Nice. If you don't experience too much spinning rear wheels, you might try to do a run without rear wing. If you don't need it for downforce, it will only add drag and slow down the car.

In the...

What you see a lot in the R/C scene is that people give advice on base of things that they heard in stead of what they experienced. Due to this parrot behaviour the wrong advices are kept alive...

In my experience higher Kv motors feel a little smoother than higher Kv motors. The axles of lower Kv ones turn a bit less easy. When you make enough rpm, that difference disappears.

As long as it...

M1 (25.4P) won't work with 48P (around M0.53).

I have never heard of fans slowing down due to the magnetic field of a motor. Could it be that the effect is caused by dropping of the voltage of your battery when you ask power from it to feed the...

Priceless. I bumped into the video again and noticed that I missed the driveshaft. Lol.
Good work, RCWilly.

It seems you mean this one: https://traxxas.com/products/parts/6837
You can check the exploded views to find the numbers of the parts:...

I don't get it. If you have them yourself you can measure what size they are. Or am I missing something?

Sorry for the late response. I am not that often here anymore. The Hot Racing ones are not designed for the Merv, but that doesn't mean they won't fit. I have good experiences with most of the GPM...

No. 4mm with M4 threads. The thicker part is 8mm, the smaller 4mm. You can find diameters of axles often quite easy by the size of the bearings on them. The inner bearings in the knuckles are 8 x 12...

I remember experiencing more sound than expected when I drove my cars on smooth pavement in the beginning. You'll get used to it.

A Mamba Micro X might be not strong enough for the 1/16 Traxxas cars. It's not only a matter of being able to get to an amount of rpm by using a specific voltage. You also just need to be able to...

Great choice!

Reverse steering

It's not too crazy expensive to convert it into a Mustang. I never did much speed running with it, but 75-80 mph was not too hard to reach. Just a different combo and the right gearing was enough to...

No, the caster blocks will.

It's almost the same as asking what a good 1:1 car is for $20K. Ask a Ford driver and you get a different answer than from someone who owns a different car. A lot is personal taste.

Looking at...

As long as the wheels are not in the air or slipping, a difference in ballooning between front and rear means different turning speeds of the wheels. You might think the ballooning wheels turn faster...

Finger test is not reliable. Everyone has a different level of which heat they can handle. If you want the best care for your motors, get a decent temp gun. In the end it will cost you less than you...

With a center diff installed the front tires will only balloon worse once they are in the air. A center diff should reduce wheelies, so it can reduce ballooning indirectly.

I couldn't agree more.

Boca bearings sells kits for a huge amount of different RC cars. High quality but, certainly compared to China stuff, quite expensive. 1/16 scale bearing set from Boca

In addition to the great explanation of GotNoRice; when you deliver the same amount of power with a higher voltage and a lower current, you probably have less heat dissipation, because heat...

There is a lot of information available about Lipo batteries. I have owned a few hundred of them and never had a single issue. I have had two NiMH batteries pop open during charging. In my opinion...

It might be that you already named the cause of the problem: VXL and NiMH. Since the amount of necessary current is quite large at acceleration, the NiMH batteries probably struggle to deliver that...
