Help me select brushless setup for slash

[George16]

Welcome to RC-monster. It's been awhile since you posted in either Traxxas (I got banned) or UE.

I can't help you with your question though.

I think either would suit you well. The castle motors are smallish, but on 2s you won't have any problems.

I personally would get the mamba max, as it is a great controller and could be used in any number of projects down the line, where the novak won't do much outside of the platform you are planning.

Hey George! Thanks man. I sold my Maxx and Revo so I could concentrate on my buggy and truggy. Only recently got a slash, and also converted my buggy to a brushless. So I've been reading quite a bit on RC-Monster. Seems to be a good forum with a lot of educated people too. So how did you manage to get banned off the traxxas forums??? Did you annoy the moderators?

Anyway, back on topic. Thanks for the reply guys! I think I'll go for the MM pro with a velineon motor. Anyone know where I can get a MM pro other than from RC-Monster? I can't really justify paying US $28 for shipping... Pity Amain doesn't have them.

I'll post my setup, i'm extremely happy with it.

The electronics are MM, NEU 1412/1.5 (1850kv) on 3s 5000mah LiPo. First mod I did was a revo mod1 40 tooth spur with a 15 tooth pinion, no way am I stripping gears. Runtime is right at an hour, yep an hour on the track. When I'm done the battery and esc are room temp. and the motor is warm at best.

The reason I'm using the 1412 is because I had it already, a 1409 in similar kv would be a little lighter. The truck is not too fast either, in fact it's near perfect for the Slash. The truck is so light the motor isn't even working hard.

Anyway, hope you get you're Slash running the way you want because they are loads of fun.

That sounds like a mean setup! An hour of run time!
I'm really happy with my slash. It's still stock, and I'm happy with the way it goes through the tight parts of the track, but on the faster sections I can't keep up with the SC10's. Can't wait to get a brushless!
