I will be buying the Losi brushless conversion, the Losi 14 tooth pinion and the Losi plastic 45 tooth spur gear. I also ordered a Zippy 5000 4S 25C pack from Hobby City. I am undecided on whether to buy the Castle Mamba Monster 2200kv combo or just the speedo and a Neu motor. I keep hearing the Neu motors are better than the Castle/Neu motors. Is this true and what is better and makes them worth the more expensive price? I need suggestions from the experienced people here. I will be racing and not bashing at all. Also, if I decide on a Neu motor, which one is recommended for racing and what do all the numbers mean after the motor part number such as 1515 and 1512? Also, any suggestions on where to buy the Neu motors online?

Thanks,
Ty

The pit runs 20min A main so battery life would be a concern for you. 6 min quals should be no problem. Brad, Ernest and I have no problem running 20min main with our 6S setup.

Im gonna drive up again on sat and come race. I dunno if there will be a big crowd with the NC and all but o well.

Ray have you temped your motor at all after putting a pack through it at 18/46. I want to know what it was. I am still working on gearing mine correctly and dialing it in.
