Ya know I am wondering the same thing, there must be chart for this stuff, or some sort of formula.

Here is my current setup, its a parking lot fun car

TC3
reedy ti mod 19t
novak super rooster


My new Motor
Trinity P94 8T Quad
LRP Quantum Pro Reverse
LRP Phaser


I got the motor, phaser, and am waiting on the ESC, I have no clue whats gonna happen, this is only my second buildup and I know nothing about gearing.

I want crazy high speeds but dont wanna wait 10 minutes for it to start moving either. Need to find a happy medium and I know it needs to be done with gearing.

i think with the stock gearing it should fly around 60 mph probably ... i think... maybe u should call a hobbie shop they will give you a pretty acurate speed with your car

I think 60 is about what I'm gonna shoot for, at least until I get a better radio.

My current setup is a nice airtronics, but its a.m. and I'm not too sure on the range.

who wants to get goin 75+ and lose their car, lol
