[Kyosho Beetle Setup?]

Thanks for the advice!   

[Kyosho Beetle Setup?]

Just purchased a Kyosho Beetle.  Looking for Motor, ESC, Servo, and battery recommendations.  Want to make sure I'm not overpowering it.   My current thought is to put in the following:

Hobbywing Just stock 13.5T Brushless

Hobbywing XR10 ESC

Futaba S3010 Hi Torque Servo

Venom 7.2 Battery NiMH. 5000 mAH.

If you have reduced the size of the spur gear you need a bigger pinion. 32t spur is 6t smaller than the kit 38t. The smallest pinion you can fit is a 24t in the 18t position. 

Thanks for the advice @ThunderDragonCy!  Ordered a wild willy 24t pinion gear.  I'll give it a go.

@ThunderDragonCy I have a silly question being new to RC Cars.  I was able to get the 21T brushed motor you suggested with 18T pinion.  I also installed a 32t Spur Gear from wild willy.  So I tried hooking up the motor and it doesn't engage.  The motors works just fine when it's detached from the transmission.  Is there a little trick I'm missing here when attaching the motor?

What sort of gearing\transmission adjustments do you recommend with a 13.5T motor?

Thanks TurnipJF and Juggular!  Sounds like the 13.5t makes more sense.  Do the Speed Passion motors usually come with a Sensor cable?  I noticed that my Hornet kit didn't include one.

I just bought a Comical hornet and  I'm looking to speed it up.  Looking for to find a 13.5T motor that works with the stock TBLE-02 ESC.  Or do I need to get a new ESC and Motor combo all together?  Any recommendations?  I'm a noobie with little experience looking to experiment and have a little fun 

Looking at the following motor:

• Speed Passion Competition V3 Sensored Brushless Motor 13.5R with current TBLE-02 ESC. 
• Hobby Wing 38010204 Ezrun Max10 ESC with 3652SL G2 Sensorless Brushless Motor - Combo (4000Kv)

My Current Setup:

• Transmitter & Receiver = Radiolink RC4GS V2
• Servo = Futaba S3010 High Torque (HT)
• Batteries = Venom 7.2V 5000mAh 6-Cell NiMH Battery
