maybe because I don't have alot of cash like you people do! 17yrs. old. got a job but don't make that much. Can't go all out on 1 thing!

I hear ya, but be patient, save up and get something that will work...

would you buy this?
http://www.rcuniverse.com/market/item.cfm?itemId=620199

2200kv will work in a truggy. Does need a MMM or equivalent ESC though, not the MMP.

But as far as the listed item, you are only saving about 60 bucks vs. a new one (http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXVHA5&P=ML). Personally I'd just wait and get a new one with warranty and all! Unless maybe I could get it for 150 or so. Its used, even limited amount of time, warranties don't transfer, etc.

Ok well I will get that at towers. Seems like an awsome deal and I just sold my xbox today so I will be able to get that!

2200kv WILL work, but not a 36-50 can...

The CC combo would be your best bet.

Got some more stuf ordered feels like it's Christmas lol. Here is what is ordered/pending
Jammin x2 hobby pro conversion $50
2200kv castle/neu motor $80
Losi xcelorin esc (newer version. caps are higher thenfan) Can't pass up the deal ! Brand new $100

Thats about it! Can't wait. P.S don't bash me about the esc

I went with the 5800 35C Zippy Flightmax myself for use in both my RC8Te and Savage Flux 5B.

wish I could but don't have that kind of money:yes:

well bad news deal on motor fell through. How well a fiegio 8xl or 9xl do on 5s? Or this
http://rc-monster.org/proddetail.php?prod=medusa3660

I know im asking alot of questions but im very new to brushless!! Not nitro though lol

Yeah the 36-60 medusa is good, get the 1600kv for 5s.

with my mount i need a 540 sized 5mm shaft motor? any ideas

Again, people have already made suggestions. 1800-2200kv Castle/Neu or Neu or Tekin motors, the 1515 size.

Yes, they aren't cheap. Save up your money. Or you can buy a 540XL Feigao clone and end up buying the Castle or Tekin in a few months anyway after the XL motor burns up. Your choice.

You should have listen to the people you asked for help. If you need a 540 sized (36mm) because of your mount you are very limited in motor choice. You should have supported RC-Monster, the company that pays for this forum, His motor mount would have let you use any motor. Good luck with the Losi esc, I haven't heard of anyone that has had good luck with them. When you choose your motor, because you are limited to a 36mm I would look for a Medusa, at least a 70mm if not 80mm long, or a Neu 14xx series. If you are going to go the cheap route make sure to get an XL motor. As for matching up motor and voltage, your gonna want to get your peak motor rpm in the 30-35k range

+1 :great:
