two completely unrelated parts and glue them together, and then all of a sudden that be the hot setup.
They don't seem to mind if you massage parts a little.

Yeah I have them installed. I'm getting a new car and would like to keep this car and try mod with it. What are the lowest turn motors you guys have tried and what have been the consequences?

Crazy. I have easily 50 hrs of runtime with a 17.5, but I ran the metal bevel gears from the start. They are very noisy btw. Very noisy indeed

I've never stripped a gear on the except one of the drive pins slipped out and locked up the drive train

Personally i feel switching to metal gears is a waste of money. You don't need it and your adding weight

You guys realize that I want to put a 4.0t in right? Metal gears might come in handy.

You may need metal gears. I was just saying I haven't had gear issues. Every shaft car except the Awesomatix used plastic gears without a problem in modified. My guess is that it should be fine for mod.

Your gears are not shimmed correctly, you have to make sure that you have the front and rear gears shimmed perfict, this takes time but you do it right no more stripping. I have never stripped a gear, and my drive train is whisper quiet. Please do not follow the instructions when shimmin your drive train you have to do it by feel.
