RE: OFFICAL PEDE THREAD

My limited experience with Titan motors was HORRIBLE.  I got two XL-5 Stampedes for my boys last Christmas.  Both motors died in less than one month.  They were replaced by Novak brushless 8.5t...

RE: OFFICAL PEDE THREAD

Not that Ihave any real RC tuning experience........ but I have raced real cars..........

Put a bigger pinion in and loosen the clutch.

That would do it in a real car.

RE: OFFICAL PEDE THREAD

We were running in the snow last night. It doesn't like deep powder but on partial hard pack it went quite well. We did replace the stock tires with Pro Line Mashers.

Iwas wondering if it might be...

RE: OFFICAL PEDE THREAD

What about this one?

To judge the speed do I look at the amperage output?

Again, I gotta thank the folks of this forum. ...
