Default venom fireball 13t

is the venom fireball 13t motor any good. I will be putting it into a rustler xl5 until i can get money for a mm5700. I know its cheap at less than 20 bucks but will it be faster than the titan 12t.

I personally never had a good experience with the Venom motors in a Pede/Rustler.

I had both the 15d and 19d, both would get so hot they would melt the solder to the wires. And they where geared properly. I had the best luck gearing the 19d with 12/90 gearing, and it would still overheat. I tried both motors with all types of gearing ratios.

I say get a Orion SV2 17t, awsome motor, alot better than the Titan, and better runtimes.

I guess nobody coaght that you cant run a 13t motor on an xl5 but I finally went ahead and got the mm5700. I wasnt expecting it to be very fast but I carried it into the hobby store to get some deans and on of the guys was like OMG IS THAT A MAMBA IN THAT THING (this is in one of those suprised voices) then i said yes in a normal voice like it was just any other motor. Then he carried on on how fast they really are. Maybe i underestimate it . I cant run it till either monday or tuesday. I will do a mini comparison to the titan

Don't even bother with that, the titan is nothing compared to a mamba. That would be like comparing a toyota camery to a ferarri f430.

I'm talking speed wise...However I like German manufactures better. (Mercedes, BMW, Audi, etc. Toyota is good for the price though.

You have an r1 for half the price of a camry and still kill the ferrari. If only there were cheap ways to go fast in rc.

The best 180 dollars I have spent in rc(besides buying the rustler)
