What gear ratio to use with brushless?

I have an RC10T3 with stealth tranny, Reedy DS Spec motor, Novak 610RV ESC, 3k NiMh packs and 14/54 gearing. My two buggies have the six gear tranny. One will have a Novak 610RV using a Speed Gem 2 (blue can) and has 17/87 gearing. The other has a Trinity TI 9x2 motor, 21/87 gearing and hopefully us...

Re: THE H.P FREAK's "GRAPHITE" RC10 build

That is the ugliest car ever! You need to do yourself a favor and get rid of it quick. You don't want to be seen at the track with that do you? Wait, I have an idea. Send it to me. Folks around here don't mind a car like that at the track. Don't delay. :lol: :P

Thanks gents for the insight. I'm off to Wally Word for some H2O2 and UV light bulb. Thanks again.

Anodizing?

Just received my deanozided A stamped chassis from Ebay and I'm wondering if any of you guys know of a place that anodizes either here in Texas or abroad? I would like to stay away from powder coating if possible and have it anodized gold. Thanks in advance.

To Dye or not to dye?

I recently started my build on my third ebay score, a A stamped gold chassis buggy. The white parts aren't so white and I was wondering if you guys would simply dye them a different color or bleach the white parts altogether? I'm enjoying reliving my youth. :)

Why is my Novak faster?

I have a Novak 610 RV and a Traxxas XL-1 that I use on my RC10T3 and I've noticed the Novak is faster on the same car with the same fresh batteries (3K) NIMH packs. Both speed are maxed out as far is the throttle setting. Anyone else had similar results? Thanks.

I need a screw.....?

Does anyone know the size and count of all the screws needed for an "A" stamped RC10? Actually, I need the screw size for the chassis screws that attach the tranny to chassis, steering blocks, etc. I forgot the car at home and I'm 220 miles away. I'm in the valley where there is a Bolt and...

Re: Third Ebay Score!

Freak, I'm positive Bro. This auction was over on 12/18/10. The seller's name was yuuuup11. Maybe he had two identical cars up for sale? I think I got a good project regardless. Hope you and family have a save New Years.

Re: Third Ebay Score!

Freak, this is not the same one. This one came from "The People's Republic of California". I Le Mans motor appears to be in good shape. I'll keep you posted once I tear it down and give it a good washing.

Third Ebay Score!

I just recieved my latest project from Ebay. An "A" stamped chassis in great shape. It has a few minor scratches on the bottom and some minor parts need replacing, but they are minor to say the least. Here are a few pics before cleaning. I'll post some more after it gets a good scrub down....

Re: This is my second Ebay score

Hey Russ, I noticed that when I completed the setup. The wheels turn inward when the suspension is compressed. Hmm, back to the drawing board. But for now, I'm taking a two day break.
