Hi I have an original stadium thunder and this came with a 13t pinion gear and a rs540 black sport tuned motor. I want to upgrade the motor however in the instructions do not give an option for any other size pinion to be used. Can I put in a 27t dirt tuned motor?. Also the standard rule I thought was to use a pinion gear two teeth below the motor so for 27th this would be paired with a 25t gear. With this rule in mind why would tamiya use such a low gear for that motor?. Also if I put a brushless 15t motor in could it handle it and again what pinion would you use? Thanks

hello. tis i, beefy. i have a question. i've been contemplating what to do with the bargain TA01 chassis i recently acquired. i've had a stadium thunder body and decals just collecting dust which i can't seem to even give away, so i was thinking of using it on the TA01 as a way to kill two birds. not literally. birds have nothing to fear. unless they are a tender and juicy chicken. so the question is - does anybody know, or have both and can compare, or know where the info is on whether or not the stadium thunder body will be a suitable stand-in for the F150 baja body? it looks to be a similar wheelbase and other than the fact that the stadium thunder seems, and i cannot lie, to have a big butt. i can't deny i don't like it... but maybe it'll grow on me. i search around and can't seem to find all the needed info. sometimes dimensions and wheelbase are easy to find, sometimes not.
