I'll probably take some videos too when get out to play, depends on the weather and free time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin34 Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Typhon 3s tyres and 100k/500k/100k diff fluids and it drives really nice now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has an Arrma 3S power system in it and runs a 17t pinion. Top speed is 51mph and drifts beautifully with 30k diff oil front and rear. I also have the front shocks mounted on the inner most position on the a-arms as this gives a lot more steering control. Do you still own this?

I painted a new body for it in blue and it now has MIP driveshafts front and rear as the stock ones are fairly weak. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks good mate👍.I ordered one today and I also have an arrma 3s system sitting around to go in it.Apart from the 30k diff oils and mip's is there anything else that is worth doing?

The Traxxas aluminium motor mount is a very worthy upgrade especially if you do any jumping with the car as the stock plastic mount can let go of the gear mesh fairly easily and strip the spur gear. The stock ultra shocks are fine in my experience but the aluminium caps are recommended as the plastic ones can pop off and spill oil everywhere. Also, I suggest you get a decent servo with a high speed as a priority over torque, it makes a massive difference to the responsiveness and agility of the car. I always run my car on a car park lot so it’s running 600cst oil in the front shocks and 700cst in the rear. Both shocks are on the middle mount on the shock tower and fronts are on the second to most inner hole on the front and outer hole on the rear arms. If you run the Arrma 3S system, I suggest a 15t pinion as it will run 50mph all day long without overheating. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks very much for all the info mate.From what I have seen on videos I will need to upgrade to the slash slipper clutch and spur aswell as the stock rally ones melt very easily once brushless.
