I am shooting more 37-39mph which is what I need on the open style track we run on. Any thoughts??? Should I go higher KV or lower KV or just higher voltage...maybe 3S?
If its ball diffs and belts, the drivetrain should be good. I think novak or similar motors will be good, mamba's or a VXL might be too much.

Are you sure it isn't a 1/8 burns, Kyosho never made a nitro version of the optima to my knowledge


Work because i gotta, play because i wanna

People here hate Nitro, I love it. I start it, run it about 50 ft from me and it dies, I go after it. Perfect exercise
