T4.1 rtr or factory team

[Jeabajuice]

Hey guys.. I'm getting a t4.1 and was wondering whether to get the factory team one or the rtr. The factory team one has all the extra goodies. what should i do...

 

[alien13]

Factory team.

 

[Jeabajuice]

y so?....

 

[alien13]

The real question is what are you doing with it? Racing or bashing?

 

[HPI-Killer]

Either way I would get the Factory Team, not as common as the basic setup, as we call 'unique'

 

[Jeabajuice]

I little bit of both. Thats why I'm buying it. If i would get the factory team, what;s a good cheap setup?

 

[alien13]

If you plan to race it, then yes, you want the FT. It should have more "fine tuning" options for suspension.

As far as motor/esc setup, see what is run at the track you plan to race at, make sure you don't spend money on something they don't allow. Sometimes they run a strict 17.5 or 13.5, some are open motor rules...

i won't be racing at a local track. I'll be racing on a track my friend made in his backyard.

Then you can do pretty much whatever you want, there are plenty of good combos, Tekin, Speed Passion, Castle, etc. Just look for how much power you want and a price range that fits well for you.

what do u guys think??

 

[alien13]

Looks good! I'd probably narrow your motor choice down to the 4500kv and the 5150kv. The 3900kv would be more torque than you would need, I think.

 

[Jeabajuice]

Oh so the lower the kv, the more power your motor is?:\

 

[alien13]

Lower kv, more torque, higher kv, more speed.

 

[Jeabajuice]

is it good or bad to have less torque.

 

[alien13]

Neither, but you sacrifice speed for torque, or vice-versa, which is why I'd recommend something in the middle for a decent balance.
