Would it be too crazy to put a brushless system ? even with only 2S Lipo and gear down and limit the speed from transmitter etc ....

Not sure if the brushed preference is to keep it safe or if it's to keep it vintage

I just got an email that my order just got shipped.

Any recommendations of electronics for this kit ? I was checking on the Reedy 540-SL4 motor and Reedy SC600-BL2 ESC. 15kg servo maybe ?

No idea which transmitter to get these days.

Thanks !

they are both 4 pole , esc says with 2s lipo it can handle up to 3900kv

so at this point the only differences are 3300kv vs 3800kv and reedy brand vs castle creations brand ?

Thank you for any help provided !

Hello everyone! I know this is a forum for mostly vintage rc10 but maybe one of you professional experts could help me ? I have a (maybe) simple question: a few months ago I bought a Team Associated 1/10 2WD RC10T4.3 stadium truck and still enjoying it a lot! Only modification I had to do was to cha...

Quick update guys:   I re-calibrated the ESC and speed went up from 20 to 25 mph  which is great news !  so thank you for the advice ! A different question now:  If I want to bump top speed from 25 mph to 30 mph,  re-gearing sounds like an option. Current  pinion is 18T but the motor manual says  19...

I agree with the others that 20 seems too slow and unlikely to be a gearing issue. As Lonestar suggested, I'd run through the ESC calibration again and make sure you're getting full throttle correct. A problem battery could also be the culprit, but you'll need to test with another known-good batter...

It just clicked, 18/87 is what I run on a boosted mod truck :lol: The 3300 according to the manual is a 4 pole motor which produce more torque, I'd say gear up.... I saw these combinations online from different people, but not sure which one to get and archive 30 mph instead of 20 mph. I don't real...

BTW here is a pic of my current gearing in case you see anything wrong ? Thanks !

Guys thank you SO MUCH ! for all your help ...

I'm taking the car to the store with me along with all these recommendations printed to try them with the owner.

I will let you know how it goes !

Hey guys tonight I did a speed test with a speedometer on a nice long straight flat pavement ... and only got a max of 20 mph with the 2S lipo battery.  Would this be too slow for a RC10T4.3 even with stock gearing ?  the motor barely gets warm after running for a long time full throttle.  I double ...

Thank you guys ! First of all I apologize I didn't realize this forum was more Vintage oriented so I appreciate even more all your help ! What I've noticed so far is I can run all day with the stock gearing "full speed" and motor barely gets hot, long run times (which I like) but getting a...

Hello everyone, I recently bought an RC10T4.3 stadium truck and I am extremely happy with it, it runs super smooth and stable. I was expecting a little bit more speed (just a bit more) but since it’s a RTR combo it came optimized with gearing for a 2S Lipo. I love the long run times but really would...
