I would suggest going online and learning as much about building up a drifter (most are made from touring car chassis, such as the Tamiya TA05, TA06, TB03, Hot bodies TCX, Schumacher Mi1, X-ray T2R, T3, T3'11, Associated TC5, TC6, and many more. If you could find a Tamiya VDF or Yokomo DRB (get ready to spend a LOT of money), those are the best drifters around, and easier to drift than your TT01 (most higher priced chassis are like that).
You could try the Castle Sidewinder SCT (provided you can find one), as it is a low Kv system, and is programmable via the Castle link, and what those guys at your LHS were trying to convey is to gear the car so that the Novak would not overheat in any way. Novaks are notorious for going bad, if they are geared too high.
Thanks for the reply!
Looking at those prices of Tamiya VDF and the Yokomo DRB is INSANE! Not sure if I will spend that much for drift chassis right now until I am sure I know I really want them.
When you mentioned the Castle Sidewinder SCT, my light bulb lit up because my LHS do have a lot of them on the shelf. Even if I do attempt to use that on the Coppermix, how am I supposed to figure out what BL gear to attach at the end to match the big Spur gear that drives all the wheels? Sounds now like I can't simply remove the one from the Drift Spec motor and put it on the Sidewinder.
