RE: Brushed upgrade
"16 Turn Double 540 Brushed Electric Motor" I think it's something to do with how the motor is assembled. Either way it's 16t which will be slower than the 12t, but it's all up to the speed you're looking for and the price.

RE: $500 Budget For RTR basher
[quote]ORIGINAL: TheKennyKiller I REALLY think the OP should wait for the Thunder Tiger MT4 G3. If you had no luck with the 3 hobby shops you went to than why bother dealing with them in the future even if it is just for parts, order the TT from Tower and get parts from them as well. Sorry if my previous post seemed overly negative but when the common denominator is yourself you sometimes have to wonder why, at least the hobby stores said they would order stuff in for you if you'd like them to. I've never really seen the hobby shop as an advice giver, it often pays to do your research before you go in. [/quote] Probably won't be a problem because the MT4 won't break anyways haha..

RE: Brushed upgrade
I've been having lots of fun with my stock, brushed Sprint 2 running on nimh. I assume that being belt driven and on-road it is geared a bit higher than an SCT, but the 15t is fine for running on-road in relatively compact areas. Even with 15t, I feel like a bad crash could break something but more likely the body will take the impact. Any motor 15t-12t or less should be fine, and really you can't go wrong with a brushed ESC on NiMh... as long as the ESC has the functions you want (Reverse, waterproof etc) and a good price it should be fine.

HPI Part number 7184 is the only one being produced, however it has a long wheelbase. What car will this be going on? You could: Extend the cars chassis Cut the wheel arches closer together Use the split grille decals and such on a similar available muscle body Depending on the vehicle, switch chassis to use the Kamtec Body Chop up the McAllister Body

RE: RC Drift noob
12t would be plenty of fun. I have my grip car running 15t brushed and for messing around on the street it's all the power I need. The Yokomo is actually ones of the few shaft cars that can be CS'd, partially due to their drifting design and popularity in Japan, hence more option parts. Yep, for drifting you want the rear to spin faster. As I recall, underdrive/overdrive is just the way the gears are changed. Underdrive makes the front spin slower whereas overdrive makes the rear spin faster.

RE: RC Drift noob
Well, we've never actually been there but we do have citizenship :P 12t sound just about right, assuming you're not building this to be "competitive", just fun. is the chassis the belt driven one or the shaft driven one? Here's the gears I was talking about: http://driftmission.com/guides/yokomo-cs-gears-guide/ I was looking at the Yokomo gears there. I'm not sure if it's set up 50/50 front/rear on the power distribution, but those will overdrive the rear wheels and make it so you can actually counter-steer like a full-scale car, full left while moving right and such. I think you might already be running a front one-way: [quote] The kit also provided the parts (less diff balls) to make a front diff if you didn't want to run the front one-way. [/quote] I don't use lipo myself (Although I've got one in the mail) however I believe you need to check if the ESC has a voltage cutoff/LiPo compatibility listed. You can attach an external voltage cutoff if it doesn't.

RE: RC Drift noob
Anything from 7t-17t should be fine for drifting, the lower the turns the faster the motor. All up to your budget. Servos, digital or metal gear it doesn't matter too much on a lightweight car. a 5000mah NiMh battery will last the longest but if you go lipo you can get higher MaH. As far as your chassis, in the future you might want to lock the rear diff, switch out the gears and maybe improve the steering angle. By the way, my family's from Cork :)
