HOWEVER, I happen to have here in my possession an Duratrax ESC which I used in one of my other RC projects like 6 years ago. It's a Duratrax Intellispeed ESC and on the box, it states that this ESC's motor turn limit is a motor with no fewer than 20 turns. I actually paid around $50 back in the day for this ESC.
The only downside about this Intellispeed ESC is that it doesn't have reverse (does have brake however). Not a big deal.
In light of all this, do you guys still recommend I find a some cheap, quality ESC on ebay, and find a supercharged lowturn brushless motor on ebay as well?
Let me know soon cuz I wanna get my buggy upgraded ASAP! Thanks again guys!
Its up to you, I think there are some great deals to be had on some older stuff, the examples I gave are a little on the extreme side, and may cause you to stip gears, or melt your battery connectors. there is probably a happy medium on the motor, but you cant go wrong with one of the nice older speed controllers.
new lipo/brushless systems are super cool, and that is why most people are switching, but it aint cheap.
I saw a couple of Novaks...cyclone, 410 M1c...a tekin 411G for very reasonable prices.
