[8D]hi budie's . t9dragon thank's for the link do they handle better with the inferno tire's ? thank's budie's .

jaejw1

it is a bigger tire.. and the treads are made for racing... i prefer to use the proline crime fighters.. with the proline wheels.. which are made to withstand the totures of racing http://www.rcmart.com/catalog/produc...ducts_id=21720

Aren't ther more motors that have the power to run the vendetta besides the VR3? such as that baja motor for the Mini-t and that Reedy mini max modified motor?

jaejw1

you want a 400 can size motor.. anything smaller will get very very very hot.. the detta is too heavy and the gearing isnt motor friendly..

just go brushless..

i finally stopped the rear hub hinge pin from moving

with both my buggy and truggy i had a problem with the rear hub pins working htheir way out to the wheels causing the wheels to not turn as freely..
i took the pins out placed them in a dremel.. and turned the dremel on high.. i then used that metal cuting disc and made a groove on each end of the pin. and then i placed an e-clip on there.. and .... no more movement

one less thing i have to worry about while racing

[8D]hi budie's . darindotson you need to post some pic's wen you put it all together lol sound's like a nice buggy . thank's guy's .

jaejw1

buy the robinson racing pinion the 19t metric.. just incase you get the 3.2mm shaft.. the motor is a perfect fit.. you will notice a big difference between the two motors.. also is the esc set to lipo high or low..
are you running on dirt or carpet.... what tires?

darindotson

Well, I think I made a boo boo. I ordered the 2.3 mm shaft, since I have all these aluminum pinions laying around. But I have noticed absolutely no wear whatsoever on the aluminum pinions after running the GH 4700 around for about 3 months. I'm sure the Permax will shred it if it's as powerful as you say. Then again, I'm a gear mesh nut, so I always make sure they are meshed properly and lubed.

I'm running Yeah racing Mini Inferno wheels with Proline Crimefighters- they hook up really well. Had a great day at the track- raced 3 stock Vendettas, as well as 3 other Mini-T's. Brought home the wood, but then again, I was racing a bunch of kids. Of course, some of those kids were mine, and are good drivers!!

Thanks for all your help! The Permax should be here tomorrow- I'll let you know how it goes!!!

darindotson

Oh yeah, and my Quark 33 is set to Lipo Low.

darindotson

My pics are in the first post in the "Vendetta Gallery"- check it out!! Thanks!

how do you like that lag thrust the quark gives... lik someone pushes a button AT THE RIGHT TIME..lol..lol.. i love it

also if you are looking for a lil extra traction.. spray the crime fighters with wd40 and let them sit for about 10-15 minutes..
