ok ill try that thankz

[JoeTheShmoe]

Uhhhh... A good esc is more like $120.00-$150.00.
At least one that will handle a 6 turn.......

[JoeTheShmoe]

and to go 65, youd probably have to be on-road, so slicks would do the job a little betta.

[JoeTheShmoe]

double post....

I agree with Joe, a 6 turn motor would fry any $40 speed control available. I have a feeling it will also fry a tranny real quick, too.

[ZenLosi]

Sorry, tranny is slang for transmission. I feel a 6 turn motor is too powerful for an off road type transmission. It would probably break rather quickly, IMHO.

[BadRacer]

Zen is right. As it seems these trucks can take a beating and still keep going but were really not made for speeds above 35 or 40 (i think)

[brandonp]

explain tranny?

[brandonp]

ok well i got a novak duster 2 sport which can only handle 12 turns so i need to get another esc?

[Dash]

Yes, I was wrong... I realize, unless you are going to get a .12

[Dash]

There you go, I editeded it.

[brandonp]

ok so if im staying with my novak duster 2 sprt then i must have a 12 turn motr but what te best moto to get or whould i buy a new esc?

[Dash]

Get a motor that is 5-9 turns and return the esc for one that can handle your motor.

[Dash]

And you want a 5-9 motor because thats the best range for racing/speed.

[jayskiia]

whoa there dash what kind of racing is he doing? if he is off road racing ona tight coarse the 5-9 turn range will send him off the track in every corner. i have a 13t double speed gem in my rustler for dirt and it is plenty fast to run with t3 and xxxt.

[Dash]

He wants to go 65mph.

[broken_parts]

Unless that guy has a brushless motor ;)

[brandonp]

o doing off road s what should i get and i will be in races

[Dash]

What are you wanting to do?

[brandonp]

racing off road

[greg_in_michigan]

first of all, you need to get one of my carbon fiber chassis!!! I haven't made the first one just yet, I still need to order the carbon fiber. But as soon sa I do, everyone will know about it!!!

[Dash]

Hmm... OK... Are you wanting torq or max speed?
