My car weighs 9lbs 13oz

The tires will completely spin if I give it full throttle. Its too much torque even with that gearing. Its around 1.7:1 for a final drive ratio. 64 pinion/36 spur.

Wow. I clearly underestimated that motor. Although the rotor is the same size as your spur gear!

That's good to know. Thanks!

Not to be a pest, but someone out there must know where I can get a set of beadlock wheels for 1/8 buggy tires. That, or I could try slicing a set of MT beadlocks...

B4maz, how much does your car weight as a roller and how much does your 8s lipo weigh? I bought a DM1 cause the specs says it was lighter than a GTP Ultra. DM1 roller is 6lbs and some odd oz. Total weight with everything on it is 9lbs 4oz. My motor weighs 12oz and my lipos are 1lb 11oz.
