Cheap ESC for a 4s lipo

You cant use a neu 1506 or 1509 they have 5mm shafts and there are no 5mm bore 48 pitch pinions out there, plus I don't even think you could get the larger diameter neu in there and if you could you wouldnt be able to move it around for gear changes. The rc10 is a little 2 wheel drive buggy that can't handle tons of power and even if it could..how would you control it?

I didn't really think much into this project, I just thought.. I got to RC10, and a soon to be spare 1512 motor...

Possibly it would be better to just run this thing on 2s, to help keep the power down. I'm gonna think about this more, tonight I'll check out if this motor will even fit.

Thanks for the help... I'll let you know after I do a test fit.

I dont have an RC10 but a Revo spur bolts up to the VXL tranny and I run a 40 tooth tooth revo spur and a MOD 1 16 tooth pinion and this setup runs great ...you just have to remove the gear cover

I did look over the the Rc10. It looks as if the motor will physically fit. I would have to find a spur gear.

This motor does look like it would be huge. I have been driving the revo so long I forgot how small this other rc is. I'm also noticing how small the drive shafts and connecting knuckles are looking on this thing.

I'm going to think about it more, seems like a better idea might be to sell the 1512, and find a good deal on a motor/esc combo.
