I've ran a Mamba 5700kv in mine with a 2s lipo with no problems:

A 5700kv still might be too much though. I'd stay around 4600 or lower just to be safe Only thing I reccomend for the tranny is the newer idler gear. It's made of delrin and can take more abuse. Same part#.
is there any thing between 4600 and 5700kv motors?...........i'm having to relearn every thing because things have changed so much since i was into RCing last

Yes:
LRP = 4700kv
Losi = 4800kv
Venom = 5200kv
There might be more but those are the ones I know of. I've never looked but there is a way to convert the Kv rating to a turn#.

Brusheless motors are rated in KV. You can get a Traxxas VXL System (esc & motor) for $149 at tower hobbies. Thats the cheapest "name brand" Brushless set-up I've seen. It's a 3500KV motor.
I have an RC10B2 (shelf display) that leave black tire marks everywhere. The pins on the tires are like pencils. These are the only tires that do this.
My preference is to keep the glued vintage tires on the rims. Is there a spray or sealant you...

Here's what I did to store my finished cars; cheap, looks great and keeps those tires off the ground...a bunch of dollar-store clear plastic containers, with strips of foam tape stuck on the tops. I second the suggestion to use 303 Aerospace...
saw these at a yard sale...look like rc10 but not pan chassis, what are these and are they of any value?

Traxxas Bullet. We don't do the antiques roadshow thing here, so for values check eBay
One thing I will say, the roll bar part of the body is the hardest part to locate on a bullet
I'm posting this pic from another forum since people here seem to know everything there is to know about the vintage stuff. What motors are these?

The LRP motor was a real power house in it's day.
I bought 2 of them when racing in the U.K from a hobby shop in a clearance bin. No wind just names like Killer & Mr Cool. So i opened her up to see it was a triple with 2 different color windings (...
I think it's a mid custom special, but I'm not sure. I did some trading for it and it has no stickers left on it to help me. Does anyone know, or know of a reference page to help? I've looked on here, but a lot of the pictures i find aren't up...

well, it turns out that I sold it to Wydraz :lol:
I am going to focus on my Losi project, then I'll be back to searching out an Optima, probably piece by piece. :!:
I have two KYOSHO Corporation buggies. How do I determine the model? They are the same cars, aluminum chasis, red shocks, battery mounts perpendicular to the chasis, weird steering set up, and no identifying marks.
