Been a bit quiet, had a speed run last Sunday hit 83 again!

 

Now I have more information, I have 2 options:

 

1: New power system to push it to 100mph

2: Gearing conversion to MOD1 / smaller spur gear basically

 

Does anyone here know if there is a way to convert the Vantage to MOD1? (I know you can get 48p spur as an option part) or other more favorable gearing?

 

 

Any direction / tips would be greatly appreciated !

 

Oh and my buddy got 62Mph PB from 56mph (nothing changed except for I added the wings to his car) on the stock tyres, going to see if he can hit 70+ with them XD

Yes read up in the other thread, tldr you need to craft a 5mm bar into a drive shaft that will take the ring pinion, requires a dremel and lots of fine grinding work.
But is doable, another guy used 8mm bar as he used 8mm bore pinions and lathed his down.

Are you running 4s? i used hobbywing Xerun XR8 SCT on 4s and got 100mph on stock drive train with trx4 plastic spurgear it was paired with a Hobbywing Xerun 3660Sd D5.00 4300Kv G2 motor or a castle mmx 6s esc 2400kv motor.
