espritmodel.com had it.

It was listed as $149 then slashed to 130. I bought it and then it said out of stock. Yesterday I looked and my order status was shipped and its not listed on the site any more. I musta got the last one he had.

Ok, so some people have said the 2240 will be too big and that's almost as bad as too small. My question is . . . what would be the perfect situation to run the 2240? Would it be 5s, 6s, 8s . . . ? I just want to know what I'm looking for so I can make my decision. Can anyone help me on that?

Thanks!

I don't think it's a matter of voltage, you have to be able to actually put the motor to work. That size motor would work well in a 1/5th scale.

In other words you're saying there needs to be a decent amount of resistance on it? Or that it needs to be pushing something more substantial than a CRT truggy?

See if that's the case then I'm a little confused. I thought for sure my 1940/10 was up to the task and it was toasted in 8 minutes. So to me, it seems like there's more resistance on these truggies in racing conditions than a lot of people might think.
