Any Budget Brushless Recommendations?

Post by i crash cars »

Looking to repower my 10T. I've been running 15T motors most recently. I'd like more power but still want to be able to control it. Truck has a freshly rebuilt Stealth trans with a B4 slipper setup. Looking for a system that is comfortable with 3s power if I occasionally want to go crazy, 90% of the time I'll be using 2s. Also what pinion and spur would you recommend? Budget is $75 or less.

Thanks in advance!

Hobbyking Xcar 120a, $40 and pretty much any budget hobbyking 8.5T to 13.5-ishT BL mill.

I would NOT go 3S. the above seteup will already be 2x as fast as your usual 15T. Leave 3S to the youtube top-speed heroes.

Any particular reason you like the 120a over the 60a or would that be a good choice as well?

You want the higher power esc if you are running more than a 17.5.

I have the trackstar 17.5 combo which is really nice. You can get a 13.5 or 10.5 also which would be plenty fast.

Yes, I've been eyeing up the Trackstar 13.5 combo. What pinion/spur would you recommend with this?

Check the b4 manual for suggestions, then multiply by 2.6/2.25 to adjust for the internal difference.
