hey all since i am a noob with electric cars idk what to look for.....i am puttin in the match batt pack for my itsy bitsy spider and ai am also going to put the cobalt 16t motor...in the descrpition it says to use aftermarket Speec controler....idk what to look for....so if ne one can give me some links that would be great

and are ESC's and Speed controlers the same thing?



Thankss Again!

Mr. Mugen

i run the novak spy and love em yes the esc and speed control are the same. ESC stands for electronic speed control hope this helps

ScGRacer

haha thanks!...ima look into them

My Feedback: (1)

I would be careful gettin the spy, it may fry itself with 16T motor. I would get a 1/10 scale ESC. I use a LRP Quantum Sport in mine and love it. I don't have a 16T motor tho, but it would be fine running that motor.

kk cause i run their .28 nitro motor in my savage and i love it...and i see they have more eletric than nitro so it cant b that bad

I run a 1/10 scale esc in my mini lst running 2 motors. Man did it help. I dont have the heat issues as I did with a mini esc and I am even running a cheap 1/10 scale esc too. Oh if you want the most power out of your truck get lipo batts that make a huge differance but dont forget the lvc to go with it

Just look for helicopter batteries, you can get them for $20-$30 instead of $50.

A good set of nimh will cost aroud $30.00. so lipo batts are worth every penny
