Status: offline 		I am looking to get a mini lst. But I want to make sure that other 1/18 scale motors will work with the stock esc. Will two of these http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXJJG3&P=ML work with out the esc failing? Are there any other esc that can work with two motors? And what pinion/spur should I start with? And please suggest any motors that would work better. I do not want to go brushless. Thanks for any help.

Status: offline 		They would work, but those arent exactly the best choices for a mini lst. You really want two micro mods such as the URC Krystal or Beast Raptor, or Trinity Cobalt. Dual Krystals work fine with the stock ESC.

Status: offline 		OK, I looked for the motors you suggested but all I could find was this one http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXLPV1&P=RF . Will two of these work with the stock esc? Were could I find the URC Krystal motors, I couldn't find them. Which would you think is the best at speed and acceleration.

The Krystal can be found at
www.unitedrc.com
The Raptor can be found in the one18th shop at

Status: offline 		I have a few more questions. Why would the mini max motors I suggested first not be that good of a choice? And dose Trinity Cobalt motors come in 17 turn, I only found 16 turn and that wouldn't work, right?

Status: offline 		The motors you posted wouldnt please you, you would be better off buying the Insanes then those. I went brushless, and its cost me less then a nice brushed system so Im happy.

Status: offline 		OK, I think I am going with the Trinity Cobalt 16 turn motors or I am going brushless. What ESC should I get to use dual Cobalts? Thanks for the help.

Status: offline 		To use dual cobalts you will have to get a no limit ESC such as one by Novak. That paired with the motors and your spending over $50 more then brushless.

Status: offline 		Well that settles that, when I get my mini lst I am going brushless. This is what I have in mind http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXHAH9&P=RF . What pinion/spur should I get? Will this fit right in, what else would I need? Is there a different system you would suggest?

Status: offline 		I would NEVER run a mamba in the MLST, go to www.b-p-p.com and find a motor you like besides mamba. You want 370 or 380 size.
