14.4 volts.... stealth vs 6gear??

[longboardnj]

im making a chassis to run 14.4 volts should i use a stealth or a 6gear trans ???

the real question is..................... why would i want to use a 6 gear?

use a stealth.

I agree(for whatever that's worth). A 6 gear could handle it, but if you're gonna put
that kind of power to the ground the extra drag would kinda defeat the purpose.

This is like one of those trick questions like...

"So what hurts worse, shooting yourself in the foot with a 22 or a bazooka?"

use a stealth.

i was almost set on using the stealth but then i thought about a few things... i thought of the people that ran brushless lipo and wrecked the stealth trans/diff... is the stealth going to be strong enough??is the 6 gear strong enough?? if this is going wreck a trans i rather wreck a $20(on ebay) trans then an $80 trans..plus i didnt think the extra drag of the 6gear would matter.. i have ran high volts on txt1,super blackfoot,and stampede,never a stealth or 6gear ..figured people hear ran lots of power (mod motors,brushless,lipo) to 6gear and stealth trans. just wanted to know they reacted

If everything is set right you should be fine either way. If anything is too loose it will wear that part out in a hurry. What kind of esc/motor are you running? If it has any kind of punch control setting put it to 80-100% control. It takes just a bit of strain off and helps the car take-off smoothly. You will not notice much difference in power. It still blisters off the line. You can only take off as strong as your traction will allow anyway. A good rule of thumb when running high power is to let the tires spin instead of anything else. It's better to wear out tires than your drivetrain. IMHO

A 6 gear isn't that strong. It wouldn't put up with that much power. unless it had a 48P Thorp Dirt Burners in it. And you can still get parts for a Staelth from towers. You can't get anything for the 6 gear.

Just something to think about --- back in the day we used to wear out 6-gear trannys running stock motors and 6-cell 1200 packs pretty regularly, and haven't heard of that ever happening with a stealth.

that's probably a bad idea unless you like doing donuts, or it's a drag car, or you're just trying to break parts

will see ...it worked on my txt-1 and super blackfoot..
