With the last track I could race nitro at going all electric it is time for me to learn electric. Now the last time I ran electric being all brushed and nicad batteries I need to learn about brushless and lipo batts. I do have a good balancing charger with heat monitor.
I have been looking at speed controls and motors. Now as I understand the wrong speed control can burn up everything. So, I have been looking at Castle Creations combo kits, figuring that to be the best way to start out until I know more and can buy separate and know I am getting the right stuff.
More than anything I do not want to make some simple mistake that costs me a bundle in the end because I missed something stupid. What are the common mistakes? What is the best way to get started with electric? I will be building an entire new truck so no conversions here, I do still rather enjoy my nitro. I just want to be able to race as well.
Thanks in advance, Shaun
