I have a feeling that the guy before me didn't know what he was doing and just put the biggest of what he could find in there. I am thinking now that I need to replace the motor AND esc, and not just the esc. I will check out what you listed. I was also looking at some of the Associated Reedy motor/ESC combos but not sure what I am looking for. So you recommend the 21.5 turn, and something around 2000kv?
They typical F1 motor is 21.5 or 25.5 depending on the rules the cars are racing under. Even if not racing in organized competition, either of these will provide good controllable power. Anything faster (fewer turns), especially on and unprepared surface, will be way to fast.
