Hello,
I have done a bunch of research on this but there is a lot of differing ideas and most of it was a few years old. So any up to date advice will be appreciated.
So my friend has an Axial Wraith Spawn. It looked cool, and I had a bit of fun with it doing some skids in a gavel patch. I decided to get into the RC side of things too so we can go out for a hoon together. I have 95% decided on the RR10 bomber. From the research I've done it looks like it will need a few upgrades for a bit more speed and stability to make it fun and do what I want to do. Also be at least as fast as the Wraith Spawn.
My usage: I want to just go out for a hoon and bash around, a bit of speed, some hills, uneven ground and some jumps, etc. I don't think I'm too keen on the technical crawler side of things, but I like having the option to go that way if I want too.
I'm just want to start with the RR10 RTR and a few budget upgrades mainly for speed, secondly for stability at speed/turning. I don't want to sink a lot of cash in to this straight away. Over time I am sure I will do that.
That's where I finally get to my question. What are some good, budget upgrades I can do to the RR10 RTR to increase speed.
My thoughts were: Drop in a 20T brushed, with a 3S for starters. Also a aluminum Servo Horn.
Then second round upgrades, after a couple of months: RR10 Aluminum Links Set, possibly tires for stability. Beef tubes.
Then down the line further go brushless and new ESC.
Thoughts for my plan? any other suggestions? will the 20T keep up with the wraith?
Thanks
