Delving further into the world of rc speed runs, I decided to give my Typhon 3s a 6s transplant. Buggy is a standard 3s BLX with plastic driveshafts, towers, chassis, center shaft, slipper spur gear and differential spurs. The internal gears of the differential are very light weight metal. Shocks were upgraded from plastic to the aluminum bodied 6s variety. Tires are Dboots Hoons white. Electronics are straight swap from the Arrma 6s line. BLX 185 esc and 2050kv motor. Both are running 28 000 rpm 30 x 30 fans for cooling. Servo is a DS3225 and the steering has been upgraded with a Hot Racing aluminum set up. It is currently running a 20t Mod 0.8 motor pinion on the stock 57t spur. The esc is currently "floating" in it's location. It is basically wedged in which will suffice for simple speed run passes.
First passes in less than ideal conditions, showed a consistent 63 to 64 mph top speed. I can't imagine the plastic slipper spur, dif spur or those light dif gears can hold up to this kind of punishment long, but nothing else gets replaced unless they are damaged. Pinion size will be the only guaranteed mod, with a possible addition of a metal slipper spur gear if the plastic one fails.
