Hi im very new to electrics and ive just bought a Tekin RS esc and Tekin 448 motor and im planning on buying a B4 FT and two trakpower 3200 2s lipos. Will it work together? Also would it be pretty quick if i gear it right?
Thanks

Yeh m8 it will all work together pritty much all electrics will work togerther (exluding esc's and motors) insted of buying 2 3200 trackpowers why not buy 1 5200 or similar and just top it up inbetween race's thats what most peeps do

and yes if geared right it will be fast however winning a race is not all about speed , its about racing lines and setup and smoothness at driving , trust me thats what it thought but now i have a slower motor and a good line and im winning more and more

Hope This helps

It's a shame you've bought the 448 motor because that is a sensorless design and it won't be able to use the extra performance and control that the sensored RS speedo offers.

As far as your cells go I'm sure they will be fine although a lot of people make do with just one LiPo pack. I'd probably spend the money on just one 5000+ mAh pack, as well as the added runtime it is also quite a bit heavier which means you don't need to hunt around for as much ballast to make the car handle.

I wont be stick with that motor mate. I plan on buying a better one when i can afford it. Im not that bothered about handling as i dont race just mess around.
