Status: offline 		I just bought a xxxtcr and the rt5 as still reallly new when i got my car. Now that times passed i would take the r5t over any car. If theres parts support thats even better. As far as the brushless it depends on how much you wanna spend. you can get the tekin or the novak havoc. The havoc can be gotten for 150 while the tekin is 259 and than the 20 dollar usb adapter. Tekin seems to be the top quality esc and motor. There are lots of adjustments and from what ive heard they are very reliable. Good luck!

Status: offline 		Great truck. Very well behaved on the track. I am still running the box set-up and I love it. It is better than my MF2. The Tekin RS pro seems to be the go to ESC for mod. I am a budget racer and I use the Havok/13.5 combo. No complaints on it. GRB is fine of coarse. You will want a sensored system for racing. There are more and more motor choices every day. You might check out the electronic forum for more info on motors and esc's.

Good luck and enjoy!

Any pics?


Here is mine freshly painted before I started racing it. Just a simple paint job, but very easy to see on the track.

Status: offline 		give it a go first to see if you can dial it in to the track , if you feel its needed then i am sure a neat solution could be found , most people fit them after being told they need one and still dont have a clue what they actualy do.

Status: offline 		I bought a 7.5t Tekin RS-pro sensored ESC + motor and I was wondering how to gear? Everyone has 4.5-6.5 at mt local track and they all tell me they have hard time to handle the cars so I thought a 7.5t will be my best bet

Status: offline 		gearing depends very much on the grip levels and also on the size and layout of the track , i am not familiar with the well regarded Tekin system you have , i would check the manual for it and see if tekin suggest a start point for gearing, i use 7 : 1 final ratio with my buggy's running 5.5t system and every thing stays well within heat limits , although i do run on a technical grass track, for a bigger more open track i would go up to 6.5 : 1. take a few different pinion's and adjust at the track. hope this helps a bit.
