Put it on eBay and say you want to swap it for a HV kit. I bet there's someone who have the HV but wants a GTB/Velocity for there buggy or something like that. A 3.5R for the HV4.5 is a fair trade in my opinion.
nice video. i have the same stock car , if you want ,you can see my videos in my space.i m having a lot of troubles with post.diff. , i have changed 4 diffs(1 of them was in high resistant carbonium)!!!!!! and i m thinking to sell my car.have you got the same truoble with diffs.?
Not personally, but many people on crawling sites like RCCrawler have. They are a direct drop in as well as many other 1/8 buggy diffs. People are running these in 20 pound rigs with 2hp outrunners and the axles are holding up fine.
A 3.5R with a 2S LiPo!? That's crazy! You're top motor RPM is 88200 with a fully charged pack! I can understand the overheating but, I'm surprised it doesn't vibrate apart, lol.
Stock spur gear with 15T pinion gear. That's the lowest that will fit with the stock mount, unless I get a bigger spur gear - don't think there is one. :( The current setup will overheat the ESC in about 3 mins.
hallo I have got the same car .
And I just put in the hpi flux (fire storm) motor set. (Castle creations)
Its runs great not to fast but a lot faster than the stock set-up.
En lots of power with a 8000 2s 2p lipo.
Unlimited wheely's.
Watch my video for this.
Keep it Up

COOl dude, I reckon you should swap the GTB and 3.5R to the HV running a 11.1V Lipo, you will have even better result! :)

You are absolutely right. I made a mistake buying the 3.5R :( Is there anything else (cheaper) than the HV but similar capability?

Maybe you can list the GTB and 3.5R on Ebay, you might be suprised by how much you can get back! :)

you could keep the 3,5 and only buy the hv max esc, put it on 3s lipo and that will work.

Kyosho Inferno diffs are a direct drop in and when properly shimmed are bulletproof.

You need to grind the mount a bit. Doing that repeatedly isn't good for your electronics.
