thats what there for.whats the body like.come to think of it what do you use it for,it flexs good but looks like it will sit low with all 4s on the ground?

Joined: 02 Jun 2003 Location: brisbane

Hey BJ !!

The Blazing Fart is looking good mate.

Is 17T the smallest pinion you can put on the truck ? If your motor has died, this maybe the cause. The larger tryes have increased your drive ratio and the motor is working much harder than with the buggy wheels.

What motor and speedie are you using ?

He was running one of mine that was not wired up properley and he had snapped a wire on it. I am not sure of the speedy.

I wanna know more about your Motor having a heart attack.
It's pretty hard to 'kill' a motor. Are you sure it's the motor that's dead?
Does the ESC still work?

BJ , idon't think it helps that you are using a 17 - 18 turn motor with a speedie that is not meant for that sort of turn motor and it's a 550 so thats like haifing the turns again.You are lucky you didn't do more to your car like make it explode Twisted Evil
