Finished my 2nd GTP - Page 3 - RC-Monster Forums

I was thinking of getting the GTP2e from Tower for a while now. I have a Tekin RX8/T8 2250 combo kicking around not doing much. How would that go in the GTP? Would the diffs hold up to 5-6S power or would I have to upgrade them? Don't want to spend a huge amount of money as I still have a whole fleet of RCs to maintain.
Are the diffs in the nitro and electric version the same?

Upgrading the ring gears is recommended and getting those metal diff case caps is a plus when going with a higher power setup.

So are they a factory upgrade or aftermarket part? Got a link for them? Anything else that really needs upgrading? I bet these things are hell on tires. LOL

I think the dirt oval comes with the hardend ring gears allready, but I'm not sure.

The ring gears are factory upgrades and the metal diff case caps are from king headz.

My GTP pulled a peak of 2668W with a 4s pack over the weekend. Tires were run down Ofna blue foams. Basically I was doing burnouts, speedruns and power sliding. This also posed a problem with the ESC. My voltage dropped twice to 8.55V for 0.002 of a second and the RX8 didn't respond. I only had 5 led's on, so I didn't thermal. Impressive on the RX8 part to detect that V-drop that fast.

So I found the Acepow 4s pack limitation with my 1.5D 1515 2700kv motor and 47/28 gearing. I can however ease on the throttle and not have the lipo cutoff trip.

Datalogger used was the new Eagletree V4 which has the 50hz logging capability. Connectors are EC5. RX8 has 3 extra caps. Motor plugs are 6mm.
