CRT.5 conversion

[NiCad]

I got my CRT.5 kit in. Keep debating just buying the nitro motor or stick with my B/L plans...... I got it to do a B/L conversion. I have looked around at systems. I am coming from 1/18th B/L stuff so the 1/10th scale is new to me. The max RPM's on the bigger motors and all are greek to me.

I am asking for motor suggestions. I want good good power for racing 1/8th buggies on a club level. Yet wouldn't mind putting in a high cell count lipo for speed runs.(local 3.3 jato needs tamed) I was thinking maybe mamba 7700 on a 2s then for speed do a 3s. Is this to much rpm for the 7700 to run on 3s. Will the 7700 have the tq i want on a 2s?

I am open to suggestions on power plants. I really like the quark in my 1/18th so that is a consideration. I am budget minded as well. So power for the money is very important but I do not want to sacrifice reliability. I know you can get a cheap parts and have to buy them again or get good stuff first. I like to do things once soooo.

Thanks for the all the help, awesome site. I am planning purchasing the drop in mount and spur that comes available from Mike here at RC Monster.

later,
