Status: offline 		My interest is essentially to stick a couple sedan wheels on it. I will probably only run it on asphalt. Maybe with some hard compound drift wheels maybe RDLogics/HPI super drift type so I don't roll the thing so much. I'd rather slide than roll I'd like to throw a mamba in it and enjoy its speed. I would also like to mount a Hot Bodies Minizilla body on it. Probably want to use some Speedway Pal 10mm offset wheels on it too. I hope that gives you an idea of what I want to do, just curious as to what you'd suggest.

Status: offline 		yeah if you are changing the body and wheels anyways there is no difference just the gearing rc18MT = 10/60

he said hes putting a mamba in there. He will have NO torque problems with 14/60 hell he could even but it up a notch or two. there is no reason to have the torque of the rc18mt unless your running stock motor.

Status: offline 		Hmmm are you sure? have you ever try it? I think not, its a very different gearing if we are speaking off brushless motors and brushed motors, A mamba 6800 would run very hot on 14/60 and mt tires, maybe to a dangerous level..

its not about power, its about heat and work the motor has to do, if u increase the size of the wheels u have to lower your gearings is a good rule of thumb
