Default Converting to Brushless

Hey,

I decided to change my Ofna over to brushless.

I am just wondering what Brushless motor and Esc you would recommend that would be powerful enough to blast the buggy around.

Thanks,
TC4

Not sure if they make one for your buggy but they make brush less conversions for some buggies now. Did you check around on online hobby shops? What Ofna do you have?

Novak makes a conversion for the Ultra, which will fit my buggy. Im just wondering what Motor and Esc I should use, Will the Novak Brushless be enough to power it?

Or could I get more power from a Airplane brushless motor, my friends dad has a mill so i can make my own motor mount. Im just brushless retarded and I want the most power for my buggy, but Im not sure how to tell which motors and escs will work.

Thanks,
TC4

Wish I could help more but the only thing I have brush less is a helicopter and I have not finished putting it together. I got a Hobbywing for it that is programmable.

Go CC Monster max esc and for motor, you can do a fiagao 9xl for low budget, medusa 60-1600 v2 for a bit more, or a neu if you want the best. Need to run at least a 4s lipo, 5s would prob be perfect. GL.
