  1. Dear @Redback Thank you ! I am from the USA living in Mexico City during COVID-19, shipping to Mexico has been a challenge. Found an interesting thread about ESCs; Arma Limitless Motor and ESC Question Cheers
  2. Dear @GMballistic Thank you for your guidance and suggestions, very much appreciated ! As you recommended I have ordered the Yeah Racing Tamiya TT-02 Adjustable Aluminum Motor Mount (Blue) ($26 with shipping) and the Tamiya 54500 RC Car TT02 High Speed Gear (68T) Set TT-02 Hop Up Parts OP1500 ($28 with shipping). Can you tell me more about using the 48DP gears ? I was not aware of the difference and did a search. What spur and pinion did you use for your speed run ? Thank you ! Stew Mack mentions, Robinson Racing (48DP) 49T spur and 48T pinion almost 1:1 Thank you for mentioning the 1/12th scale Serpent S120LTX (your PB 106mph on 3S, very impressive ). Also thank you for mentioning the 7700KV fake Castle motor, I was not aware of the motors. Cheers
  3. Dear @Yrkoon Thank you ! Cheers
  4. Thank you @Stormbringer Cheers
  5. Hi @James.S Thank you ! I see that you have a 124018. Have you changed your gearing ? I have a 124019 and have upgraded to brushless and would like to learn more about changing the gearing. I believe the stock gearing is 44T and 27T, I have tried to follow the QuadifyRC Ultimate Brushless upgrade Guide brought the 15T pinion gear. Cheers
  6. Hi All, I am upgrading my 124019 to brushless and would like to upgrade the spur and pinion for high speed runs. I have installed the 15 T Pinion Gear on the Racerstar 2445 3600kv Motor Senseless Brushless Waterproof installed the motor on the Motor Mount. But I don't think the stock plastic spur gear will last long with the 15T pinion metal gear and the stock plastic spur gear and 15T pinion gear seems to be slipping, I will open up to confirm. I am trying to follow the quadifyrc brushless upgrade. A couple of questions; 1. Is that correct to use the 15 T Pinion Gear on a Racerstar 2445 3600kv Motor Senseless Brushless Waterproof with stock Spur for speed runs ? 2. Do I need to change the plastic spur gear to metal ? I am using this motor mount; Thank you, cheers WL Toys 124019 build: 124019 $120 with shipping Flysky FS-GT5 Transmitter w/ FS-BS6 Receiver $91 with shipping GPS SkyRC GSM020 $63 with shipping HobbyWing QuicRun 1/16 Brushless WaterProof 30A ESC WP-16BL30 $33 with shipping Remo P6973 Rubber Tires and Wheel $29 with shipping Racerstar 2445 3600kv Motor Senseless Brushless Waterproof $17 with shipping Motor Mount $12 plus shipping 4Pcs Steel Front Rear Universal CVD Drive Shafts $12 plus shipping, need to install ZeckTeck Swing Arm Metal Reinforced Swing Arm Set $25 with shipping, great addition stops dog bones from popping out JX Digital Servo 17g Metal Gear $20 with shipping Pinion Gear $7 with shipping Total $429 with shipping Need to order: 3S Battery
  7. Hi all, I left on message for Stew Mac and I heard back; "Yeah the TT02 makes for a great starter to speed runs. Heaps of options and cheap spares. The esc was a Hobbywing 8bl150. But honestly I prefer castle esc. The mamba monster X or the older mamba monster 2 are both really good. Colt RC make some great Le Monds type bodies. A good motor combo would be the Mamba Monster X and castle 6900kv 1410 motor on 3s" I was surprised the Mamba Monster X is about the same price as the XR8 Plus. I would appreciate any suggestions, thank you !

  8. Dear @Redback Happy New Year ! Thank you for the message and the suggestions, very much appreciated ! Is there a build thread for your TT02 ? The Fastest Banzai looks like a fun project. In some ways I have more fun making the cheap cars into something and I learn more. Thank you for sharing. Very impressive ! Looks like you are using the XeRun XR8 Plus I was not aware of the HPI Maverick Strada or the HPI RS4 Cheers

  10. I would appreciate feedback, I am new to speed run cars Maybe 104001 ? 104001 $170 with shipping Body $50 XeRun XR8 Plus ($160 plus shipping and program card) Has turbo, 6S, and sensored Foam Tires $30 Power HD R12 $45 plus shipping CNHL Battery $100, 3S or 4S Gears $30 Total $585 I have not been very impressed by the WL Toys quality. Another option would be TT02 with similar electronics
  11. Hi All, I am new to the msuk forum just posted an introduction. I only started with RC in August but I have gotten the RC bug bad ! I have built a 124019 and enjoy researching, building and speed run testing. Would like a better 1:10 chassis, is there a "go to" $200 to $300 1:10 chassis for speed runs ? Thinking about $500 to $600 for the total build (plus transmitter). Chassis $250 Body $50 ESC $150 Servo $100 Power HD Battery $100, 3S or 4S Total $650 Thinking maybe 104001, but I have not been very impressed by the WL Toys quality Thought about LC Racing LC1085 ($319), seems like it would make a great entry level 4WD race buggy / basher, but would take lots of work to make into a speedrun chassis Maybe TT-02 I welcome other suggestions, thank you ! Cheers
  12. Hi All, Happy New Year ! I have gotten the RC bug ! August 15th 2021 I was at a local park and they were having an RC car race, knowing nothing I thought "looks fun and good hobby during COVID-19" and started doing research. Searching on "RC" quickly started finding cars, and quadcopters. Took a long time to start to understand the vocabulary LiPo, ESC, mah, brushless, FPV, KV. Literally spent the first week just understanding the vocabulary. Before August 15, 2021, I knew next to nothing about Radio Control (RC) cars or quadcopters. I have found a few forums that I like; https://www.tamiyaclub.com/forum/ and https://intofpv.com/ and https://www.rctech.net/forum/. Very nice communities of people ! I am 57 and fun for me to start to learn something completely new. I am from the USA and living in Mexico City during COVID-19, have found RC a great hobby during COID-19 although shipping has been a challenge. To be honest I enjoy the building more than the driving, fun for me to research equipment and building. So far; Cars (Flysky FS-GT5 Transmitter😞 TT-02 1999 Subaru Monte Carlo - Loved the build ! WL Toys 124019 with brushless motor - Enjoy testing and speed runs XQ2S - Waiting for parts to start building MST RMX - Have ordered waiting on parts (https://supergdrift.com/store/so-you-want-to-start-rc-drifting-2/ Super-G R/C Drift Arena blog has been great for learning about RC drift) Quadcopters (Jumper T Lite Transmitter) : Mobula6 - Need to practice more Tinyhawk S - Fun for flying in the house Tello - Enjoyed learning about DJI technology Battery Charger HOTA D6 Pro Smart Charger I found https://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/ forum looking for chassis information about building an inexpensive Speed Car, will post a seperate thread.
