ok, i was thinking about my idea, its gonna be super hard, especially since i got no experience
does anyone here have any sites or instructions on how to add more volts to my rc car?
or just pack more batteries onto it

 

I've always wanted one of those little drifting cars that run on gas. They look JUST LIKE real cars... only tiny.

They're not just any regular R/C car...

I'd like to have one that looks just like my car that I can mod out exactly the same and keep it updated.



EDIT: Check this out man... THIS is what you need to do. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-COU5ki9I8

 

lol, i just found out that more volts or batteries doesnt make the car faster, what i need is a higher gear
To get a taller gear ratio, you can install a pinion with more teeth or a spur gear with fewer teeth
this is gonna be the hard part
i may just give up, lol

 

dont forget when you add more batteries youll have to upgrade the esc.......most esc's only suport 6-8 cell's. but with the newer technology you can look into a brushless set up and lipo batteries. as far as supercharging, if were talking nitro, dont bother. when the piston is at bdc both the intake and exh ports are open therefore your just blowing the boost right out the exh. i just sold my 2.5 maxx with 3.3 motor, my savage x, but im keeping my pro .15 maxx with .18 motor swap. i bought a blade cp pro elec heli a few weeks ago. its alot more fun i think and your less likely to break something once you get the hang of it. you can hop them up like nay other rc as well.........i just ordered a carbon fiber boom kit and will be ordering an aluminum head for it soon.

 

How big is that elec heli? I'd like to get one for myself. But i think i will start with the small one they sell at Radio Shack.

 

I personally have a 3.3 revo, wanting to trade it for a stadium truck with a brushless setup though. want to get out of nitro.

 

wow, i didnt know so many people were into this hobby
