Taking the brushless plunge......Help

a plastic spur is fine, if tou start breaking or melting them there is an issue elsewhere in your setup, I actually prefer the plastic spurs a little less heat and noise.

Ya thats what I thought. I have a but load of 47, 29 and 52T spurs. Have a 14 and 15 tooth mod 1 pinions right now. I guess will have to see what works best and go from there. May pick up some other ones when I order the motor.

If you still plan to run 6s lipo a 1600kv motor is the best bet. For 5s lipo a 2000kv motor is best. That gives you max motor rpm of around 35k. So gearing will be similar to the stock vehicle, as the nitro motors spin in the mid 30s max.

Start with the samller pinion and work your way up to the performance you want, and check your temps frequently. Tuning by temp is the best way to get a well preforming setup!

Yup, gonna go 6s. I was thinking only 4s due to my charger limitations but figured I would just get a new charger and go with 6s. Thanks for the help. Will be placing the order shortly.
