Best motor and esc for a truggy

Hey guys, Whats the best motor and esc to use in a 1/8 electric truggy? I want to race it as well as bash with it. cheers.

It depends on what you want. What speed are you aiming at? Do you have any limitations in voltage for racing?

A 1518 1800kv from CC (which are currently on sale, so be fast) with a MMM and a 5S LiPo will give you plenty of power and speed, plus it will be efficient.

A 1520 with 6S lipo, geared for 39-40mph. Unbeatable efficiency (runtimes, temps...)

nuz69, I put my 1520 in my MBX6Te today and geared it for 41mph but it lacked a bit in responsiveness compared to my Neu 1515 1Y 2200kv. I was running on just 4S with a 20T. You run a 14T pinion on 6S ?

I would attribute that to the lack of RPMs. I would adjust your throttle curve to be a bit more aggressive and it should fix that.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking as well. When going about 30 mph it started to come alive. Seems like I will be ordering some more hv LiPo's soon :)

If your looking for a Hyperion 6s 45C 5000mah pack, shoot me a PM. I have a NIB.

It's logical, low Kv, better controlability. Try to downgrade the pucnh control... I use my 1520/1Y in my MBX5Te on 6S and 13/46 ratio. No need more...
