Motor advice please

Some would argue that the wanderer is more reliable, simply by virtue of the better bearings, that some say it has. Personally, I'd go with the one that I thought looked better. LOL.

Imo id go with a wanderer with RCM heatsink.. its pretty much indestructable since the rear and front will stay put.

Wanderer with heat sink it is sounds like just what I am looking for. Thanks

Anytime, im sure you will be happy with it.

Will I also need a UBEC and cutoff with this system? If a cutoff is needed please advise as to which one and include a link if you could. Thanks

No cutoff neccesary.. the Mamba IS the best cutoff on the market. :) It's fully pregrammable.. and easy too.

But you do need to get a ubec. It's simple to install... and you can get them for only $15.

Don't forget about putting a plastic spur gear on there too, if you haven't already.

glassdoctor do you have a link to the ubec?

Scroll about halfway down this page for a few cheap ubecs $10-15 ea

I have two of the $12 ones there... no problems with them. I also have a Kookflight from RCM, and another $15 one from somewhere?

I have found this BEC to be very reliable. Its small, light and good quality for the $15. Im running it on almost every one of my trucks and never had a problem with any of them.

I ordered two of those ubecs from truerc. I hope they work well enough. I don't know yet. It's been about two weeks and I still haven't gotten them.

I'm having horrible luck with getting my orders lately.

Sounds perfect for racing and hard bashing... you should have room to gear up a little for speed runs.

Bummer the Wanderer 9xl is out of stock would the 10xl be good or should I just go with the fiago 9xl?

By the way this is deffiently going into a x1-crt with the hb front and rear 43/10 diffs and a 51t center gear powered by 2 Orion 4800 lipos controlled by the Mamaba Maxx.

Speaking of the diffs do I have to get a full diff assembly or can the HB gears work with the ofna diffs? These are new and it would be a shame to toss them aside.

Thanks

they should fit, all parts should.
i think.
cuz they've both copied kyosho.
