Questions?? Rally car: velinion vs sidewinder v2 system
I have an HPI sprint 2 converted into a rally car. I also own a traxxas vxl system and a castle creations sidewinder v2 system (5700kv). I would like to know: which motor is best for use in my rally car. (Note: i will gear both motors approprietly.) I will do both offroad and onroad driving. I know I will use the sidewinder esc though due to the fact that I love it's customizability.

I'm running that castle system in my Tamiya DF03ra rally car and its nuts. Some low speed cogging due to not being sensored but much faster than really needed. Not saying that it isn't a complete blast though.

The velinion seems to have an extra edge but the sidewinder has more tuning options. Both of which are brushless.
