i fixed up the suspension today and the front suspension arm, gave it a clean and set up the camber, tuns nice and smooth, will be doing a gps speed run for ya tomorrow any requests for videos, pictures or anything similar let me know, ill be bumping this for the next 5 days

Here's a few pictures of my very budget set up, some detailed ones in there XD

I have 22.3 mph (giver or take 1mph) on the gps speedo I want to increase this, i understand that can be done by increasing the pinion size, i have a 21T pinion in at the moment, what could i increase it to without risking any electronics?

added info instead of a "bump" ....RM

[Rover Man]

You dont have to edit your first post to add new info and then add a bump post.

Just put new info in a reply.

[justgreatsam]

Okay sorry, I'm learning from my mistakes though

[Juggernaut jims]

I run a 22t pinion and installed a lipo battery and that instantly increased the power 2x than nimhs. Otherwise what limit is on the esc? Otherwise upgrade the motor

[justgreatsam]

I'm on my limit (12t) but thanks I'll order a 23t and a 22t pinion

[Juggernaut jims]

I'm ran a 19t clash and was getting 32mph out of it. Pretty much standard apart from the lipo and full ball raced.

[Jumper]

the battery in one of your pictures doesn't look very powerful, 2000mah nimh? if you had a lipo 4500mah then it should go quite a bit faster if your esc is lipo compatible. if it isn't then these are ment to be good http://www.ebay.co.u...=item33687566a5

[justgreatsam]

im waiting till april 20th (my birthday when i will be going brushless!

[Juggernaut jims]

Before getting brushless I would advise going lipo.
Lipo is the key to unbridled power.

[forbs]

Yeah I would advise buying the little bits now then its not as much as a shock to the bank when you go brushless.

get a lipo or 2

then in a few  weeks charger and the appropriate connector

don't forget a cheap metal safe with some shallow sand and holes drilled in it to store the lipos.

have fun

[justgreatsam]

its a good job i already have a safe! so for lipos how much speed increas could i expect, and if i go up a tooth or 2 on the pinion

[Juggernaut jims]

It gives more punch and will give instant power where as nimhs run out faster and tend to loose there oomph a lot faster.

An if you go up a pinion it would be noticeable it was on the mad rat bit slower off the line but a just kept going.
