Rising Fighter base Super Hornet project

[Jonesy924 137]

So I've started on my Super Hornet Project, I loved the Ultra Hornet by @ThunderDragonCyThunderDragonCy but this won't be as awesome as his creation

Couple of questions I need to ask before I start buying parts... 

Gear Ratios - I've been on tamiya base looking at different gear sets that fit into the Hornet/GH2/Super Hornet gear case 0005276

Super Hornet is 14.7/1

Hornet is 8.2/1

This info is from tamiyabase

I'm planning on using the 540 silver can then going on to a 540 Torque Tune.... Which ratio is best for the beaches etc? 

Next up is the wheels, I'm planning on buying the orange wild one wheels from JC racing using 54896 front tyres and 53059 rears, are these 100% correct fitment?

The shell and spoiler got keyed and a coat of plastic primer last night

Edit: As has been pointed out below, the Rising Fighter has a DT-01 gearbox on a Grashopper 2 chassis.

Hy, 

Die Felgen passen 100% auf den Rising Fighter. 

Das DT-01 Getriebe lässt nur ein 17 & 19 Zähne Ritzel zu. 

Ich fahre alle meine DT-01 mit Torque Tuned und 17er Ritzel 

Gruß Zippo

I'll have to translate this 🤣

The rims fit 100% on the rising fighter 

The DT-01 gearbox only allows a 17 & 19 tooth sprocket

I drive all my DT-01s with torque tuned and 17 sprockets

Sorry, for that, I'm terrible at languages 😬

[Zippotech 63]

OK, now in very bad English! 🤣

The Rims will fit to 100% on the  Rising Fighter. 😉

The Rising Fighter use the DT-01 Gearbox. You can only use a 17 or 19 Pinion on it. 

I drive all off my DT01 with a Torque Tuned engine and a 17 pinion. 

Greetings Zippo

Now better? 🤣

I'm using the Hornet gear casing etc not the DT-01 for this project @Zippotech

I'll be fitting a 540 with 18t pinion as discussed above 

Thanks

OK, mein Fehler! 

Ich dachte das die Basis ein Rising Fighter ist. 

Sorry!

@Jonesy924 - I guess the white isn't the last colour going onto the body and wing, but it looks good! As much as I like the blue of the Rising Fighter, it's always nice to see something else.

Sorry! 

It is, the Rising Fighter is just a Grasshopper 2/Super Hornet chassis with a DT-01 gear box mate

No that's plastic primer mate, I'll use automotive black paint, most likely have in my shed somewhere 🤣

@Zippotech

Have a read of this thread and you'll get what I'm attempting to achieve... Well 50% of it 🤣

Project update

I've bought a brand new hornet gearbox kit, orange JC racing wheels and rear 12mm hex adaptors, front and rear tyres. Still to buy Decals, Cvas and electrics

What I need to find out is what 3D axle brace to use with the Rising fighter/GH2 chassis mated to a Mk1 Hornet gearbox?
