Default RE: The Evader Coalition ~ T.E.C.

ORIGINAL: w98seeng

I am sure this has been covered before, but I am not checking out 500+ pages to search for it, so here it goes.

I bought a Venom Fireball motor for my Evader and it's dead after running it for about 12 batteries. I am going to return it and I want to know what is a good 17T motor to get in the $30 range.

How do you tell what is good from the little descriptions? Here is an example of different motors in the same price range, how to know? By the way, I use the truck on road and in the grass, all over. I don't race, just having fun.

Team Orion 17 Turn Double Formula SV2 Pro

Any other suggestions are welcome.

By the way, I am using the stock ESC, is it possible that has something to do with the motor dying, or is it that the motor is a piece of sh*t?

Many Thanks,
Ian


if you hav't bought one yet then get the team orion 17t double formula sv2 pro. i had the same one, or similar and it is amazing. i used to bash with that motor all the time and never had a problem with brushes or over heating. exelent motor for the price
