ORIGINAL: supertool28

Hi all. I've decided to sell my MBX6 with Ninja 21 and get a Fusion. Any suggestions on motor and speed control set-up. I want at least as much power as I have with my Mugen set-up. Currently I can out power anything on the track. I want to stay that way.
I'm really looking forward to changing to electric. Any help would be great.
Thanks
I have seen 3 setups and ran 2 setups on my Fusion. I had a Medusa afterburner and Mamba Monster ESC and the bottom end was great, could clear anything a nitro could plus about 10 feet LOL! Top end I think lacked a little bit but was on par with high end motors down the straights. I was using the original Fusion battery setup with (2) 2S packs ranging from 3200 up to 5800's

I also seen and raced against another Caster Driver with the Tekin setup for motor and esc. He was running 5S packs and everywhere around the track I was on par with him BUT the straight. He made me look like I hit reverse! Tekin is a very nice system.

I am now running the Schumacher Speedpassion Silver arrow motor and ESC. Have not raced it yet but I can see it is a big step up from the medusa motor. Bottom end is way more as well as acceleration and top speed and very smooth. I really like it and seems easy to drive. Nice thing about it is you do not need a laptop to program it. It already comes with a handheld computer digital programmer!!

I have heard of a couple guys using the Mamba complete setup but do not know how good they are as I have not spoken to them or seen them yet.

Hope this helps.
