I just bought a brushless setup for my RC18t and I was wondering what your opinions are on setups.
It is a Tekin Mini Rage ESC and a Castle CompetitionX 8000KV motor. I know thats high KV but its what came with the package.
What gearing do you suggest? I have regular sized foam wheels right now but may go to 1/10 scale to get some extra clearance.
Also I was looking into 7 cell packs. Will a flat pack fit in the stock chassis? I was told yes but from looking at some pictures I dont think it will.
Remember that the lower the T count the faster the accleration will be but lower top end........a bigger pinion will give you slower acceleration but higher top end. You just need to find that balance.
Well the stock spur should hold up.......just make sure you get more spares in case that part goes down. And you might want to stock up on input gears and diff gears as well.
Oh yes thats a good idea... what do you think about going with steel gears? Seems that I can buy just the gears themselves for fairly cheap. Diff gears that is....
