Post what brushless combo

What are people runnning in there B-Max?

Im looking to upgrade to a brushless system and the losi combos seem good value at around £115.00.

Ive heard that there have been problems with the software is this the case.

Also dont know wether to go for 4.5t or 6.5t they dont do a 5.5t combo.

Is the 4.5 too powerful for bashing and possble club racing.

Any recommendation/advise please.

Hi mate,

If i was you i would stay away from the losi's, i have had nothing but trouble. But some people say there fine.

I run the Novak GTB System, with a 5.5r in my BMAX. Go for this system or either an LRP, also with a 5.5.

Novak System:

Currently not in stock, but marc can get them very quickly.

LRP System:

Also check your gearing when running these, check my setups in this thread as it is listed on there.

Hope this helps,

Ryan

thanks for the advice just confirmed what i thoought about the losi, thats a shame as they are a good price.

Think ill wait for a bit and save the money for a better system like the ones you guys mentioned.

As for the 4.5 t i like the idea of all that extra power just for fun but could the esc be programmed to tame it a bit for racing at club level.

Maybe the 5.5t would be a good compromise.

You can just set your epa a tad lower , also the nosrams got different settings that you can adjust from aggressive to smooth .

Just to play devil's advocate, I'm running the Losi 6.5 combo in a B-Max without issues. The software and/or programming card could be less fiddly admittedly, but once set up you're away.
