Has anyone tried the Losi brushless motors in the Recoil yet?
Think the 7400kV will work good enough with 1200 to 1400mAh NiMH, or would a lower/higher kV be better (6000 or 9400)?
How do you eliminate wheel hop on the front tires?
I'm running and VR3 on NiMH now, while its pretty fast for a brushed motor, I just can't hang with the brushless/li-po guys. Not getting out driven, just flat out getting killed in speed. The Losi is bigger in diameter than the mamba and I would rather get that, unless of course they are really bad then I'd get the mamba. I race like once every two months, so I can't justify sinking the money into brushless and li-po, so one will have to do right now and I think brushless will yield a bigger gain (unless I'm wrong). Have an esc so I just need the motor.
As far as the set-up goes, I just need to know how to generally get rid of it in the front tires (ie. lower/higher weight oil, less/more pre-load, lay down/raise up the shocks, etc). I know how to get rid of it in the rear and tried the same things to the front with no luck. The front right tire was bouncing like a rabbit on steroids when I turned right.
The mamba motors do fine in recoils. the only reason mine gets real hot is because im running an 8000kv/3s lipos with a big gearing (im racing nitro cars ). the 6800 or 8000 w/ 6cell nimh or 2s lipo will be fine. as for losi stuff never ran it ive heard plenty of stories about esc's though (1/10 and 1/18) going up with 3s lipos.
as for the wheel hop, either your car is tweaked (most likely because its only 1 side) or your front end is too stiff.

noob question about recoil: will it wreck on asphalt?
Hey,
Can I run the recoil outside: on sidewalks, tennis court, basketball court, parking lots? Or will it ruin the car for the carpet racing I intend to do later on?
It's a noob question, I know.. but please shed some light here...

Ran mine with a Mega ACn16/15/1 (9200Kv 6 pole monster) and it was freakish fast. I have a Neu 1107/1.5D (8500Kv) that I was going to try, but I made a mistake on my 60A ESC setting and it smoked a couple of FETs.

WHAT KIND OF SPEED CONTROL WOULD YOU RECOMMEND FOR THE SET ABOVE?

The eZRun 60A by Hobbywing. It is the only one that would turn that motor. I tried my Mamba25, Quark 33 and even a Kontronik 70A Beat car and the only one that had no issues was the Hobbywing.
