Default RE: Mods on a redcat


ORIGINAL: Clay2010

Well I took this VXL-3 Motor and Esc off a Rustler VXL that a buddie of mine smashed and was gonna throw away. They both work prefect as i put them on a ECX Torment. I wanna put both the ESC and VXL-3 motor on the Twister XTG. I Have the pinion Gear for the motor but, what gearing would you think i should run with?
As i will do using 2s 20c 5000 mah batteries.

& I Bought the Twister XTG Pro edition back in January around the 15 - 20th.

If the model is less than 90 days old, fill out a warrenty form on redcat's site. You should get a replacement.

The stock motor is 3900kv. The vxl motor is 3500kv. So you will want to add 2-3 teeth on the pinion gear. I forget how many teeth the stock gear has, so count them and then buy a gear that will fit the vxl motor that is 2-3 teeth bigger. That will compensate for the lower KV of the vxl motor.
