Popular Post TheWarden Posted February 4, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 4, 2023 Quite a fun build - bit tricky in places. Went with the Castle Mamba XLX2 and 2028-1100Kv combo. Now to find somewhere with a lot of space to try it out and see just how fast it can go Just waiting for the Castle B-Link so I can boost the BEC to 8.4v and get the most out of the PowerHD 65kg servo 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Noice. I had a renaissance with mine last year, really loved it. It has cable front brakes which make a huge difference to the stopping distance. I'd look for better rear tyres, those won't do much. What gearing are you on?

TheWarden Posted February 5, 2023 Author Share Posted February 5, 2023 Stock 14/57 gearing at the moment - I will changing that over time and yes, the tyres are top of the list to change - any recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Hostile MX is the usual go to, or used to be. Don't run them on road, you'll destroy 70 quids worth of rubber in short order. I run stockers up front, they're OK as it's a basher. With the 1100 motor, stock gearing is a good place to start. I'm on an old 780kv, so 17/57 works well on mine.

BashingBrian Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Got one when it released late last year, not run it yet but can't wait too.!! I went Max5/800kv combo with mine so I'd imagine on the stock gearing of 14/57 it will be slow as.... 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure I clocked 37 on 6S with 17/57. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
