I have a Titan 550 12t and XL-5 setup I just hooked up, and am kinda surprised at the performance. It seems to be about the same as a standard silver can 540. Plus, I am seeing alot of reports of it being undependable/failing. So I am looking at motor options.
After searching, I see the Team Orion Method R 17t and Komodo 19t coming up as good bang for the buck options, some reporting over twice the speed over the 550 Titan!
What are everyone`s thoughts? I have the old yellow XL-5, which I think means that I can`t put my lipos in, but I do have a 7 cell lying around. This will be going in either my lunchbox or midnight pumpkin. I dont plan on racing, so obviously I am looking for crazy wheely-ing and crazy wipe outs. I guess I still want the low end torque, but definitely want more top end speed too.
Thoughts?
Also, how do the above mentioned motors compare to the Tamiya sport tuned motors?
Thanks!
