What are your recommendations for a good platform and hop up parts to cope with a 3s lipo 5700 Mamba Max power on drag racing?
Thanks:037:

what ever bushless setup you choose...

To answer your question of what will you need platform and hopup wise.

The Rustler definitely has the most potential to bullet proof. This is what you would need to make the drive train as strong as it possible can be.

Well there are a few things that are ABSOLUTE MUSTS:
1) CVD's (MIP are good) http://www.rc-monster.com/proddetail...MIP1219&cat=29
2) Aluminum Idler for Tranny http://www.buytraxxas.com/product_in...roducts_id=342
3) RPM Wheel Hubs w/ Bearings.

Highly recommended(maybe even necessary depending on the power):
1) Aluminum tranny case http://www.rc-monster.com/proddetail...ltranny&cat=29
2) Steel/Alum Diff* http://www.rc-monster.com/proddetail...edediff&cat=29

I think this list will pretty much make the drive train as bulletproof as possible. The RPM wheel hubs and bearing should be done anyway.
