How to make my RC faster...
Hi are there any ways I can make my Stock E-Firestorm go faster without upgrading the motor or ESC? Ive heard a lot about changing the gearing, but what gearing should i get to increase the speed? And also do LiPos increase the speed or just the run times?
many thanks

RE: How to make my RC faster...
If you increase the pinion size the truck will be faster but the motor and esc will run hotter. I would not recommend going this route. Your next option is increased voltage. Going from a 6 cell to a 7 cell pack will make it faster but it will weight more. I would recommend you go to a 2S lipo. The voltage is only rated at 7.4V but the voltage does not drop as much as a NiMh pack. Really good NiMh packs actually run around 7 volts under load. Even cheap LiPo packs will maintain 7.5-7.8 volts under load so they in effect act like a 7 cell pack without the weight.
