What would be a good motor choice for 3s Lipo. I'm thinking a basic xl 4200 it will be in a approx 6lb vehicle, I want to stay with 3s as I have them already and will fit the custom chasis I am building. Would like the most efficient system I can find. Thanks
what kind of vehical? im assumeing a 2wd. the xl motors will probably be overkill. i think a regular basic would suffice. as for kv, i would go for a 3600 if its a xl. if not, i would go with a 3100 probably... a 3100xl on 12 cells~4s lipo is INSANE in a emaxx. so i would say a light truck with 3s and a 3100 would be plenty fast. actually, i think that there is a certain point to where you can have to much power for such a small vehical.

The vehicle will be put together from different parts, I have Maxx parts, ofna shocks and also a center diff, stampede and rustler parts. 6 pounds or less is my goal wieght, I will try to make as much of it from carbon fiber as possible, I am comfortable working with cf and can also laminate some of my own sheets, so I plan on making my own chasis and shock towers, I will be using maxx wheels with crime fighters
