well the track star motor is fairly high rpm/volt and with the huge reduction with gearbox in low gear the torque output is hugeeeee

I can spin the wheels with no strain and once finished will test the force. am sure i could sit on top and drive around tho

im just glad this setup will make the whole thing smaller internally, simpler and more efficient

I think you are onto a winner there! Too bad those controllers are on backorder, or I would try one out. I looked at some similar ones that have reverse, but there is never any info about delays etc.

It's just one of those things Smile

Sometimes too much speed/power causes more hassles and makes a robot less effective. For a drum bot like BFD, going to 3S is probably going to result in less bite with the drum teeth due to a lot more RPM and a lot of extra gyro dancing which would work against it in battle.

However, I know with Scarlet, 3S is the only way if you want massive, opponent exploding hits Razz

itll be a good match thats for sure

scarlet is dangerous but im confident i can take a few knocks reliably, last version took exorcist at full speed bouncing it around the arena and came back unmarked and this version is stronger than that one so.....

Will be an amusing encounter.

Yep it will be great!
Scarlet loves hitting right angles ....anything that is round is a good defence.
