Which Brushless motor
 

Im getting a brushless system for my xx4 for my birthday. But Im stuck with which motor to go for everyone is saying 5.5 4wd 6.5 2wd at the moment im favouring the novak system with sinitared rotor but as im only a novice driver i dont really want a really fast motor so i was wondering do i go for a 5.5 o a 6.5 or even a 7.5 as i have learnt that slow is fast. So i would like peoples opinion's on this??? Should i just get the 5.5 or get a slower motor.

Ash, I'm running a 6.5 in my 4wd. Do you think its slow? :confused:

I think if I was you I'd get slower.

6.5 is certainly quick enuf for my X6 at the mo, most people seem to hav a 5.5 in 4wd tho,

i wud go 6.5, if i were yoo....slow is fast, and 6.5 is quick enuf

I would get the LRP sphere comp and vector x11 5.5 motor. if its too fast for you put the speedo into sport mode untill you have got used to it then turn it up when you feel you are ready to go abit (or alot!) faster.
will save you money in the end trust me!!

g is rite actually....6.5 is equivilent to 9 turns anyway...so its dusnt lack speed

I heard the 6.5 was about an 11 turn. 5.5 about 9 turn

6.5 is fast enough in my Pred :)

I think if I ran brushless in 2wd I would get a 7.5 for it.

o ye...woooops :wtf:
sorry, me bein stupid :rolleyes:

I may get a 7.5 for my 4wd as i dont like motors that are 2 quick something about a 12 13 14 is fine for me. No faster thanks.

:) Ashley, For what it's worth my son and I are relative newcomers to off road and very new to brushless. We previously ran Peak Vanatge 12 x 1's in our 4WD Predator buggies but recently changed to brushless, although different names I'm led to believe they are basically the same, we went for the Nosram Matrix Evolution 2007 speedo & Storm 6.5 motor & same speedo with a LRP Sphere X11 6.5 motor.
Although basically equivilant of a 9 turn mod the power delivery is very smooth and controllable, as MarkoXX4 said you can always turn it down until you get used to it. When you've got used to it you can reset it and you don't need to buy another motor.:)

Andy is correct below is nosram/lrp ratings

NR90711Storm Evolution Brushless Motor 3.5 Turns (4T Equiv)

NR90691Storm Evolution Brushless Motor 4.5 Turns (5T Equiv)
NR90681Storm Evolution Brushless Motor 5.5 Turns (7T Equiv)

NR90671Storm Evolution Brushless Motor 6.5 Turns (9T Equiv)
NR90661Storm Evolution Brushless Motor 7.5 Turns (11T Equiv)

brushless sytem mite need
 

is it for a truck 4x4 drive like emaxx if so you will need a brushless sytem that bigger than a 1/10 scale you need brushless for 1/8 scale mamba castle and there about £250 for esc and motor from modelsport uk or is it just for a 1/10 scale truck or buggy

This was 2 years ago, im pretty sure he would have bought it by now. :p

You need to start checking the dates on the stuff you reply to pal or your gonna be wasting your time:bored:
