Building A Drag / Street Ve8 Buggy Need Advice !

[Overdriven]

I think the biggest suprise is going to be the fact that play time is going to be limited while waiting for everything to cool down when geared so high. 30min runtime is no problem when you count the 5 min of cool down time after 2 minutes of running. Get a big motor if you're going to keep it geared high all the time. 1717 or a 1527 have alot more torque to pull that kind of gearing and won't heat up as fast.
