Little advice needed for a RB5 BL setup

[shannow95]

Hello,

I have discovered only recently this forum and would have wished to have found it before I ordered the Brushless system . Still some components are still pending and I can still change some .

I'll try to make it short but I'm useless at this ...

Basicaly in electric rc car I've got a B44 with a SP GT2.0 Pro and the motor is a LRP 6.5t X12 (the rotor fell apart from the axle on the first pack of lipo...) 17/84 ratio .
The club I go to is in a gymnasium with a synthetic floor ... it is incredibly slipery and oily . I nearly gave up the pleasure when I had the stock tyres ... got schumacker mini spike and had much better grip but still is quite slipery (they don't offer a single patch of carpet ). The circuits are very technical and daily built (last time there was 9 sharp U turns one the lap... and a straight line).Somtimes we go outside but in summer , it's more exeptional. But I wanted to try something else for fun ... something less complex for settings (really there's so many things to adjust on the b44 it's a nightmare for somebody who's after fun) . Something more rudimentary might give me more satisfaction in driving I though . So I decided to give a shot at 2wd (which I hesitated a lot when I got the b44).

So the chassis I've had my eyes on is the kyosho RB5 . Looks sturdy and I'm feed up with american sized allen keys on the B44... keep smaching the hex head because I sometime miss the right key ...
Anyway the RB5 is I think not a bad base (b4 and xxx cr were the others )

I'm going to switch the SP GT2.0 pro ESC to this (I'll put heavy plugs for switching fast) . I've ordered a new motor because the 6.5t just feels to fast , too much inertia and not enough torque . And so I've ordered a SP 10.5t V3.0 (10.5t is the fastest allowed for the promotion racing in 4x2 in france) with a 25t spur gear . The servo is going to be a vortex by team orion and the tyres mini-pins .

Is there something very wrong in this BL setup ? Or should it be okay ? Is there sens ?

Ps :I know that the 2wd will be a pig to drive in corners but if it has the same 2wd feeling as my mini-z's or the micro t it would be great .I just love that feeling of rear propulsion they have .

thank you very much in advance

The RB5 is a great chassis and is very forgiving and easy to drive in low grip. Pop over to the Kyosho section of this forum and we'll all be happy to help you fine tune your set-up.
As far as I am concerned the RB5 is the best 2wd chassis I have ever driven and as I started racing in the mid 80s I've driven a few

As for the brushless set-up you have gone for exactly what I would have suggested other than I don't think the PRO speedo is necessary, the LPF would be more than enough in a 2wd car. That said the PRO speedo is great it's just that you won't be using anywhere near it's ultimate capability so you could save a bit of money buying the LPF!

Thank you very much
Yes I hesitated to put this post over there for the RB5. I'll go and have a look at the setup discussion sticky .

I may not need the fan on the PRO for the 10.5t ,do I ? I don't know if it will fit in height for the bodyshell .

Also I've bought several heavy battery euro connector I the idea that It will enable me do witch the ESC quickly from one chassis to the other . Will it be okay ? The little Mamba 6800kv came like this that's where the idea comes from . Otherwise I have to solder and unsolder each time the motor .

I'm really getting exited at trying this new chassis

No for the 10.5t motor you dont need a fan .I have the same combo and my temperatures are veeery low.

If you use Speed Passion V3 motors they come with plugs for the motor wires built into the motor ... a very neat solution!
