I would recommend you go down to one of your local clubs (southport/bury/batley) and see what goes on.

If you get the car on a proper track you might suddenly decide to work on driving skill, before spending on speed

I would say the RTR is a decent enough car for club level racing... have a go, then worry about hopping up.

If your not interested in racing and just want to bash around the street then a hot brushless speedo/motor combo is the route to insane speed.

can some one tell me the limite of my speed contraller its a Perfex KA-15
as so how many turns is the stock g20 single motor in the car ???

The kit motor is has 20 turns of a single wire per armature segment (normally refered to as a 20x1).

Motors with more than a single wire per pole will have a smoother power delivery and are often listed as a double (x2) or tripple (x3) etc.

Motors with fewer turns, yours has 20, will rev higher thus go faster for the same gearing ..... but in reality you will need to change the gearing to suit the motor or else it will get to hot and fail.

I think the limit for your speedo is actually 17 turns approx, although a lower current draw 15 turn may just be ok.

I personally prefer a car to run a slower smoother motor and gear it higher to give the same top end. For example when most people were running winds like a 10x1 I would be running something like a 13x3 but geared so the top end was very similar. It is much easier to drive a smooth motor and for me me fun!

so a 15 turn would do or would it blow my contraller up lol ???
