They all said that they were running 2C or 3 c batteries with the posted speed. While the rustler has an esc that can handle more amps, my understanding is the motors draw is lol that matters. What is different about the rustler 's engine that at a Lowe kv is faster than the others? Is it just overa...

I have been reading up on the Rusterl and have taken note has it really seems to be a platform people use to go fast in a straight line. I was looking at the RCCA issue here : http://www.rccaraction-digital.com/rccaraction/february_2014?pg=68#pg68 with a truck shootout and with a 2C and 3C LIPO, the...

Thank you for doing that for me, pretty interesting. I will have to tinker with it (once I get a LIPO and stop using a 25 year old NICD that last 3 minutes :lol: ). I am not sure how many turns the current engine in there has (I cannot find it using google). My question is, wouldn't the ideal pinion...

Oh yes, I guess that would make sense. Very close to 80 mm....maybe slightly larger if they balloon out when spinning. One set are road tires and the other are low profile spikes. Both virtually identical in size.

Thanks for the information/replies! What I still don't understand yet is why would I go with a higher turn (slower spinning) motor on the Raider than the Ultima? If you can let me know a car's transmission gear ratio, spur gear size and the diameter of the tires, I created a spreadsheet that can ca...

Enjoyed the post!

So those scorpion tires, are they from the 2014 Scorpion? At some point, I am going to need some new tires for my Raider (turbo) too and I like those.

http://studio68.no/rc/default.asp?id=1530 Sorry if this is a repost but I just found this link and I thought if you guys hadn't seen it yet, you would really enjoy it! So if I understanding things after skimming this, the winning car was supposed to be an Ultima but it was a heavily modified Ultima ...

Got the Ultima working today..... put a motor in it and 1 of the batteries still hold a charge 25 years later! It only ran for a few min but ripped pretty good for some drifting fun. Cannot wait for some new LIPOs in it! Do the gears need any lube or do they run dry? The Raiders motor seems to be to...

Depingus, how much did the new axles/wheels tires and such cost? Are you running on the stock old MSC and brushed motor? I think the front tires on both cars are OK for now but the backs are flat spotted from sitting so long. I have another set that looks OK (they were not installed on a car). It l...

Thanks for the information/replies! What I still don't understand yet is why would I go with a higher turn (slower spinning) motor on the Raider than the Ultima? Generally speaking, the lower number of turns in a brushless motor, the more powerful it is. So I figure the Raider is less able to handl...

Thanks for the information/replies! Wow, Coelacanth, your car looks amazing! Very nice! What I still don't understand yet is why would I go with a higher turn (slower spinning) motor on the Raider than the Ultima? If the gearning on the Raider is shorter (it doesn't go as fast per RPM), wouldn't it ...

Hello everyone. My name is Brian and I am from Delaware. I have been looking around at various forums and a lot of you guys seem to know a lot about Kyosho cars! I have been out of the hobby for 20 + years but am looking to get back in. When I was a teen, I had a Big Brute, a Turbo Raider and my dad...
