The only setup i have seen for that cheap is the VXL velenion setup from traxxas.

how much is the cc and sidewinder? the hpi flux 5700 kv system is what i have, it's about 150 on ebay and 165 or something at my local hobby shop, i got a gift certificate for 100 bucks for my lhs so i went in there and ordered it.

it's the same as the cc they made it for hpi


heres the cc kit on ebay for 135 with free shipping.

thanks. how fast will it go with 2c. 3c.

they say you can't go higher than 2s with with the 5700
it's fast, no idea how fast but it's about uncontrolable it wheelies over backwards even when it's rolling and i nail it, i ruined the stock tires in one day.
guessing 40-50mph maybe more but i can't keep from breaking something.

I've broke the front bulk head, rear a arm, from a arm , differential main gear, the motor shaft broke off, balded the tires completely, and i dunno what else has broke, but i'm sure something else.

in a slash the Vxl setup is too much.

 

[alpinehyperlite]

The VXL setup is one of the LOWEST KV bl setups out there.......

yeah in a 2lb truck. I wouldn't think that racing one or even bashing one with a fast as hell motor is fun. unless you learn some serious throttle control
