RockForce? You can get the faster gear kit for it. Worm axles are slow to begin with. Try a 35T and see how you like it. Check the RockForce forum and see what the guys are running in theirs. The shock oil isn't going to limit your flex. And 10 is very thin! h much flex are you wanting? To much can be a bad thing. Do some reading here on the forum and you will find out everything you need to know  Start in the RF forum though!

Kenny is right,there's lots of info around RCC for tuning the suspension. Just about all the suspension tuning tips from any platform will work,just have to apply it to your build and find the set up you like best. There's LOTS of options there As far as the worm geared axles,they are a totally different animal compared to the standard ring and pinion axles,like Axial,Wheely Kings,TLT's and such. Motor,gearing and ESC set up's will vary some between the two. Between the Kyosho section and the Losi section,you should be able to find some helpful info. Typically,a worm driven axle will need a higher geared tranny,faster motor and high voltage to overcome the low gear in the axle. There is allot of friction to overcome in a worm gear. That will generally cause more heat in the motor,ESC and batteries. You'll want to make sure the motor,ESC and your batteries can handle higher amperage than most. Good quality 30c lipos,good quality motors and a ESC like the Mamba Max would be where I would start. A new ESC that will be out soon will laugh at those higher amp draw situations......Holmes Hobbies TorqueMaster BR-XL |

35t would be a good start. Any ol' 35t will be the same as any,unless you go with a TorqueMaster Pro Handwound . The handwound motors will provide better low end power and they'll spool up faster as well.

you got good advice from those post. your best friend now would be some time spent on the rockforce threads where you will need to read most of the build threads, there are tons of very usefull info to help you deciding on the right equipment and set-up for the RF.
