RE: Official Dark Impact Thread

I used a 19t checkpoint on mine with the stock spur and anywhere between a 21 and 27 will be your range for the pinion. The larger spur will give you more torque but less speed. Just keep an eye on...

The first wheel for the RC10 will not work.

RE: Tamiya Durga or Associated RC10 B4 RTR???
