MA Racing DLR8 Build Overview

Thanks for the vid! How does the idler gear affect performance?

[@Microdose_RC]

It counteracts the lift of the nose, and makes the whole car want to lift instead. It feels great with the idler gear, but i have removed it for a future test as it seems to limit the pinion size you can run, and I feel the car needs more wheel speed.

@@Microdose_RC I just took a closer look at my motor and dlr8 since I too am using the idler and smallest pinion gear. My omg aurora s2 motor has 2 sets of holes at each position, so I was able to rotate the motor to a different set of holes which allowed me to move the motor to the max forward position in the mount. The largest pinion gear provided in the kit now fits with the idler perfectly.

Do you know if they’ll ever make it direct drive

If you were to choose would you get this or a rts as your first chassis?

@@bobclavi personally, I love the RTS and would go with that every time. I just recently put one together for a customer, and it is a screamer. It's featured in the beginning of one of my most recent videos on here. Check it out and tell me which one you think looks better sideways. But I can tell you, the RTS feels way more stable than the DLR8.
