Beefing up a Tamiya Tiger I
I am starting my Tiger I soon and want to beef up the running. I do want to reduce the speed a bit (not all the way down to scale speed though) and definately want to increase the torque, but I probably want to go half-way between the stock gearbox (1:60 ratio I think) and the scale competetion gearbox (1:105 I think).
I would like to stick larger motors in and am open to different gearbox ideas.
What thoughts do you have and where do you think I should buy the necessary parts?
All help most welcome.
thanks
Noel

Thanks.
Am now dealing with Willy at CustomRc, Daryl directly and also the guys at Axels Modelbau and Wecohe.
This is going to be one strong puppy!
