I need to find a cheap brushless kit for my rustler that does 70mph with 3S LiPo. I don't want to spend to much and nothing over $169.99.....Thanks

Not an expert. But Castle creations sidewinder combo for 1/10 i think runs around $130-$150. The cool thing about that is that I believe you can program various settings into it and the cost factor.

there are a few different motor options if you check out castle's website.

I personnally am thinking about the traxxas velinion system because its so easy to turn it into training mode so you can let others give it a try.

Just as a note of caution, i'm not all that sure that I'd want a "cheap" brushless system controlling my rc vehicle when it's going 70mph....

you have to pay extra for the castle link with the sidewinder but its still a good choice. im torn between that or the vileneon for my rusty beater

If you want the speed go with VXL it is 3 cell lipo compatable.. I have the 4600 sidewinder and it is 3 cell compatable, But the 3500 VXL has more torque and can be geared higher for the higher speeds...

RE: Brushless Search

the sidewinder won't handle the speeds you want, it can't run 5700 on 3s

VXL on 3s is your best bet...
