I'm picking up my Serpent 960 tomorrow. Yay, my first 1/8. Been pouring over this thread and many others, and am trying to sort out what motor and battery sizes to use.
I want it to be a pure track car. We have a 1/8 size track that I race 1/10 on. There are no other 1/8e cars, but plenty of Nitro's.
With electric brakes, single speed, no clutch, what would be preferred out of 6S 1700kV or 5S 2050kV? I'm hoping I can raise the top deck to fit a 5S in, otherwise it's twin 3S outriggers, which I don't like the idea of much.
Ideas?
