hello everybody I have a 1/16 e revo (merbe) with the 12t 550 brushed motor and I am putting a castle sidewinder sct combo and I have everything under control except even after all my research I don't know what I need to get to put it in i.e Tenbol motor plate/mount pinion/spur....
thank you in advance I know you all will help

merbe = mini e-revo brushless edition. Obviously not what you bought but what you're converting it to.
Parts for that RC? Hmm, maybe Traxxas?

actually I did buy it with the brushed 12t 550 anyway you think the traxxas pinion/spur should fit?
I'm thinking of running 3s lipo is it good idea? (will prob get 2s as well) and if so what gear range would I be looking at so as to be not running too hot.

ok......
Today I went to my friends house and that made me realise just how close to dead my motor is and he also made me reconsider what motor I should get because well firstly water resistant and so on.
so to cut to the chase I no longer know what brushless motor/esc I should get for my mini revo.
pics and specs would be appreciated and I have to admit I am not a fan of amain hobbies although I do quiet like the toyz.
thank you
