New Racer
I just got a Yokomo Drift package, and I bought a Novak GTB speed controller with Novak Velociti 6.5R brushless motor. Not knowing much about rc drifting, does this sound suitable?
Thanks!

RE: New Racer
The car looks great, but im not positive how its going to perform, i would try it out to see how it does. Im saying this becuase of the power of your brushless system, it might actually be too fast for drifting, but then again like i said, im not sure. Good luck, i hope it works.

RE: New Racer
Yes, thats what I was wondering about. I see all these people saying they use like 17t + motors to drift, and I bought a 6.5t.. lol
Well I could always put rubber on and drag race!! [sm=surprised.gif]

RE: New Racer
get gp3300's, those piranha 1500's will give you about 5 minutes or so of runtime, the brushless needs alot of power, and those batteries wont be able to supply it. with those batteries, chacnes are your car will have wierd performance.

I agree 100%. If you spent that much money on electronics why are you running like $10 batteries? The batteries power the vehicle man. With all novak brushless motors, the better the batteries you use, the better the performance. With that motor, I really want to see a video of you drifting with it! Im not doubintg your skills or anything its just that I drifted some with my SS4300 on 7-cells and I thought that was going mightly fast compared to most of the videos I have seen where they cant be going much faster than 20 and Im going more than 30. For my t-spec I just wrapped the stock tires with electrical tape because they were basically done anyway, those things wear quickly just for a heads up to anybody looking at getting a t-spec or some t-spec tires.

Yea I had no idea at the time, this is my first car. It's a Piranha 1900 and it lasts about 8 minutes. But I already got 2 new SMC 3600's. http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXJZD1&P=ML Not a bad price, either.
Thanks for the tips! [8D]
