GEARED UP! USGT racing with Tamiya TA07 Pro - Netcruzer RC

[@MrG35Mon]

I found that 3.4 FDR works best on that track layout. When I try FDR between 3.3 and 3.4, the car gets slower when FDR gets closer to 3.30

Some nice smooooth driving there John! Still looks like they have a bit more speed on that back straight but way better than last time.

[@netcruzer]

I might be overgeared now. You can see my accel is slower but top speed in of straight is higher. A few tooth down on pinion should be just right. 🤷‍♂️

[@bradstoybox8811]

@@netcruzer trial and error I guess. Any idea what the motor temps were?

[@netcruzer]

@@bradstoybox8811 never checked with a gauge but it wasn’t cooking

[@donnienicholson180]

Which internal ratio did you use? The hot trick to that car is to use the larger spur pulley set. I think it's a 20 tooth pulley (or larger)... Try an 82 tooth spur and get as close to 3.17 as possible? 🤷

[@NODTHEROD]

the straight is small part of the track gear for the infield . your car looks like it could use some rear grip- softer springs&oil nice driving tho two thumbs up

It's a pity that the gentleman to your left moved forward so that you couldn't see the track! Nice smooth driving.

[@donnienicholson180]

Sry just say your fdr calculations...yeah put the 20 tooth pulley set on and go from there. What are your competitors geared at and what chassis are they running

[@gainsrc]

Just curious... do you sell your old ones or put them on the shelf?

[@netcruzer]

Both. Depends on what sentimental vs real value it has.

[@lachtougne981]

Hello , Just out of curiosity, how much does such a car cost equipped like yours?

[@netcruzer]

Depends, ~$120 motor, ~$100 ESC, ~$40 tires, ~$80 servo, ~$120 transponder, ~$100 battery, etc. You are likely looking at 500-600 in racing equipment ontop of the bare chassis cost.
