So I decided which 'lectric, but motor/battery/esc???

I'll most likely get a rustler xl-5, and I look at it...12t motor, and I was getting the 7cell battery, 35mph eh? People say it really burns out the engine...yes? If not, drop the new engine idea, but if it does, what would you recommend for it? (moded motor plz, no brushies

too much $$ o.O) I heard the 19 turns are nice...but if so, then would the stock xl-5 esc be good for it?

Thanks!

p.s. I do not want to replace ANY motors, so I heard about the angled brushed motors? explain please? recomend the Orion "something"???

it does help end the motors life, it is pretty much "hit and miss" when it comes to them. sometimes they turn out to last for EVER and others die faster than fast. It all depends, the XL-5 can handle a 12-Turn motor limit for 550 size motors 15-Turn motor limit for 540 size motors so, anything larger than a 15 Turn motor (540 size, which is more efficent) should be fine, 19T are a good match of power and efficency
