Upgrading To Brushless...First Time
 

Hi Again

Gonna upgrade to brushless in the next few weeks

I found this combo

http://www.jemodels.com/electric-mod...tegory_id=1276

Would this be good enough for racing with?

It's a 13t brushless motor

Thanks

That link doesnt seem to work... what is it?

its the ETRONIX PHOTON 2.0 13T BRUSHLESS MOTOR & ESC COMBO

(If the link doesnt work here are the specs)

What do you think?

Cheers

PS - I currently have a 20T brushed 23500rpm Motor, I guess the above would be alot better with the right gearing?

Hi Guys

I now have the above brushless system installed (and just waiting for some lipos to come)

Ive ordered 4000mah 25C Gens Ace 2s Lipos?

Will this be ok for racing?

With the Etronix yes it will be fine. Not the best but will do for now.

Lipo will be fine too.

Cheers, I tried it with the nimh battery pack the other day but I guess with lipos it will be a little bit faster?

I'm running a 21/76 gear setting (stock)

I've hopped up the twister now, got cvds and turnbuckles now so hopefully should be bit sturdier,

Once I get into the racing, I'll think about upgrading to a better car

I'm only a beginner :)

Yes it will be quite a bit faster with lipos, slightly higher voltage, but the important bit is that they're much higher voltage under load. That means you should get slightly higher tops speed and a lot stronger acceleration.

That combine with the fact thre about 80 grams lighter
