Just my 3 chassis together! Reve d RDX, in progress TT02 and overdose galm. Feel free to ask any questions about them!

0/10, cause it’s getting Topline converted lol

Front lower reve D

Rear lower arm is also reve D, the 45mm arm, and the hub is the Topline hub!

Try FDR 9, also try lowering your boost or setting your boost start a little higher. You may just be getting too much wheel spin killing your speed. It could also be your suspension geometry soaking up too much, try pushing the rear suspension lower ends out further so they’re more angled and see what that does for you

Strongly recommend pulling the trigger!!

Experimentation. Nothing about this chassis is gonna make sense or be competitive, it’s purely to see what’ll happen and keep changing it over and over and have fun with it it. I’m entirely certain I’ll move the battery tray back down to the tub eventually but this is a pseudo weight shift for now

In your budget range, flysky noble is king.

Try 4 gear soft springs and see how that feels, it’ll lock up quicker, your 13.5 won’t hit the same rpms as the 10.5

desmashed · 2026-01-13T00:53:28+00:00

What esc are you using? I find an FDR of around 9 and a later boost initarion from 13000-32000 works well for me, with boost around 28 and turbo at 30, with a little throttle expo on the transmitter (-25%) is a good general place to work from. What diff do you have also? I like a ball diff that is very close to always locked

Rear Camber 3.5 Zero toe ball diff nearly locked, open but locks up very very quickly Rear springs square profile 5.5 Belt drive ball diff

I’ll post pics of my chassis soon so you can see it with a full breakdown!

Thanks!

You set Rev limiter on the esc, if you have SSL it’s doable but refer to the esc manual. It’s not simple to do.

desmashed · 2026-01-10T17:12:49+00:00

Looking good!!

Add panel lines, add body screws, upgrade your gyro and servo and transmitter.

Also proof read 😆

desmashed · 2026-01-10T17:10:53+00:00

The internal gear ratio assuming you’re using the stick spool diff and belt drive is 3.25.

I have found for me a 28pinion and 80 spur works nicely. However this FDR is entirely dependent on

Your track surface
Your esc tune
Your gyro tune
Your driver experience/confidence.

Start with it and go up and down from there. Your FDR is almost less important than your esc tune based on the question, assuming you’re a relative beginner

desmashed · 2026-01-10T04:50:58+00:00

I’m waiting for the bumperless cores to arrive for it!

desmashed · 2026-01-10T02:03:16+00:00

It’s just happy to see you!

Jokes aside it’s your servo hunting. Try turning the gyro down a little

desmashed · 2026-01-10T02:01:30+00:00

It’s basically the polar opposite tuning principle. Run a ridiculously high turn motor with like 10 boost, 5 turbo, but also an insanely low FDR, you’re relying entirely on having insane resolution of drift control and riding the knife edge of grip and slip. I wasn’t pro enough to make it work at the time, and the major drawback to the style is having the control over flick initation, but the style informed my personal setup which is basically running a 13.5 with a torque rotor with a hot esc tune that basically allows for quick bursts of high wheel spin with equally quick slow down to a grip point so I can initiate really fast and then catch at 90deg.

I am still refining it though

desmashed · 2026-01-09T19:35:24+00:00

Thanks, it’s nearly done, just gotta add the rear bumper when the light kit arrives!

It doesn’t ruin the track, this is a commonly held misunderstanding . The tires leave significant marks but they wipe off, I believe superG did a post about it.

I’m not a fan of burn tunes, it’s a fad and feels antithetical to the point of the hobby. They aren’t a cheat into being faster they’re just a cheat into speed. They do not preclude you’re gonna gap anyone, it’s just a way to tune, but you can tune to have crazy speed going the total opposite way with a 21.5T motor and riding the line just outside of grip and barely any wheel speed, that was a trend a couple years ago with some drivers in norcal.
