Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version

Hi all,

       I recently purchased a HPI RTR 1:10 scale short course truck from frontline hobbies(mistake).

Anyway im running Turnigy 5000mAh 7.4v 2s batteries and i keep burning out motors.It came with a Firebolt 15t brushed motor and it didnt last 2 months.I want to upgrade to brushless but refuse to deal with frontline anymore.Can anyone point me in the right direction as to what motor/esc would be best to buy.Im extremely new to the sport and am loving it,i just want a reliable motor.

	Hi Blitz, Usualy with brushless the high turn motors means more torque while low turn ... more speed. I am not familiar with your car but being a short course I would proberly go for mid range , maybe like this combo http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/%5F%5F11059%5F%5FBrushless%5FCar%5FPower%5FSystem%5F4000Kv%5F100A.html Its 8.5 turns so it would give you a bit of both worlds Someone may have a better option.. good luck..
