New Brushless motor for FTX Blaze....

[mi3.5]

Hi,

I want to order a Losi brushless combo for my FTX Blaze and I would like some help choosing which one.....

I want it to be as 'slow' as possible so do I need 9400Kv, 8200Kv, 7400Kv, or 06000Kv?

Also what tooth pinion would you recommend?

Many thanks in advance!!!!

the kv rating is the RPM per volt. so the 6000kv would the be slowest

I've gone for the 6000Kv option to start with. If I find I want more speed I can simply upgrade the motor as the speedo will be compatible with them

Can't wait to get running my 1:18 Xray. Just waiting now on a charger...

Cheers Guys - I will get Russ on the case on Monday!

Does anyone know which pinion to use in the FTX?

Scott - I can't wait to see the little Xray go round the track....

Ta,

I been reading a little on this,11/49 is a good combo to keep everything nice and cool, but to get an 11 i think you will need a 5mm shaft on the motor,if the Losi system is 5mm then cool if not then i think 12 is the smallest. If the blaze is the same as my shark then standard is 13/45 i think.

It depends which one of those motors you end up buying. You'll need to know that before anyone can recommend a pinion. It also matters what shaft diameter the Losi motor has.

Mongoose motors have a 3.2mm shaft and RW Racing make anything from 9t and up. On a 10.5 Mongoose (7300kv) we commonly run 10/49 or 11/49. The stock Blaze spur is only a 45.
