Tons of people run it and many other castle products. They are a great company in general. What will you be running it in?

great motor, in a buggy you will have to gear 13/48 and turn the punch control to about 30-40% with lowest timing. this thing will rip,i run one in my truggy and have more than enough power. for the money you can't beat it. i have ran mine for almost a year no problems

4 cells is pleanty for the 2200. This combo is the most reliable on the market right now. I like the Tekin stuff better for smoothness but the reliability is not there yet.

Save some money & just run the Losi conversion it works perfectly fine & you don't need the clutch & mechanical brakes. Just more stuff to cause problems IMO.

Question? How do you think a 3s(Thunderpower 3s 40c) Losi buggy, would work with this 2200kv system?


Thanks

Haha that's great!! Love it!! That's going to be favourited from me!

Yes, the Monster V3 with Neu-Castle 2200kv is the best combo out there right now. People will drool over your setup... expensive, but worth every damn penny.

On a side note, I've called their tech support before. The guys that answer the phone are so great and helpful, answer all your questions and really take care of you, A++ for support and quality.

1 word, awsome!

I bought one for my buggy but decided it was too much for it on 5S so I moved it over to my LST2. On 5S in my LST2 I can allmost do double back flips with it

On a side note, I tried it in my buggy, before I pulled it out, with 3S and geared it up from 12T to 16T and I loved the power and it actually ran cooler. It went from 130* with 12/48 on 5S to, 118* with 16/48 on 3S.
