Depends on what speed you want. I use the 3300 motor/3s lipo with a 14T pinion on stock tires and it's plenty fast (~30MPH) for such a small vehicle off-road.
What's it going in? A CRT.5 or similar? If so, you'll love it on 3s.
I have a question... What if I have a NEU 1509/2D/F on 3s, 15/46 gearing, is this gonna be a good setup too???. The reason I asked is bec. I see more people here having Medusa setup...
Yeah, a 1509 would be great, even better than a Medusa. I think people get Medusa because it is easily attainable and cheap in comparison, yet still on the higher-end of the motor list. The only thing you might want to watch out for is the 15xx series is larger in diameter; ~44mm vs 36mm of a Medusa. So that might limit gearing, not to mention if you decide to keep the mechanical brakes.
I think i am more excited that i shoulnt snap anymore shafts like i have been on my castle motors being i got the 5mm version.
Cant wait to get it at this point going nuts not having my crt.5 running. All i can say is on 3s my castle creations 5700kv motor was just insane. So hopefully this will be more drivable. Than that. And possably go 4s in the future on it.
hi boostedg60rado,
the motor you just got is what i want, i have searched but where do you buy the pinions for the 5mm shaft, the truck i'm going to buy(thinking) is the hyper st-e.
from what i hear it is a great motor for the money. The pinions just search a mod1 pinion or a mod 1.0 Should be almost everywhere now a days as 1/8 conversions are so popular right now.
