g-dub:
your asking about gearing without stating what kind of racing you plan on doing.
and in my opinion the tc stand for TOTAL CRAP.
i would look for another body to put on it, less shame for your project.
IMHO scion tc's suck period(ive seen one that looked good and it looked nothing like a tc) but the RS versions are HORRIBLE.
all of the upgrades and alloy you have are killer but i would put them on something a little more worth while.

sorry for the buzzkill but i cant stand the fact that RS sold out to make more money by using a different mfc and low balling us xmod freaks.
they tried to pull the wool over our eyes with fancy brand new cars but in return used a low quality mfc.

the first gen evo's were alright, then they released the second gen evo's and they got worse. now they got the titan and tc.
both are crap.

WOAH! WOAH BUDDY! i have a few suggestions.
You **NEED** an FET Stack or i highly reccomed an external turbo. i.e. a nelly
http://woahnelly.com/ motor info here aswell. so look at the charts, it has tooth info.
Check atomicmods.com FAQs for more tooth info.
I extremely reccomend getting Li-Po for that motor to perform, and comm drops.

Oh yeah, when i say **NEED** you REALLY need it.


By the Way, BTW good you got alloy parts, i wish you luck

ALSO! if u r gonna get a chassis for ur liths, go to acmexmods.com, well acually the owner is in the hospital. So you can order their chassis from undergroundxmods.com, its called the stencil. or you can just have no chassis and hanging liths......

what?! all R/Cs sold at Radio Shack were manufactured by different companies. mostly New Bright. and the 2 new bodies are just that, new bodies.



and I second the need for upgraded FETs!

just because the motor won't fry the stock FETs doesn't mean it wouldn't have been faster with them....

Also, get dem comm drops.

Yeah, I was gonna say, you would need FET's or a Woah Nelly/V2.2 board to wrk it with. The other motor you got should work well with the stock FET's, but will go alot faster with them. As for the rest of the project, good luck. Might i suggest different paint and maybe upgraded body kit.

Later,

hey on the pinion the stage 2 motor i believe has a spacer and the spur thats fpr 11 teeth i believe but im not sure. also are you going to use 4 nimh batts abd liions because thats stupid its andding weight and you would add height wchich increases cog to and already crappy car. plus im not sure but that x2 motor may draw too many amps which will make them run hot so when your driving check the heat frequently. i would have went with lipos for higher speeds and they would run much cooler

i had too edit this because the second page did not show up so i couldnt see anything
