question for u brushless guru's

[johnperdeye]

I'm new to brushless i have a losi xxx chasis and I'm looking for a good reliable brushless setup I'm looking at doing a vxl setup like out of the traxxus stuff i thought they me reliable i looked at mamba max also but heard they were not very reliable let me know what u guys think i will just be bash around in a parking lot with this oh i will also be running lipo probally some 11v ones

You know, I would love to answer your question.

Unfortunately, I have read your post 3 times and am still having trouble with it.

It would help if you took the time to make an attempt at punctuation and sentence structure.

This isn't English class, but if you expect a response, it would help if you created a coherent post.

Thanks

The VXL system is easy and ultra reliable, and really, really fast. And unlike Mamba and some Novak systems dont run for cover when you pull out the 3 cell Lipo. The Novak systems are good too, I have 3. I have a XXXT with a Mamba Max 7700kv system in it, and dont get me wrong its ok, no real issues. But I firmly believe the Novak systems are better, with the Velenion being the high end of the basher systems.
Whatever you choose, if you're going to use Lipo's buy cooling fans for the ESC AND the motor. Availability of cooling fans for Velenion motors is virtually nil, (if anyone knows where I can get them please tell me, I'll take 10) where-as the Novak systems come with speedie fans, and generic fans for any 540 will fit the motors.

If you're looking for a good bargain, the CC Sidewinder system is much more reasonable than the mamba max systems, and the the 4600 kv motor, you can run the 3S lipo and pull some crazy rpms. The advantage that I like is that the sidwinder system is programmable, which I'm sure will come in handy for two reasons. I have pretty decent sized track that I'm building at home, and the hobby shop where club races will eventually be held is a fairly small track, so instead of just using gearing to change the setup I can also tune down with the ESC and my laptop, as opposed to keeping two motors on hand to switch out. Also, since I'm new to racing and have only been in RC for a lil while, I think the ability to adjust power with the castlelink system may be invaluable. I'm no guru by any means, just sharing some information that I picked up when researching the brushless stuff. I like the traxxas or the sidewinder 4600 because of the 3S capability.

I'm looking into the sidewinder right now but not sure if all the programming option will help me since I'm just bashing it around in a parking lot

You don't have to use the programming option. It will work great right out of the box, but the programming option is always there if you need it. You can run two motors with the Sidewinder ESC, a 4600kv and a 5700 kv. The 4600 will actually produce more power because you can use a 3S lipo battery and with the 5700 you can only use a 2S. Castle says the 4600 setup is more efficient with a 2S than the 5700, and can be more powerful than the 5700kv with the right battery yet still have more finesse. I have the programming kit, but I will be using it right out of the box for a while, and then later on if I want to program it, I can.
