i hardly remember what I ate today - its very likely I would take ****ty, border line neglegent care or a LiPO... so I guess to each their own

reading this thread I wonder. for a new tt02b out of the box with 17T pinion and 70T spur. should I start playing to achieve lots of speed and lots of tourqe? for example, use a 20T pinion with 68T spur for speed and a lightly tuned motor to compensate on the tourque department (its 3x the sliver can tourque) what do you guys think? anyone doing the same? thanks!

thanks everyone for your answer!!! you have been very helpful to me, I think I now understand the i need to go with Nimh.... thanks again

Hi all; for someone who is the occasional driver, is it worth moving to LIPO? it seems like its a hassle charging and discharging, low voltage cutoffs (i am suprt confused). I am used to NiMH where I dont really care about this stuff. are this disclaimers for real? i mean, I dont want to work for the battery i want the battery to work for me it would be nice to bump us the run time of the car though... thanks in advance

lightly tuned looks nice form where I am standing... I am a bit scared the torque would rip through the plastics of the car anyone have experienced this motor?

@Kowalski86 the esc that comes with the kit is https://www.emodels.co.uk/tamiya-45055-teu-105bk-with-bec-uk-code-90549.html generally speaking, how do I know if a motor fits this esc? thanks.

Also, can someone explain the numbers here? Of course rpm I know but some I don't understand.... Thanks!!!

Hi guys and thanks for the answers. I have a neo scorcher as is put pf the box I am building at the moment. I do have a set of bearings (not branded) and a aluminium shaft. The pinion is what you get on the box (I think 17) When I say budget I mean that is the car costs 130usd then it's not reasonable to buy a 50usd motor. Even the formal bearing set for 20usd seems unreasonable so I simply purchased bearings with the same dims as the set (5usd) I do want to increase speeds pf the out of the box motor... Should I also change pinions? Other brushed motor you think qualify for my needs? Thanks everyone!

Hi all; what brushed (yes brushed) motor would you recoomend as an upgrade for the standard out of the box 540J I am looking for a budget one that will give me extra speed (something that will make a difference like a 6+ mph increase but nothing balistic) doesnt have to be branded but hopefully reliable. note that I am not looking to change any of the other parts only the motor... thanks for your help
