Carabidae

Just found the Xray T3 2010 kit at a local shop, I wasent really looking for any specific model of the kit so I went with it.
Now, I'm a little confused on which brushless system to go with. I found the Hobbywing 7700kv, Castel Mamba max pro 5700kv. With the lack of options on brushless systems and radio controls, I decided to order them online, for cheaper prices and more options.
I would like some recommendations.
Thank you.
PS: I would like a high speed touring car for my daily use and parking lot racing

Carabidae

Since i had many recommendations/suggestions.. I went with these


I had some problems with the suspension settings, the shocks wont rebound. I tried filling the many times with no use, also used other kind of oil than the supplied one in the kit.
Also, the camber/caster alignment needs some works. Went with recommended settings but the right side tires have toe in compared to the left side. The motor is 5700kv MMP, Futaba 3 channels.

drove the car today for the 1st time. I used a 3S Lipo, 29T pinion with the stock spur 84T.
It is surprisingly slow for what I had in mind. My Firestorm is much faster. It wasent a real test drive, since it was a narrow street with many cars parked left and right, Ill take her tomorrow for a real test in an open space and see for myself.
By reading here and there, many mentioned the use of a 64P gears for a better ratio.
any recommendations?

on another note, I finally settled on a body.

It was a mess the black spray wasent spray right. the color went all over the body and out of the borders I set. Anyways, its not that visible in person.
I drove it properly today on the stock gears, it is fast, drives well, and a lot of wheel spin. I need to set the camber/caster a little more. Also changed the gears to 48/92T 64P. will see the results.
any suggestions on tires to use on asphalt?

the 64P gears didn't hold well for my use. the spur is blocking the turn at some point. when I took it off, there was this one tooth who is messing up. I went back to the 48P 84/29. also did something, dunno if its right or wrong, I changed the placement of the gears. I brought the one in the back to the front and vice versa. A lot of loose traction, the car keeps spinning. but it much more fun. I will try other tires I have with better grip and see how well it goes or go with another set of gears for the front.

Did the differential conversion to solid axles on both ends. its a new car, I like it better the way it is now. also changed the spur/pinion to 78/31 till the 65/38 gets here..
did a little research on the mamba 5700kv about if it can handle a 4s Lipo. many said that the Neu motors are underrated by manufacturers for safety causes. and other were just cautious and underlined the monitoring of heat. so why not, got a 3300mAh 4S and ran it. it looses traction quickly because of the tires, I will run it again with another set and see if it handles better. but motor wise, it heats a bit and I let it rest and run again.
