I just picked this up this roller from ebay for well under a 100.00.
Its the Homoto Mega E 1:10 scale 4wd buggy. All it needs is a servo, motor/esc and pinion gear.
I wonder how it will do with a castle motor in it or would a firebolt 15t motor/esc (brushed)?

Any and all suggestions welcomed.

it should handle most 1/10 scale BL systems, however i wouldn't dump more than $150 worth of electronics in it just because in the end its still a Himoto, not anything your LHS is gonna carry parts for. i would go with electronics from hobbypartz. cheap but reliable.

don't look like a bad design actually
a cheap 35A HW BL ESC would probably work in it something like the 9t or so. They work great in the tamiya buggies which look like they would have a similar weight.

Thank you both for your comments.
I have a brand new sidewinder motor for it, 6900kv. I am thinking it may be too much and have condsidered getting a tacon motor and use it with the sidewinder esc.
I also have a brushed motor that was stock in my blitz which is a 15t firebolt motor/esc. I have planety of servos.

ps
I buy batteries and stuff from hobbypartz.

I'd say 4000kv max for a motor after that you are in on-road territory.

I have been thinking of getting a tacon motor to use with the sidewinder esc instead of the sidewinder motor which is 6900kv.
I suppose I could use a tacon with the cc esc.

yep, you sure could. which is definetly the correct root to take.

Thanks. and with that set up, I wont have to worry about the wires to the motor being too short.
