Insane fast

[mbartell]

Well, I can't run my xmods indoors anymore.
I finally got all my electronics stuff back, and started swapping motors.
torque tuned tamiya mini 4wd in a skyline w/ 4wd and the stock diff in the back. It pulls so hard that it goes sideways before the tires hook up (on a wood floor) I put it with the white gear and the 8 tooth pinion. Once it does grab, it's off like a shot. I'd try it with the 9 tooth and red gear but ....
Plasma Dash 2 tamiya mini 4wd in RSX- ball diff in 2wd. Takes about 1/2 a second and it's blasting across the room- a twitch of the steering and it slides around like mad. Using the 9 tooth and red gear. It will almost spin around on one tire.
The heat sink on the bottom of the chassis does get hot.
Both cars have bearings.
I haven't tried any other motors because these are too fun as is.
I have to say- get a pinion puller and an engine press from a hobby shop that deals with the 1/24 th scale slot cars- Makes life easy.
I'm going to go to the indoor R/C track to see what they do with some traction.
