What BL motor For my x6

[pb1]

My LRP x11 6.5t just gone pop. So now need a replacement. But what to get.
?????? Your help would be most welcome.

I have been using a 7.5t since last august its been awesome. Quick enough but not too quick.

Grab yourself an LRP 6.5t X12, should be awesome pretty much everywhere.

Thanks for the info guys

I highly recommend one of the Tekin Redline motors, depending on the size of the track, you can base the size of the motor off of that. I normally run an 8.5 brushless motor in my 2wd.

A X12 6.5 is way to fast for a 2wd.

In the real world a X12 6.5 = a 5.5

6.5 is perfect for 2wd - I run a new 6.5 Nosram Pure and its great... only people who havent got the throttle control say that its too fast - when really they are just saying that it is too fast for them!! lol

6.5 is the future, buy 1... or be overtaken by 1!!!

6.5 here mostly too!! have used a 5.5 and the car gets the power down nicely

Go 6.5, you won't regret it

Im running a lrp x12 7.5 just perfect for a x-6 sq

X-12 7.5 in my X-6 is rapid, fast enough for anything but the longest of off road tracks.

The X-12 7.5 is easily as fast as a 6.5 X-11.

I'm starting in off road and i use a SP 9.5, it's great, easy to dive.

I'm don't find a big difference with the another when they use a 6.5 or 7.5, because i'm little more quick when we turn, and with the 6.5 a little bit more quick in the line.

I drive on little tack or there are not so gripp.

I have a SP 7.5 i will do a test.

I think what people have to remember is that the straight is only 5% of the lap. You will loose more time missing the apex at the first corner than you will ever make up by going faster down the straight. (within reason) I think Neil Cragg is the perfect example of this, his car is never the fastest in a straight line but when he is always near the top of the timing sheets.

On-topic: I'm using the CS 7,5T with 24/78 which is great on almost every track. For low grip conditions (wet and greasy astro, very dry dirt tracks) I use the Speed Passion 9,5T. Anyway, buy a motor between 6,5 and 9,5 of brands like LRP, Nosram, Orion, CS or Speed Passion (some others are fine as well) and you won't be disappointed.

@Body Paint: you've got pm

Craggy nearly always runs the 7.5 motors (from the setup sheets I have read), and he is bloody quick. Its the one I would go for.

I still stand by my X12 6.5t suggestion. The car will only go as quick as you push the stick/trigger.

6.5 on nimh or 7.5 on lipo for me

[matdodd]

Im with Phil on this one you cant go wrong with a x12 6.5, spot on for 2wd

O and nice car V-Rossi

You're not going anywhere if you "push" the trigger, Phil!
