Which wind motor in a truck then?

[c0sie]

It seems that the "norm" in a 2WD buggy is around a 6.5L (using the Novak motor as reference), so with this is mind would the same apply for a 2WD T4 or is there a more commonly used wind of BL motor?

Thanks

I can tell you a 4.5R and 4900 TrakPower is tooooo fast! It flips onto it's lid and wears the shell away!

G, you got yours running yet fella? Get some pics up Or Video lol

I would say a 6.5R perhaps (less chance of wheelspin in a heavy truck and with those big tyres?)

Maybe even a 5.5R???

It's been running for a while, but I have no tyres (that are any use indoors or even in the UK!) for it

Something as fast as possible!

Com'on its a truck, just make it innnnnnsaaaaaaneee

[Northy]

Trust me, the 4.5 is beyond insane. At any sped if you 'pin it' you just end up with it on it's lid

I might leave it in for it's first race though

In that case the 4.5 sounds spot on

Ive chucked a 6.5L in mine, didnt give the 4.5 a thought but now you mention it hmmmmmmm

Lipo or Nimh?

7.5R and big Lipo was too savagefor York indoors on sat night, putting a 7.5L when I get one. I think a big Lipo is worth a wind so if you're Nimh then 6.5L sounds right.

I've got a 4.5L G, when we finally run trucks at York we should both run them for 1 heat

3200 TP LiPos Dan. 6.5R sound ok to you bud?

[Scouser]

I used a 6.5 with 21t pinion and an 87t spur with either the Core 5000 Li-Po or Trakpower 4900. Plenty fast enough and will still pop a wheelie if you are too throttle happy.

I've found with my T4 to motor and gear it (mm/rev) like a 4wd, I'm planning on a Nosram 6.5 in Florida with whatever huge lipo I can get to last the 15 minute final

Sensible, yet probably the fastest over 5 mins
