Instead of building a dig box on the RS10 why couldn't you just use two esc's? One for the front and one for the rear?

jsowens

well...you could use 2 esc's for that I think...but for me building the dig switches was easier on the wallet. Personally I'd rather go to radio shack and spend under $20 for all the stuff to wire up some dig switches than spend almost a couple of hundred bucks on 2 esc's. Then again, I don't plan on upgrading esc's until my stock esc dies.

I was thinking of doing brushless and it's not that expensive both motors I can get for under 25 bucks and then 2 esc's at 50 bucks and your done. so under 100 bucks shipped

If you can get it set up for that cheap, that's awesome. I was thinking in terms that most people do brushed setups and in a lot of MOA trucks they'll toss 2 tekin fxr's in them or something similar. Those things are practically $100 each and if you get motors on top of that, it can get pricey. I spent under 5 bucks for 2 switches, $8.99 for a micro servo, and I had wire laying around to wire it all up with, then I mounted it on a delrin plate instead of a box like some others have done.

What kind of brushless setup are you planning on using?

nbcrawler

say good bye to the gears.. if you go brushless

jakenbake

The gears will be fine it's not that hot of a setup...First off heres the motors they are 1000kv outrunners that I believe will fit they are .5mm larger then the bane-bots (dia wise)

and here is the esc's

Still haven't decided to run a decent BEC to power the servos or not.
What you guys think flame suit on

I don't really know a lot about brushless, but who knows, it might work. Like nbcrawler said...be careful about the gears. I have 13t cobalt motors in my RS10 and a little bit of fast bashing around destroyed one of my gears. I had to replace it recently, but with going slow they hold up fine. Good luck if you try that setup.
