Motek EXO2 Build up and review

[HumboldtBlazer]

This thing deffinelty rips, I want to say it really feels like speeds in excess of 35mph, hard to tell without a speed gun but it tears across a tennis court in nothing flat. The thing is so fast I think if I hit anything it will just explode.:moped:

I got it from IPD Racing in Canada. GREAT PRODUCT, I actually just ordered 2 more for my Minit's as I like them better than the SPY, the only thing better about the SPY is it can do reverse but the people at the track don't like it when I throw it in reverse while racing go figure Anyways here is the linky. Also check out IPD's Motek 140mm conversion kit!.

That ESC can handle 540 sized motors!!!! they dont advertise it but so many have made the conversion to 540 with the IPD and there have been no failures that I have heard of so far only success stories.
