Motor Selelection for an HPI Sprint

[BUGDRY]

WHat motor should I get to run with the original ESC. I think the ESC can handle up to 15 turns. But I don't know which motors are a good buy.

how fast do u wanna go?

Are you talking about the Nosram (sp) ESC? All I can tell you is that the original owner of my car smoked his with the STOCK 19 turn with stock gearing in less than 4 hours. I'd dump it and buy an LRP Runner or something similar and put a 17 turn in it.

the norsam is rated to a 16t, i ran 19t spec with stock gearing and my esc was fine

i want to run fast. :D I know increasing the speed will reduce my runtimes, but that's ok...within reason. What motor; 16-19 turns, single/double wound and brand is good to buy?

I'd say go with a Speed Gems, or a Reedy Quad Spec. Singles provide more "punch", while a triple provides more top end. A double is a good inbetween motor.

If you have alot of cash you can also buy the orionV2 its a little pricy but you dont have to cut it very often. I run an 8/2 in my tc3 and ive run it for a good six hours total and have not had a drop in performance.
