Guys, last week I bought a center pulley from r/c tech forum. The problem is (i just noticed when trying to swap it in) is that is is not for my car (R31), but looks like this

now I'm waiting for the seller reply before making a report.

Added on July 5, 2012, 3:53 pmI'm pretty sure its not for OTA R31. Correct me if I'm wrong...

Seller replied, turns out I need this http://www.myrcstation.com/webshaper/store...roductItem=6042 I thought its plug n play...

Just asking, how much (estimated) price for tx lipo?

When is the ETA?

Can't wait, since using lighter battery does makes drifting easier. (i tried using a 1800mah instead of the usual 5200mah nimh).

Added on July 9, 2012, 3:28 pmBTW, this lipo comes with what type of connector? Some mods need to be done right since mine is the Tamiya style (inm).

Do you have extra dean connector? Sell it to me if got stock...

Actually, I don't mind. If arrived next month also better (pokai...)

Is it normal to find that its easier to drift in on direction, let say clockwise compared to counter-clockwise? I've swap the setting and its still the same.

Afaik, both got pros and cons. But the main pros for belt imo is the ease to mod the ratio.

I got clone ota-r31 which is designed for drift.

Nice.

I'm noob also...this is my 1st car. So cannot compared between axle and belt. Just some info from the net said that axle is more durable but belt easier to mod and less torque steer (car going left/right when full throttle from standstill). But IMO, its depend on the driver, some prefer axle, some belt.

Mod the ratio is by changing the pulley to different sizes to achieve different power distribution (normal is 50-50) so that the rear get more power than front, which is harder to control but makes it more fun and realistic.

4wd. But can use 2wd also if pro enough.

Its hard to imitate real car. Although the size is scaled down, the weight is not.

Just take out the front pulley/belt. Waiting for my new conversion cf chasis and pulley sets. Want to try cs.

Just like suggested by eric, OTA R31 (because I got one, albeit its a clone).

Get the clone for around rm350 to see whether drifting is for you. But don't use high capacity battery (long play time will burn the esc) and change to brushless (all parts will start breaking one by one).

Offroad xleh main dalam ujan ker? hehehe

Upgrade maa... business good what

Hoorayy...

Next bulk target: servo.
