Hi All,
Doing a recent build with a tamiya track and wheel set (with double gearbox and universal plate) got me thinking, is there a tracked platform out there that can (or be made) brushless and withstand or be capable of high speeds?
The tracks can be tensioned pretty tightly and i think may work in a fast brushless setup. The gearbox might have to be changed. I would try it first though, and only change it after it gets shredded. or perhaps look into replacement metal gears, or enclosing it and filling with oil.
My top pick to use would be the no longer available Tyco Fast Traxx (also found on ebay as Taiyo Fast Traxx). Even though i might have to swap out the gear box with two separate brushless RC gearboxes, i know these tracks are capable of high speeds without jumping off.
The T Rex tank chassis looks nice but seems to be getting some bad reviews for its gearbox (not being all metal) and the tracks jumping off.
Aliexpress has some nice looking chassis in different configurations. Here's the MK1S. Anyone have any experience with this?
Then the expensive Kyosho Blizzard. Youtube shows some people doing brushelss mods, which make it a lot faster.
Any input that can be provided on fast tracked setups would be appreciated, thanks!
