brushless or brushed for drifting?
Is it okay to have too much power for drifting? Because if it is, i'll probably just go with brushless since it is maintainence free.

RE: brushless or brushed for drifting?
Do it man. I will never go back. I out drift everyone now. The power is a bit much at first but like anything you learn. When guys with brushed do a ten foot sideways drift, I can do twenty all day long.

RE: brushless or brushed for drifting?
there is nothing wrong with going bl. novak makes a bl system witch is equal to a 27 turn motor. novak ss4300. would be a great system.

and when it goes Bang.. or overheats its more ex*****ive to fix..

RE: brushless or brushed for drifting?
I am running a Mamba MAX 5700 BL system in my TC4. I love it. The motor never gets warm, nor does the ESC. There are a bunch of 540 size BL motors to pick from, just pick your favorite BL car ESC.
I dont have time for motor maintenance AND i had the BL system just sitting in a box, so that is why I used it.
I think long term, BL is cheaper, plus a lot less "motor involvement"

RE: brushless or brushed for drifting?
DAMN! I did not know that!!!!
Wow..you just gave me a whole new outlook on the options!
If the Mamba MAX does do both Brushed and BL motors, then it is the BEST ESC BY FAR, IMO.

cann a TT01 handle a Mamba MAX 5700 BL?
what up grades would u need
i have TT01R
so i got bearings and alum drive shaft out of the box, would i be able just to drop that bad boy, then u could increase your cell count correct myabe to 8
i was more looking at the 4600kv set up says its as fast as a 12t
would this be safe for TT01R

The mamba max motor dropped right into the stock TC4 motor mount.
As far as upgrade, I think you have most of them..just upgrade as you break stuff.

RE: brushless or brushed for drifting?
No reason why it would not work in the TT-01R. The 4600 motor would be great for drifting...but you would NOT need to increase your cell count to 8. I am running 6 and it is fast enough for drifting.

Users guide. Pg 5 per adobe, pg 8 per the guide.

Reversing Brushed mode:

this mode if you wish to use

black motor wires from the ESC.

RE: brushless or brushed for drifting?
I would go with novak ss4300 that chiman2 mentioned. A buddy has one and i tried it and was really impressed. Has good power, and personally I liked it better than my setup (ta05 gts novak, d1-drift 19T motor).

TT-01 will Handle a 13T Brushed motor so I think the 4600 would be safe..

RE: brushless or brushed for drifting?
i woudl think that a tt01 can handle more than 13t because people have put bl systesm that are like 8 turns and its fine. and no he does not mean the stock esc. the stock esc is rated for 27t. but tamiya says its actually rated for tamiya motors not others. but its fine.
