I have a Traxxas slash 2WD and I will be upgrading to brushless soon and I have done research but for around 200$ or less what would be a good brushless system I have a few in mind but would like to hear some input but , the sidewinder, dynamite fuze, novak havok, losi xceleron, velineon .... any experiences with these or other suggestions

Willystylz

how bout the LRP Shortcourse combo? Sensored, 9.5t, and less than $150.

tabrown

Try the xceleron system.

tabrown shut your mouth and go to xbox ( for the record people i know tabrown in real life and he is a goofy frucker)

jakerz04

can you send me a link to a website with info on it such as kv ratings lipo abitlities ... reviews

Shop Hobbyking for the best dels. You won't be disapointed with their products and you'll have extra money to spend on upgrades. Just my opinion. Sorry i couldn't be specific about which sytem but go check out their site when u have time. Peace.

You dont need brushless yet litle man its all about brushed i have smoked many brushless cars with my brushed 5 6 and 7 turn motors and the stock traxxas esc will woork down to a five with the right gearing! SO SHUT YOUR ****ING MOUTH ABOUT BRUSHLESS YOU LITLE PEICE OF SHTT YOU WONT EVER FULLY UNDERSTAND RCS YOUR JUST ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE STUCK SPEED FREAKS JUST HAVE FFFFUUUUNNN WITH YOUR RC MAN THAT WHATS ITS ALL ABOUT!!!!!!!

Willystylz

easy turbo

you go have fun rebuilding your 5, 6, or 7 turn motors every few runs...

acez15

wel ya but when u dont need a 300 dollar lipo and a 300 dollar charger it saves u a good bit of money!

jakerz04

shut your mouth austin.... forum rules... dont flame... specially when people arent doing **** to you

acez15

Austin?

last time I checked a good 2S lipo isn't even close to $300, and you can get a really good lipo charger for $100-$150. If you were actually running a 5 turn brushed motor it may be a good idea to get a lipo...

Over the long run a 5 turn brushed motor will be more expensive than brushless after replacing several rounds of brushes and cutting the comm.

So in comparison running brushless isn't that expensive, it's actually cheaper than brushed (especially with the cost of some of the sensorless brushless systems out there)!

dude it just said philo il you cant change your location to chicago and trick me and i saw your xxx-t post a while back on craigslist and the picture was your room and it said e-mail me at acez_acez @.djfns.lkcfvjnb

acez15

YES but iv been in the game a long time and i just cant see the point of goin brushless my uncle works at horizon hobby and knows his stuff and im tellin you brushed is the way togo! in my opion
and jake we goina race when we can my xxxt brushed against your slash

jakerz04

and you probably will win but idk what your problem with me is ... ty went brushless and you havent gone off on him

acez15

you are a complete asss hole to everybody u meet man! thats my poroblem!

jakerz04

so what is the problem with me going brushless

Willystylz

oh there's plenty of points for going brushless..........unless you're driving a crawler. Maybe your uncle has a comm cutter at work and he rebuilds your motor every week...........then it might start to make sense.

I'm not saying a 5 turn brushed motor isn't fast, it's faster than stink! But definitely wouldn't make sense in a Slash.

jakerz04

i might be but i didnt do or say anything to you till you went off on me for "being an ******* to everyone i meet" but you only know and talk to one of my friends on a regular basis so how would you know ... or did i just do something that pissed you off and you just take the assumption im an ******* to every one meet (which you only know about 1/8 of the people i have met)

acez15

ya its in my xxxt and ya its fast as hell

Willystylz

it won't be for long...

Hahah this thread is funny. A 5t motor will last what, 3-4 runs before it's overheating in that XXXT? I ran a 10t motor in a buggy and it lasted maybe 3-4 batteries before it slowed way down and needed to be cleaned out.

Aces I hate to break it to you, but you've been getting your info from the wrong people, or you've really just shot your mouth off without doing any research about brushless.

Brushless does NOT have to cost $200 for this or $300 for that, etc.

For $300 you can get a good brushless motor, ESC and 2-3s lipo AND charger. AND you can go drive it around without ever worrying about cutting the comm, replacing brushes every 5-10 runs, always the same performance each time out, no wear and tear because there is no comm and brushes. Oh excellent low end torque AND top end, something a 5t brushed motor could only dream of.

Sorry you're living in 1995, time to accept some change i.e. brushless is the way TO go for CHEAP. But do what makes you happy, like you said, it's whatever makes you happy, and if maintaining a hot single digit turn brushed motor is your thing, I say do it. I'll stick to my 2s lipo and brushless motor and run circles around you while you are already on your 3rd heavy 6-8 cell Nimh pack that's overheating trying to supply that amp guzzling 5-7t motor. There how's that for generalities?

Well said sir!!

BRUSHLESS don't listin to your OLD HIPPIE UNCLE that has not clue about the hobby except stirring ppl in the wrong direction so he can profit of the CRAP he sells and then repairs it. LOL your UNCLE a CROOK
