Traxxas Fiesta ST gets faster!

So we went and did it! Got the 32 pitch gearing in and ended up with an 18 tooth pinion and 54 tooth spur gears and the thing bloody rips! It was very hard to control and if I wanted it faster, I’d definitely need some tire upgrades. We went from 17 mph with the 12 tooth 48 pitch brushed setup on 2S lipo to 50.1 mph on a 3S lipo with the new setup. The VXL high speed gearing is a 19 tooth but we are still getting some overheating with the 18 so a heat sink and fan are in the way; hopefully they’ll help but we did do a lot of runs so we’ll see how she does on the dirt track.
Overall, I’m super excited about this as I was tossing the idea of getting the VXL but I didn’t want to spend the money and I liked this body WAY more…I also love the challenge of making the lower models faster so mission accomplished.
