I'm rebuilding an old 10T with my boys(4 and 6). I want to go brushless with it and was wondering if a 21.5 turn would have too little power. They're both already driving RCs. They run a 17.5 now without problem in a buggy. I just came across a good deal on a 21.5 and thought it might be ok. Any thoughts?
21.5 is around RS-540 speed. I thought it was a good fit for my 4 year old. One thing I noticed (at least for my kids) is that if you reduce power, they don't seem to notice and have just as much fun and you won't have to fix the car as often.
RC10 Short Arm | Novak Tempest ESC | Tamiya Torque Tuned 25T | Savox 1258 | Stealth Trans w/ Exotek Slipper Eliminator (geared 24/81)
RC10B3 | HW Just Stock Club Spec | Reedy 13.5 | Savox 1258
13.5 turn or 17.5 turn brushless for JRX2 upgrade?
What would you go with? Also I was thinking sensorless for my first brushless.
But a fair priced well performing ESC with reverse lockout that can do both sensor or less is what I'd be looking to...

My son's flysky came with the cable, you shouldnt have to purchase it separately. I need to hit their site again, I havent seen the GTB3C yet, no need to look :)
Word on the street is maybe as soon as next week for the new 120A speedo.
I am getting back into the hobby after 25 year hiatus. I am giving my daughter a sc10 (brushed rtr) and I thought it would be great to go to the local track, short corse with many tight turns, and run my old Kokomo. After reading up...

Thanks for the replies. I'm going with a trinity 13.5t and see how it goes. I have to wait until Christmas before I can tear her apart. Have to hide this car from my daughter so she doesn't suspect anything.
I put a Turnigy 2C 4200mAh shorty lipo in the Raider today after a little encouragement from my Dremel. Wow, what a difference from a 25 year old NiCd! It was actually pretty quick (as was the Ultima with same battery when the diff was working). It...

I agree the numbers are confusing and don't tell the whole story, RPM isn't the best way to measure the actual power of a motor. I do know that I replaced a 23t brushed motor with a 17.5 brushless, and the power was similar. 10.5t may be stretching...
Just wanted to get a feel from you guys what you think the best overall gearing would be for a 17T and 19T mod motors? Im only really bashing the truck on asphalt and some dirt. I am using Stealth trans with B4 slipper. Let me know what you think....
whats the turn of this motor, its a BoLINK motor and says Yokomo on the end of the can
heres a picture:

it looks to have four amatur stacks and says SP on the can were the shaft comes out and where the pinnion is, i dont know if this means anything. where and how do i look to see if it has bearing and bushings?
The tracks I run on are medium to large and host wide class ranges.

How's your driving? Sometimes slower is faster, if you know what I mean.
I find 8.5t brushless to be terrifyingly fast in a 2wd buggy, but I know many run them. I suspect that's close to the practical limit. If your esc has a throttle limit, you...

All the garage sales I go to are garbage sales. :lol:
i was wondering if anyone knew what size turn buckles to get for the rc10 gold pan buggy that has rpm arms. i want to get associated titanium sence there blue but idk what lengths. Also what length shocks do i get? My car has carbon fiber shock...
