Re: Can't tell which is better for the DB-01 chassis

Re: Can't tell which is better for the DB-01 chassis

Re: Cougar 1 transmission

thanks for the input guys, it actually makes sense when i think about it, a simple 3 gear tranny would be hard to beat, especially for 540 racing

Re: Cougar 1 transmission

Re: tamiya astute

the way i think about it is the astute was the super astute's predecessor which was the predecessor to the dyna storm. each time they refined the chassis, (long front shock setup in the dyna storm and simpler hubs/arms arrangements in the super astute) and put in a better tranny, TTC then MDC. thoug...
