Motor = 27 turn monster stock pro

Pinion (size) = 27-35 - i like 30T the best

Batteries = 1700 zapped from blind

ESC = GM V4R

Type of micro servo = HPI dual link mount with hitec hs81MG

VCS shock (Please specify setup, oil, spring, etc) = 30wt with silver spring and blue thumb adjuster cranked down

Add more here for other hop ups i didn't list = hpi rear ball diff, GH hobby front ball diff, GH alu front pulley, GH upper mount, TRC foams (want to try the superwide foam mod), blinds supersize front foam bumper, purple body mounts, GH alu shocks (with hardest spring set + o-ring for ride height), deans plugs, hitec 3 channel FM reciever MX-3 transmitter, bolink truck body

in the lobby of my movie theater (tile floor) i can spin all four tires at any time at any speed - picture it driving in a large circle sideways (perfect drifting, and i dont chew through tires every run) - the motor gets hot before my pack wears out

Motor = Reedy Krypton 7t single

Pinion (size) = 27t

Batteries = 4x sc1700

ESC = GM Purple

Type of micro servo = Micro server broke - Futaba FP-S132H servo

VCS shock (Please specify setup, oil, spring, etc) = Gold spring, 20wt oil

Add more here for other hop ups i didn't list = Lots. Although I will say the GH one way II isn't strong enough to handle this big of a motor.

i bought a front one way - never liked it - no brakes - didnt like it with a speed 300 and im SURE i wouldnt like it with the 540 - unless i was on a HUGE oval course where i didnt brake at all

on my rear ball i have to tighten it down every run - thinkin about the losi thrust bearing - i like the way mine performs but it loosens up

This setup is still in the works:

M2.0 Conversion Chassis
19T Chameleon Pro
27T RRP pinion
6 Cell CP-1700 Blind pack (somewhat modified)
GT-7 ESC
HS-255MG Mini Servo
VCS shock w/ 25wt and Blue Spring
Novak XXL Rx
HPI Rear Ball Diff
GH Al Ball Diff II
GH Al Front Universals
GH Al Steering Blocks II
GH Al Pulley

Hey Dan,
How did you get your center cells to stay in place with the 225 servo. I am using the same servo and the cells slide around b/c the center plate doesn't lock down on them.

that's really hard to say I don't really race them, I just have fun with them!!

The EXO is really nice to look at, its pretty much all blue aluminum and carbon fiber, and I have some nice blue headlights and red tail lights to install this week :O) can't wait till the EXO 2 comes out.... will have to swap chassis.
*L* or build another car

I think for looks, the Ratsass will be the nicest, when I get my decals done up for the GT-1 body :O)

I really love the 540, I could get rid of them all, and just keep the 540's MORE POWER :O)

sorry to have to ask this, but i dont have my 540 working yet and haven't had a chance to run numbers. so what would happen if i was trying to run a 13 turn motor and like a 15 tooth pinion? is that even gonna be possible esp since i see most running between a 25-35 tooth... thanks

That combo is not possible with our kit. However if it were, you probably would not see any gain over a stock micro.
if you go here (http://www.danmarx.org/micro/motors.xls) and download the speed calulator you'll be able to plug in all the numbers you want and get a very good real world idea of how fast you can go.

one question, why would you want to use a 15 tooth pinion on a 540, most people almost double that( 29 or 30 tooth) and are very very happy with the performance.

well good luck, I hope this helped.

Yeah, i realized today that my thinking was in reverse and that that particular setup would prolly produce torque out the a$$, but topend would be about that of a stock motor. I am sure I could in some form or fashion make that work.... cuz i havent bought a kit from you guys even though they are sweet. my first option is gonna be to design my own and see how close I can get to a 1:1 ratio...i know i can gear to that, but might get a run time of a couple of minutes :D . i also found those calculators earlier before i read the post, but i do appreciate the advice. Thanks
