Speed runs 2200 or 2650?

[snellemin]

It took me a while too figure out what really works and doesn't in my cars. But it was fun doing so.

Spare motors in my tool box. There are another 10 in cars. Kept the best ones and sold the rest. Still not as many motors as some other pimps on this forum. When I get bored running one motor, I just swap a different one in and boredom is gone.

Dude what the fu@# so at last ive found the reason why no companys got motors whats the best one ya got for on raod 1/8 scale?

What are the criteria to the speed run? Drag race? Top speed? Ease of use?

I wanted a simple way to run 100mph, so I bought a hyper 8.5 with a 2650 in it. For normal running I gear for 50mph on 4s. If I want, I can throw on a big pinion and 6s and run 100. I don't need custom spools or crazy gearing setups to run 100mph. Isn't that fast enough?

A 2200 can achieve a higher overall top speed given enough room and wacky gearing, but they are out of sight by that time.

I can't wait to see some triple digit speeds fellas!

Best one? Dunno, they all have a different feel to them.

Smoothest sensorless is the C50 Hacker w/Tekin
Beastly is the BigMax Pletty
Castle is good for where torque is needed
Favorite Sensored would be the Novak motor and Tekin second.

I haven't used the Hobbywing, Thunderpower, LRP or Orion sensored 4 pole motors. I would only buy a used LRP when they start to pop up. I have no interest in the other ones.

To me:
Speedrun ~300ft
Dragrace ~132ft or whatever distance agreed upon. My son and I do 78ft drag races. Tons of fun with crt.5.
Top speed ~ whatever I'm happy with, which is 70-75mph. I don't have space for anything faster. Don't have time really to got out, just to do some triple digit speeds.

So by me having a limitation of speed and distance, I have to get creative to get more out of my cars. That is why Mike Revo spool will be a nice asset to have. I get to use cheap plastic spurs and save my pinions from getting eaten up so quick. Plus get to us a wider variety of motors and no loud gears to disturb the neighbors at 11pm.
