Dont hate, please let me explain.....
I dont drive due to an eye condition. I want to race my RC but the only time I can make it to the hobby shop for right now is on Wensdays when my buddy runs his electric buggy and on Wensdays there is no Nitro. So that means I can't run my new truggy build till I figure out how to get there on Saturdays when they run nitro.
I figured I would race my sons 2wd rc10t4.1 but now I'm thinking of converting one of my spare rollers into an electric t-maxx truggy. The reason I would do this instead of getting an emaxx is becouse I already have all the interchangeable t-maxx parts lying around including bulks, diffs, hubs, cvds, chassis, arms etc. So......
I started thinking. Hmm some 4s Lipo sounds fun or heck maybe even some 3s since I havent run any lipo at all and my kiddos car runs a ni-mh. I feel like we are getting left behind and this would certainly help keep me on the fornt edge of technology for RC stuff.
With all that said please know I do understand that I may not be able to be a front runner as I am building a mutant that probably wont run as well as the new model electric truggys.
So my question here is a two parter.
A) Should I run the older .15 pro tranny with the FOC and the Single speed conversion or should I run the Stock E-maxx tranny and just mock up a mounting solution? I want the truck to be as competitive as possible with the other truggys. Either way I plan on letting the ESC do the braking.
B) I understand 4s is more power but would I be better off running the 3s to be smoother in and out of the turns and still be competitive?
Thanks as always for the info guys.
P.S. I have no clue what I'm talking about I'm just trying to regurgitate all the info I have read online. Sry but I have to start somewhere. I should also add I have never raced electric before so again I have no clue what I'm talking about but I'm trying to use that search function first.
