amellor03 Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 I'd go for a sensors combo can be got very cheaply from hobbyking. A track star 10.5t with a x car 45a esc will go well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amellor03 Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Ye should be fine and brushless is different to brushed a 10t brushless is probably 19t brushed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amellor03 Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 There's so little strain on the drivetrain because of the no grip tyres that you can get away with alot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zombiedrift7 Posted December 3, 2012 Author Share Posted December 3, 2012 They are cracking looking shells I never intended on getting an ae86 but it was a bargain and I like the paint job. Was scouting round the attic this morning and found my old robot wars and wrestling bits (barrells, cones, figures etc.) so might have a laugh with a video at some point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonysmini Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I stuck an Ezrun 13t in my RS4 rally (very similar chassis) it was great, suited the light weight car perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombiedrift7 Posted December 6, 2012 Author Share Posted December 6, 2012 Cheers tony. I'm definitely considering it for next year just going to have some fun learning for the time being. I'm picky when it comes to precision so if the handling isn't the way I want it I will be meddling with it a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zombiedrift7 Posted January 1, 2013 Author Share Posted January 1, 2013 They'll be up later, need to pic up a pc tower i can't upload from this tab. Couple of accidents earlier, cracked the front, side and the wheel popped off loved it though can't wait to get out again! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombiedrift7 Posted January 1, 2013 Author Share Posted January 1, 2013 The tower is plugged in but I needed to order a longer bloody internet lead so the pics wont be up until the weekend, which means there'll be more pics to go up in one go! May use the scooby shell as it is for bashing, one more crash with the ae86 and it'll disintegrate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
