[going LIPO - is it worth my time?]

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

[Gearing Question]

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 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.

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
