XRAY - Model racing cars

For the speedo motor combo i would go for the EZrun sets about 9.5 motor and the 60A speedo , this will give you good speed for the money

batterys ,lipo these can be bought from hong kong for next to notging now BUT you will need a special charger for them

1st i would visit a local hobby shop and talk with the guys in there , read on here and RCtech is a good place for info , then go on ebay and see what you can get for your budget .

Don't think the brand is important for what you need, any brushless motor will be fine.

Did you go to a local shop to see what they have?

Yeah, mainly Novak and mamba... thats pretty much it for motor and ESC. Also, I agree with you in regards to driving indoors, I should also probably ask my LHS to see where they drive. I only thought driving on asphalt would be better, since there's a huge parking lot not to far from where I live.

OK so I plan on getting the Tekin RS ESC with the motor combo.. now here's my questions...should I get the 17.5T or 13.5T? any difference in the two,,,and what are their run times for say a 5000mah lipo battery?

Also, in regards to Lipo batteries, what does it mean when they say "35C" or "30C" ??

Thanks again everyone!!!!

17.5 will have faster rpm but less tork than 13.5T, for you I would say the chiper the better.

The "C" is the maximum current the battery can deliver during discharge, e.g. a battery with capacity 5000mAh and 30C is able to deliver 150A maximum, and probably during a short amount of time.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Mamac, i thought 17.5T would have more torque than the 13.5T, and lower the T- value, the higher the RPM...???
