your running a car with a brushed setup. YES you replaced the original 27t with a new 27t motor. NO... I replaced a 8t w/ used 27t I just acquired with another car (not a very good one anyway) I was told the 8t was not good in a 6gear The grass appeared to be the problem. (i wish it wasn't) you upgr...

I was just thinking. Someone here has to have found a really great setup with the 6gear tranny. Why should I have to re-invent the wheel?

but i should be able to do a brushed motor if i stay out of the grass and gear it right... right?

That is what my problem seems to be. No motors were burning up until I made the jump to a lipo battery.

I have heard venoms stuff is junk I haven't really run it yet, but from the specs it looks pretty reasonable. I picked this up the last tower order, I have no reason to think it won't work well. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXHUJ0&P=7 they have a selection from 13 to 21 t...

ok, I was going to go to a brushless on the 6gear car BUT... now since I have a team car with the stealth tranny I am going to save brushless for it instead. But I am frustrated with my original RC10 w/ the 6gear. It needs a new motor anyway. All my motors are old except the 8T which I have been tol...

I really wish I has a local track or place to go to run the car

my only off road is my back yard. (and it is tiny)

unfortunately I do not have another 27T motor to try. My only other motors are an 8T and a couple others I am not sure what they are (they are almost as old as the buggy)

Just changed to a 15 and 83 on the street and it was crawling and it smoked again. Motor must have been shot anyway

what motor are you running? what gearing do you currently have? what surface are you running on? what are you doing with the car, racing or bashing? how long are you running the car? what tranny are you using? The 6 gear you rebuilt or the stealth in the car you just scored? 27T stock motor grass, ...

It is the gears that came with the kit. I figured it would be good since the motor with the kit is 27T and the motor I just dropped in is 27T Recommendations on where to go from here as far as gearing? I did not think tire size would matter since I used to swap between truck wheels and buggy wheels ...

I am over geared... the motor was smoking today. That cannot be a good sign.

my deal sucked in comparrison.

Good to know. It is hot fast, too hot too touch but if that is normal then sweet!

ok, I am back to a heat problem. I have tackled everything I could think of and you guys directed me too. I swapped in deans connectors rebuilt the 6 gear tranny new battery (lipo) I put a 27T motor in with the original pinion and spur gears The motor is still getting hot, BUT.... the car is rockin'!

What brushless will a stealth tranny be able to handle without issues? 13T? 8T?
