Oh, you don't know do you? The LRP 7.5t in my truck died racing at Cheadle last night. The wheelie monster is no more

But then I promptly bought the only spare motor going at the track - a Novak 5.5t. Wheelies a go go again!

Its now even more silly than before! However I'm not entirely sure a 20 year old RC10 Stealth slipper can cope with a modern 5.5t brushless!!!!!!

Well the problem is I really want that 5.5t in my D4. Which means the truck is motorless unless I put the 4.5t in. And considering that the D4 can't really cope with that I can't see a 20 year old truck managing. I'm a bit stuck now

I'm waiting on Little Chris to get me a new spur so I can try it Sunday on 4.5t power.

Andy - If you are reading this can you bring the Pro 10 on Sunday? If Chris forgets my spur the Pro 10 has one I can use.

Got new shell (sort of) for truck and fitting it now - not painted yet so won't use on Sunday. Extra thick lexan!

I think we decided last week that we'd all turn up - so even if no racing happens we'll have another massive practice day.

Well its done. 5.5t is now in the D4, 4.5t is now in the RC10. The single pad slipper gets so hot it melts the spur gear! Its going to be a little mental


Seriously though Johnny - If you want monster power find me a sensored brushless motor in the 6.5-8.5t region and I'll swap it for that Novak 4.5t I have. I'm literally only using it because I don't have another sensored brushless to fit. It was too much in a 4wd, it will be mental in a 2wd.
You certainly don't want a 2.5t - those things aren't even designed for running with lipo! They are meant for touring cars on 5 cell NiMHs (6V) and even then they are ballistic!

I put a 5.5 in my SC10 and I couldn't even get it in a straight line running it in the street outside my house. you had no control over the car and it was just waiting to smash itself up on a kerb

I then ran it round a track and broke the chassis in 3 laps lol

someone at my club has found that the B4 layshaft and therefore clutch fit straight into the old stealth box!! Maybe that would help a little
