Beefing up a Tamiya Tiger I - 5/13/2008 1:25:40 PM

Status: offline 		I am starting my Tiger I soon and want to beef up the running. I do want to reduce the speed a bit (not all the way down to scale speed though) and definately want to increase the torque, but I probably want to go half-way between the stock gearbox (1:60 ratio I think) and the scale competetion gearbox (1:105 I think).

I would like to stick larger motors in and am open to different gearbox ideas.

What thoughts do you have and where do you think I should buy the necessary parts?

All help most welcome.

thanks

Noel
