Re: FWD-GT TOP SPEED CAR
Lookin' good! Did you carve out the shock towers too? If so, wow, nice job! Also id love to see that car run. Do you have any videos of it in action? Not yet. We got the muffler/pipe TIG welded a few weeks back, but either been busy with other stuff or had crappy weather when free time existed. Not ...

Re: FWD-GT TOP SPEED CAR
I knew the can was technically a 3s max. Guy I got the advice from when purchasing the combo ran his on 4s all the time with no issues at all. The 6s was a plan if the 4s doesn't achieve the speed I'd like. I honestly don't know much about these motors but I don't plan on bashing like some would in...

Re: FWD-GT TOP SPEED CAR
That's a pretty cool build! However, The plan is start on 4s and move up to 6s. 4S is gonna toast that can in short order, 6S even faster. Per a conversation with the manufacturer, those Castle 540 motors are designed for 2S, can handle 3S in lightweight applications. ESC is irrelevant. Part #.........

Re: 10T Chassis
Spare chassis tubs tend to turn into whole vehicles after some time. Fair warning.After I've built my truck and I'm bored, I might try to straighten it out.

Re: 10T Chassis
+1.race a new chassis and it'll match the original one sooner than later...
Even the hell-for-stout blue tub GT chassis get tweaked. These things take some serious abuse on the track.

Re: Rc10boi rc10gt
That's a lot of aluminum, Lobo. Looks nice, but my experience has been that adding so much weight drastically changes the handling characteristics for the worse. My suggestion to people wanting tough but still nimble GTs is to use alloy rear bulk heads, trans brace, arm mounts and hub carriers, RPM ...

Re: Got me a Prolite!
So I'm already wanting to change things out, just because it's me. lol. Truck already runs great on stock equipment & 3S, but I find myself thinking a 150A Hobbywing ESC and a Novak Ballistic #3506 3,400 KV 550 can running on 4S would make things really interesting. I expect it'll probably break...

Re: Got me a Prolite!
I just dont like SC4X personally. I am a 2wd guy. 2WD definitely requires more skill. Up until this year, all I ever ran was 2WD; RC10 buggies & RC10GTs. Then I got my Mega Baja and my OFNA Ultra LX comp and realized what a world of difference it makes to have 4x bashing out here in the country...

Re: Street fighter gets serious!
If you can get it to hook up it will fly... Honestly, traction hasn't been a problem. With the 3:1 final drive ratio, clutch shoes have been the issue. It needs to hit 121 MPH. If I can't do it with a Novarossi .28-7RT............then I'll do it with a pair of Novarossi .28-7RTs! At this point, I'm...

But with November being the wife's birthday and Christmas right around the corner I have to hold off... I'm sure you have a few hundred dollars worth of "junk" lying around. That's how I funded this one, not one cent out of pocket. RC parts and gun parts I had upgraded or sold off the hos...

Got me a Prolite!
So, despite my being a stadium truck and buggy guy, and a nitro guy at that, one simply cannot ignore the performance of the modern brushless short course trucks indefinitely. So I started selling off some stuff on eBay until I had the $342 to buy it from Omnimodels. It showed up yesterday, and so f...
