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.
I looked on ebay and didn't see the novak that you mentioned for $1. I would definitely buy it if I could find it. I didn't see the $4 speedworks motor either, do you have links to either of these?
Yes, I have a local hobby shopt that I can go to tomorrow and check out some of this, but I really don't wanna buy anything there as it's usually like
10X the price of what I could get it for.
Yeah I don't wanna melt gears or anything, but burning off tires is no big deal
. I do want to get the buggy super fast.
What's the verdict here? Can I go brushless for cheap or should I find an ebay low turn motor with a cheap/good ESC?
