very happy

So is it like the higher T the better?

Not always. If you haven't practiced much, you'll find it hard to get used to something like 3.5t.

Also, I see you've got a TT01. Make sure it's got ball bearings or else you'll run into a lot of problems. You might need to purchase a fair few spur gears too as that's a lot of power for the stock plastic spur.

Good luck!

You can modified your rear diff to make it spool by locking the planetary diff.

You can use small screw or epoxy to lock it 2thumbsup

higher T ( turn ) is less power and yes there is such a thing as to much power around 13 turns to 8.5 turns is what i find the best.

higher T means more topspeed lower t means more acceleration, this is why you want a balance of both world in your drifter so my advice would be to get a novak havok/ballistic 10.5T combo for you drifter wink

wrong way round bud

eg

3.5T = high kV = high max RPM, low torque

10.5T = lower kV, doesn't spin as fast for same Voltage = higher torque

Some of it can be negated by spur/pinion gearing,
you'd gear down a high kV motor to avoid overheating
plus gearing down also magnifies its torque.
