UltimateRC Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Ansmann Mad Rat and buy some decent electronics The kit is only 50 odd quid A lot of people hate them but they are good value for money and if you get some good hop ups for it eventually, you will have no problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arogon1235 Posted October 26, 2012 Author Share Posted October 26, 2012 but ive heard that the gears in the ansmann madrat strip easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltimateRC Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I haven't stripped one while I owned my Mad Rat or my Macnum. Even with a 9t brushless system in it. Lock the diffs, get the gear mesh right and your fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arogon1235 Posted October 26, 2012 Author Share Posted October 26, 2012 how about if i was going to run a 9000kv motor and run the motor on a 3s lipo would the gears hold up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltimateRC Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I've run 4370KV with 3s. Never tried a 9000KV... Shame there isn't a metal option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arogon1235 Posted October 26, 2012 Author Share Posted October 26, 2012 there is a metal idler gear availble but i might have to buy like 5 diffs and spurs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arogon1235 Posted October 26, 2012 Author Share Posted October 26, 2012 i know where to get all the upgrade parts from there all on msuk and i can make the car handle 9000kv motor and 3s lipo. well i think i can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ch!ef Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 you will need to run an all metal gearbox and the smallest tooth pinion you have and it porbably still handle well.. i wouldnt go any higher then a 6.5t motor in a 2wd buggy which is around 6000kv that motor you have will still be too much for 4wd on 2s.

ch!ef Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 like i said if you go for the ansmann try getting a full metal gear box if not it will not last longer then 5mins on what your planning on running. you might be better trying to get a 4wd it will take a slightly higher kv motor and will be able to go in a striaght line. i ran 6.5t on 2s in my rc10b4 when i had that and it was way to quick i had to turn the esc right down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juggernaut jims Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 You can also get a Kevlar spur gear and mines been fine on a 4000kv on 3s with all original gears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arogon1235 Posted October 26, 2012 Author Share Posted October 26, 2012 how does it handle at high speeds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggernaut jims Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I love mine it's cheap to fix and handles brilliantly I think but I have only a slash and a tt01 to compare it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si Coe Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 (edited) I'm not sure why I'm bothering saying this cos I get a feeling it won't be listened to, but I have been running 2wd 1/10ths for 25 years now so I really hope I know a thing or two about them...... This idea won't work. You are asking far too much of the tyres trying to put down a 9000kV motor as it is, and 3S is right out. I found a 6000kV 5.5t on 2S a handful in a B4 and that was with ultra sticky racing tyres which wore in no time. Rwd's are slippery at the best of times. The Madrat has decent handling even at speed, and the aerodynamics work well enough, but with a big motor if you even touch the steering under acceleration it will spin. Plus the gearbox can't take that sort of power - yes you can upgrade to all metal but there is a reason all the high end racing 2wds have plastic transmissions. Those back tyres can't put down that much power. Actually I wouldn't run a 9000kV motor in a 4wd 1/10th either - a 7700kV was too much when I tried it in my D4 (which was a Edited October 27, 2012 by Si Coe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltimateRC Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 ^^ Agree. Get the mad rat but put a lower kv motor in. The rear tyres are shocking on a 4370KV so they would be twice as bad on 9000!! I got some dirt hawgs from the front and rear and they held up quite well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arogon1235 Posted October 27, 2012 Author Share Posted October 27, 2012 ive actually had to change my mind on what car to get im going to get a touring car as a touring car can handle mor power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
