it depends on what you have right now

at one time.. none of us did either..

if you get a mod.. more than likely you will have to get a new speedo.. they are limited on turns.. most rtr's can only handle a 19 turn.. but there are some silly fast 19turn motors out there

Skoob

speedo = esc? or somethin else..

well, what 19turn motor would you reccomend? and esc too..since i just have a mechanical one

warpig

what is your price range for the esc?

Skoob

rather not spend more than a 100..

gimme a few choices, from the cheapest to about a 100ish if you could

Skoob

anybody with an opinion?..

I don't know.. kinda pricey for a 19T.. mine cost $35... well.. I have a reedy quad magnet that cost $45.. I don't even use that.. I could hook you up..

Skoob

I donno.. $35 shipped.. it's a good motor.. I just don't race much 19T.. and only race electric on occasion.. I'll take a picture of it and e-mail it to you.. not really trying to make money here. .the motor has been drivin for 3 battery packs

Skoob

aite, just drop an email whenever you get the pic, definetly willing to buy it, what esc do you think i should get? either of the ones i linked to above?

out of those two .. the novak would be my choice.. remember.. you won't be able to run a low turn mod with that.. this 19T will do you fine though.. I'll have pics in an hour.. I have to go somewhere.. then I'll take a pic of it.. it's a great motor.. you'll like it..

there she is.. on my lathe at the moment.. the motor is in great shape.. hardly used

to me i like them both..i like electric that the motors are pretty cheap to play around with and change out different motors..electric isnt very high maintance for just bashing like i do..i have nitro trucks as well as electric..nitro cars are great also because of the speed and sound and smoke and everything..and i also like nitro because i like wrenching on my cars..runtime i gotta give that to nitro for sure..take off speed i would give that to electric because its pretty much instant when you smash the throttle..so i guess what im saying here is buy both thats the only way to go..i like them both the same i have just as much a good time with electric as i do nitro..cant go wrong with ethier to me..

Skoob

i think thats the first non-biased post on this thread about nitro vs electric

For me, i also like them both, depends on what i want to do though
