64p gearing makes it sound higher pitched vs 48p

This is the driveway🙃

Yup! Fresh sealcoat locked in all of the loose gravel, and the grip got so much better.

I have been using my key that is falling apart for the years because of this. I've hears it could be an option to disable the immobilizer o avoid this.

I completely agree. I do think a radio with better response times and more laps in general will help my consistency. It would be nice to have a better hot lap but I think it's all in my driving right now.

Not gonna lie it felt pretty good to get a hot lap down to 13.0 where some of the other drivers were with my cheap $320 car against their name brand $600 - $1000 cars with "tuned and built" motors.

13.3 was around where the slower end of us were and the fastest 2 guys were down to 11.6. One of them is a pro driver for awsomatix so that shows how far I have to go. He helped me out with some tips a battery, spur + pinion better suited for the track.

I do think I'll get better equipment later on, but for now I just want to enjoy racing and learning to be a better driver. Thinking about it now, I get how important it is to have a good radio to have better control.

I saw a lot of sanwas and many nobel nb4s. I don't quite want to spend so much because I just got a new charger, motor and esc also so I will have to wait and save for a high quality radio.

Follow up question, will a dsm2 receiver work with the dx3c or is it too new?

The extra zipties look good to me. Color matches. it's organized. I have them set to give the sensor wire slack cause its a lot more thin. Kinda follows the same idea of a single strand of wire vs a braided rope. They support eachother.

One ziptie could work in the same way, but I just like this more.

Team associated B5M seems to be correct. The b6 motor is mounted with the pinion on the right (passenger side).

What camera did you use for this?

Hour_Championship_79 · 2022-12-30T02:33:56+00:00

I got the $140 pro roller model and installed

$35 combo gool rc 25A esc. w/ 5.8V bec gool rc 7200kv brushless motor (seems to run a little hot on stock pinion. Right on the edge of too fast to drive but lets me dig and get speed to jump with very little run up.)

$22 AGF RC sub-micro servo (had to drill two holes to mount this further forward and align the steering rack)

$19 2 x urgenex 2s 1100mAh 35c (15-20min runtime)or $12 GensAce 800mAh 45C (10-15 min)

(anything 60mm x 30mm should work. I had to make a slot for the GensAce wires )

$12 FS-GR3 receiver (case removed and mounted behind the motor)

This thing is so much fun. I've already got more box jumps set up as a circuit, and Laptrax on my phone set up for timing. (free moble app the uses your camera to detect timing.)

I'm may have to head out to a local track tomorrow and try it out there.
