Ok I went out to see how much LESS money I could spend on a BL setup and still be fast enough with the BIG boys and this is what I found, I hope your sitting down.. This is what I bouhgt for motor/esc/battery pack,and program card..


first off the motor, the motor still had to let me be in the 10-13.5 class that I run for SCT's

and now for the ESC which had to handle the battery pack I was going to use.

here is the breakdown

Motor 29.90 + 4.90 shipping
ESC 26.76 +FREE SHIPPING
battery 22.13 +12.12 shipping
card 7.95

total 86.74 :whhooo::whhooo::whhooo::whhooo:

and it flies just as fast as the big boys...
 
I believe it. Cheaper in some cases now days isnt always a bad thing. The last motor I ran in my Caster ex1 buggy was a $30 2300kv from hobbycity and it ran just as good and just as cool as the Medusa I had in there before.
 
I'am also going to run this same setup in my RC10 worlds car that I run indoors on wood floors, we will see how that old 6 gears trans holds up:D:D
 
I bet thats super fun!

it sure is, this is about 12 of us that have them, it is only RC10's and the floor is all wood,were running like an oval for now.. We put window silicone on the tire so we get traction other wise the tire would just spin....I will get a pic of my Rc10 up soon..
