xxxt motor choice
 

hey guys just joined up so im new but im trying to figure out what would be the best bet on a bl motor for me xxxt i will be racing it on a 1/8 track will be using a mamba max esc currently have a vxl motor 3500kv
and i will be runing in the run what ya brung class so anything goes
i guess my question is would the castle 5700 be to much ? or should i just go sensored ? not worried about winning just want to have some fun any advice would be great thanks

If you are going to run Castle the 5700 will be fine.

Go sensored. A 5700kv will be a lot of a beginner, I say start with a 10.5t-13.5t. When i first started racing 1/0th or when i used to i had a 8.5t and than i switch to a 17.5t and my lap times were faster because i wasnt all over, i could keep it strait and undercontrol

I run the Mamba 5700 in a X 6 buggy (2wd) and it is a lot of motor. I can pull wheelies almost anytime I want to when the dirt has any traction at all.

def. want control and not to be all over the place 13.5 sounds like a good spot to start just wanted some input thanks guys :)

I agree that a 13.5 would be a great motor to get . Once you become a better driver you can go to a faster motor .

thanks so much i think you guys just saved me a lot of broken parts and alot of ditch time
