Haha, makes sense. I am sure I will be crashing a bit my first time out. I plan to have the car out for its first run this thurs.

Thanks Nick. I am going to start at 4 and will adjust slightly if needed.

Hey guys, I am starting the process of converting a hpi sprint2 drift car into a 25.5 VTA car. What are you guys typically running for final drive ratios on our track layouts? I know the gearing I have now is way off from what it needs to be. I am sitting around a 6-ish FDR right now with the drift ...

I suppose if the Titan 12t is too fast I could gear it down some? So literally any brushless esc/motor is good to go for open short course on dirt? No requ...

Thanks Nick. I am good on the batteries for right now. I am going to pick up a couple 5000 packs. So for open short course, is the motor requirement the same for the summer dirt series as it is on carpet? What about the stock traxxas titan 12T brushed motor? Does that compare acceptably well to the ...

Thanks Kyle. I came across that link as well and I was figuring I could eventually convert one of my Sprint2's to meet the spec without too much work if I really get into the racing thing. It is a nice clear set of rules but like you mentioned, I am not sure if the local rules match 100% either.

Hello my name is Eric and I have been spectating at a couple of the carpet races over the past month or so. Kyle and Steve have infected me with the motivation to get out and race. I have a 1/10 stock 2wd slash, 1/18 Dromida MT, and a couple 1/10 HPI 4wd Sprint2 Drift chassis. I am for sure going to...
