TB-02R - which motor should I get??
I have been out of rc cars for years, but I decided to buy a new car, a TB-02R, with a Skyline GTR body [8D]. I am a novice at best, but I am trying to decide on a good motor that is fast but does not compromise too much on torque. I also don't want the run time too short. I was thinking maybe anywhere between a 15T and a 19T motor, but there are just SOOO many motors out there.
Also, anyone know long a 15T motor would last with a 2400mah NiCd battery versus a 19T, just an estimate obviously? I haven't found any threads that relate runtimes with different turn motors and different capacity batteries.
Thx.

RE: Another motor question....
I would estimate a 15 turn motor will run 15/19 of the time as a 19 turn. (a fraction) get it?
An example may be that if the 19 turn ran for 9.5 minutes the 15 turn may run for 7.5 minutes.

RE: TB-02R - which motor should I get??
Would a Novak GTB 5.5 brushless do okay with this setup?
I am thinking about this one rather than the 4.5 because I'd rather have a little more torque than all out speed.
Any estimate how fast it would go with this motor?
Thx.

Depending on gearing 45mph+ would not be hard I don't think, as long as you use decent batts.

RE: TB-02R - which motor should I get??
I have heard of the 5.5R going 50+ mph in a ST (well people say they do it, I have no true speeds), so if they can do that, I imagine if you gear it prtty hard, and run with some really nice matched packs, 55mph shouldn't be out of your reach.
I saw a video of a 4.5R doing 63mph on GPS in a FT TC4.
