Awesome I'm guessing with the 13t pinion on 2s I was getting around 20mph tops it handled great in the corners but there was no top end speed. It's turning into a learning curve which is what I wanted from it.I thought 2300kv was ok for the motor and a 120a esc would be ok as a starting point.will soon find out

How much you got left to do on yours. I still need to up the pinion and up the battery. Video I was running 13t pinion on 2s

Had a pretty good first day 3 hours later and I almost lost the car luckily it only ended up being a battery strap and the battery managed to pull it out before it was too late

Just ran my first 3s and now it's getting fun.don't think I'm going to use 4s but will have a play with a couple of pinions now.will post a short vid as soon as it's uploaded to compare the difference

Try it on 4s mate it will be a revelation im sure.

 

You just need to be a little more gentle with the trigger finger, but also having that speed at your fingertips for when you do need it will be nice as sometime you do just fancy a blast.

 

What KV motor you running it on? (I dont think I have seen it on the thread)

 

I run my Hyper ST on 4s with a 1900kv motor and it does about 45mph which is more than enough for bashing, I am currently looking for a 6s capable setup though for some speed runs, should be fun! :deviltongue:

Haha.sorry for late reply forgot my password.pretty sure it's 2300kv 120a esc guys I go bashing with think on 3s it's fine infact they were shocked at how well it goes. I've now upped the pinion to a 16t and for now it's fine.I want to replace the diffs before I go for more
