IMO you're blackfoot should become a stock runner and you should get another car that u want to be a basher. id="quote">id="quote"> Wats a RUNNER & IMO?

[:I] *** there is no proven stat as a max motor turn... just a matter of (1) if you have the ability to control it, (2) if the motor won't overheat & melt the plastic and (3) if the diff holds up - you can put anything you like in it. What's the lowest turn your ESC can go, btw? [8)] id="quote">id="quote">Sad to say My Sanwa BL RACER is a big mistake the lowest is 18T. Wat happens if I go lower? My ESC will burn? But at 18T my ESC is not hot at all?Y? Should i just get a Trinity 18T or get a Kyosho 11T motor? Pls advise. I m even thinking of selling my ESC.Sob!Sob!

I c. I get it!!!Thxs! So wats d max motor turn for this BlackFoot?So far my Kyosho AP36 motor is 18T, can it take a few less turns?Before I buy a new car?

Hi!I m a BlackFoot owner too I m using a Le men AP36 motor its 18T. But I m thinking of a faster motor but most likely i hv to change the gearbox to either Super/King BlackFoot's. Keep in touch my email is mclan@mollymail.com

ooh no!I just brought my ESC. I dun think i want to change it. So is there any other motor thats as fast or 2nd to this brushless system? Should be cheaper rite?

Hi!I wld like to buy a LMT 4200 brushless motor for my BlackFoot as many ppl in this site has advise me. But I know my BlackFoot's gearbox is not bullet proof & my Sanwa ESC is only 13T or 17T. Will it drain alot of my batt?I m using Tamiya 1400mah. Was thinking to upgrade to Sanyo cells 2400mah or 3000mah. Any advise?

Very typical of 1:1 ppl who buy SUVs too... they can't decide whether to get a peoplemover, offroader or sportscar so they buy a SUV that could do everything but does nothing 'well'.

But weight is much lighter.Wat do u guys think? id="quote">id="quote"> My friend, i have come across a few of the topics you have placed on the forums. It seems to me that you are not quite pleased with your car/bought the wrong type of car. The mods you talk about are very drastic![:0] Please forgive me if I am mistaken[] How about buying an affordable stadium truck like the Duratrax Evader ST? It comes with a full ballbearing set, 20x1 motor, ESC and a Futaba pistol-radio for much less than $200 (I ordered mine from tower hobbies $169.99 + $40 postage to Greece). Stadium-trucks are halfway between moster-trucks and buggies, combining both worlds.[] Just a friendly suggestion from a guy who's been there... Thanks for your time[^] id="quote">id="quote"> Hi!Its not I brought d wrong car but this truck was brought for my daughter. but in the end i got hook n started to upgrading the truck. Now the truck is almost at it peak except for a even better motor (I m using a Le men AP36), Better gearbox(From Super BlackFoot) Suspension arms, & Sanyo cells. Well I like this antique truck but problem is many things starts to breakdown & parts are hard to replace. So i made my own using light alloys. I dun want to buy another truck not at the moment. i find it very challenging building & custom upgrading. I just post & learn from experts like u. C wat I can still do with this truck. Till theres nothing more I can upgrade then I will get another. If I will to buy I may just buy a F1 on road car. Just upgrade abit wow!It can beat almost any car. Cheap & fast!! I like Super tough cars or super fast cars well its quite extreme. Thxs! For ur advise.
