Im new to this after a 10 year at least break from the hobby. I was going to put nitro on my ek thunder king but im seein now brushless@ 65k rpms. Nitro doesnt seem like the way to go any more. Do you have any input? Anything will help,Thanx

Maybe brushless is to new for anyone to know much about. Im looking for parts for this old truck also.

Brushless is a great idea... I'll look into it myself. Pretty sure any standard 540 size brushless kit will work though. I was also considering a nitro conversion.

I saw one on ebay and it looked like it was bigger then a "normal" 540 motor. Im not to internet savy and would like to know who makes the motyors and controlers

Well about parts, MRC still makes parts for this truck. I happen to have a spare chassis, so if there is anything you really need that I have, we can work something out. I am keeping certain parts though.


About brushless systems, Novak makes one for the E-Maxx, it replaces both 540 motors with a single one.

The hv brushless system is not yet released for the e-maxx.they can not even give me a eta for when it will be ready! I have had two of the ss-5800 systems from novak and love them I ran one in a losi xxx-t and run one in a direct drive enforcer sprint car,these system are 99% maitnence free you may have to replace the bearing and thats it,if your looking for a good brushless it is very hard to beat the ss-5800 novak is also in the process of bringing out a new modified system to replace the 5800 I think it is to replace it,they also offer a 4300 that is stock based!

Does anyone have any info on doing the nitro conversion?? I was thinking maybe a .56 4 stroke, but what about brakes??lol

I think im going to hold out for the HV system,I read somewhere it was good to 75000 rpm. Thats pretty fast
