RC-Monster Forums - View Single Post - Brushless Revo or brushless CRT .5 help is appreciated

Hello all, long time no see. I got into rc crawling and have been doing that for a while. Im looking to get something quick to play around with but dont feel like going nitro. I just sold my 8ight and am in the process of selling one of my crawlers to fund a new brushless project. Im debating between a revo or crt .5

For the CRT .5 i will use:

RC Monster motor mount
Mamba 5700 or 4600 motor(already have)
Mamba Max esc
7.4v Max Amps 6000 Lipo(or similar)

So im pretty much set on that. My main question and point of this thread is what the heck should I use for the Revo?

Im planning on the RC Monster 3 piece motor mount and carbon fiber chassis. But what esc/motor would be good for this. Im planning on running a Max Amps 6000HV 11.1v lipo battery.

Would this voltage be ok? I just want a setup that isnt going to be too stressed and that will run well. Its mainly going to be a basher with possibly a race here or there.

Any suggestions are appreciated. Also which pinions do I need? I plan on using a Duratrax ICE to charge the lipos.

If I go the Revo route I want to make sure I know what I will need before I drop such a large sum of money on it.

Thanks,
James

Thanks, James I only have crawlers...finding a brushless project to begin though :) Last edited by jamesbernatchez; 05.31.2007 at 09:17 PM.
