One Off No Prep Scaler

[Timmahh]

So, turns out the SW4/5700 dont have enough nuts to get it going.

But, I need to get a new top plate and bandit chassis. No wrecks etc as It's not been run yet, but now that down to pinion/spur option to run, And wanting to get the front end setup, I am seeing when I trimmed them originally to do some tweaking, I shouldn't have. lol So, I'm gonna get a new front end on the way (Anyone have one? Looking for Bandit chassis, top plate, and plastic bulkhead?), and finish the front end up. Then I need to determine what pinion and spur to run.

quick view is SSD TK AR44?( think that's the model they are after) axle with O.D. (8/2 and an SSD Wraith high ratio tranny (1.83:1).

So where would you go for pinion spur option? Not looking to hit the line against a Limitless or Felony or even a normal NP. More of a show than a go piece, but I want it to go, which brings me to esc/motor option>

I have an RX4/2300hd coming for the Ryft, so that leaves the Spectrum 130/2200kv combo. This combo would fit the theme I am going after for the body.
but I originally grabbed a Max8/2200kv combo for the Ryft before I decided to go with the sensored RX4 setup.
But that is new enough I can still return it for credit...

So what would you go for?
Give a little detail as to your choices, please.

Grabbed some Redcat 64 plastic servo mounts to use to move the steering servo around just a bit to allow for better clearance for the servo arm.
Once this is done, I'll be able to take a few shake out drives.
She wont be fast with this setup. But I can change some gearing and think I can speed it up pretty well with more pinion and less spur.

Well, I did something similar to what you're doing, but I built mine before No-Prep RC was a "thing".

I built an RC Gasser using an SCX10. I used the ESC and motor out of the 1/8 scale Traxxas Funny Car. That gives it plenty of torque off the line. Hahahaha
However, not really enough top-end speed for No-Prep. But you could probably mess with the gearing. I just built mine for wheelies and goofing around. Hahahaha

Anyways, here's the thread I made about it (with pics)...

And here's a quick clip of those wheelies I built it for...

Maybe it'll help give ya some ideas for your build.

Ya, not the best top speed out of the High Ratio Tanny. However, with the Spectrum 150a esc and 2300kv 5mm shaft motor out of my Ryft, I should be able to mock over a Mugen 44 or 46t spur, or even start using a 30 something t pinion as a spur gear on the tranny input.

I'm certainly not above making shit work. lol
