Suggestion for the Castle Guys - RC-Monster Forums

But not everyone subscribes to the awsome RCM forums or similar. It does seem that simple to some people (especially here), but these products are available in rtr kits which may have recomendations for that particular setup but for those who are going to up grade or make a conversion may be doing so on the assumption that there car can do x-mph with out any insight to the finer points.

I'm not saying that the majority of people are stupid, just the a portion need more information when making such a decision. Doing calcs on Brians calc sheet will not give a temperature analysis (of course it's impossible) so a power to weight to gearing ratio might give a starting piont.

As stated by Castle the people on this forum are likely to push the boundaries of any given running gear so a beginer (i don't like to think I am but when I get on this forum it is apparent to me) one might get the wrong idea on what's a 'BULLET PROOF' system.

Don't get me wrong I know there's no 'BULLET PROOF' system but everyone wants something that won't leave them sidelined and/or out of pocket

ANYTHING can be Bullet proof, if its a shelf queen

So you have a 'BULLET PROOF' flux?

NOTHING is bulletproof. If you can't break something send it to me and I can break it. If I can't break it I can at least prove it's not literally bulletproof.

This lipo was a shelf queen after it completely crapped out, didn't do it much good

The problem with a gearing guide is, as neil said, there are too many factors involved and if some n00b followed their guide and burned up a 2650 and MMM trying to run a Truggy geared for 70 MPH they'd be pissed at Castle and talk a bunch of smack about them because they're an idiot

The n00b is who I am thinking of, and it is not so much a 'what's safe for 70mph' but whats safe for the batteries they plan to run, ie-power/watts/votage+amps to weight. The mmm combo can not be out done unless you've got a costum build or 1/5.

What the pain in doing a, power to weight, gear ratio?
