13.5 brushless for carpet/asphault
Also wondering- the Havov system says it has a programmable ESC.. I don't have anything to program it with.
Will that be a problem? Can I just plug it in and run it out of the box(I would perfer that)?
Novak Havoc Spec Brushless System 13.5T/3300kV

and
Associated Eraser 13.5T/Brushless Ai Rev Digital ESC

What one would you choose? and
I don't know if the havoc ESC would fit in the limited ESC space?
Any advice helps, thanks!!
Zac,
I'd go with the Novak system. You don't need anything to program it with. You just press buttons on it. I cannot confirm that it'll fit but I'd be surprised if it doesn't. Measure your car and compare with the specs on the speedo. I feel obliged to tell you that you are going to have your hands full with this setup. Mine is plenty fast with a 21.5. A 17.5 is almost more than I can handle and I wouldn't even consider a 13.5. I know you want to race with guys that are running 13.5 but you will probably be faster with a 17.5. I know I would. You can use a 17.5 or 21.5 in lots of other classes too and they have higher resale value because of this.
Ok, I feel better now. You go buy what you want. Just go easy on the trigger.
