In this riveting episode of Tomley RC, we witness the transformation of the PD Racing TK10 from a humble brushed setup to a ferocious brushless beast. Priced at a modest $179.99 in the UK, the TK10 offers unparalleled value in the world of RC cars. The decision to upgrade this budget-friendly basher stems from its striking resemblance to its more powerful brushless sibling, promising a thrilling performance boost without breaking the bank. The team at Tomley RC sets out on a mission to bridge the speed gap between the brushed and brushless versions, aiming for a perfect balance of power and control.
As the TK10 hits the track, its stock speed of 30+ mph with a nickel metal hydride battery falls short of expectations, prompting a switch to a lipo battery for a much-needed kick in acceleration. Discussions with PD Racing reveal a shocking revelation: the initial speed claims were in kilometers per hour, not miles per hour, setting the stage for a major speed correction. The upgrade process unfolds with surgical precision as the old electronics are stripped away to make room for the high-performance brushless motor, ESC, and servo, meticulously selected to unleash the TK10's true potential.
The heart of the upgrade lies in the installation of a 3660 brushless motor, carefully tailored to match the dimensions and power requirements of the TK10. With attention to detail and expert craftsmanship, the team fine-tunes the gear mesh and pinion gear for maximum efficiency and speed. The result is a transformed TK10 ready to conquer any terrain, from skate parks to dirt tracks, with newfound agility and power. Tomley RC's journey showcases not just a mere upgrade, but a testament to the relentless pursuit of speed and performance in the world of RC car enthusiasts.
