Hello all,
I know this has been asked too much times, but I have to.
I have this old T-Maxx 3.3 (49077-1 model), which has been sitting on a shelf for too long.
I removed the engine (sold), the fuel tank, and everything related to the nitro compartment.
I left the original 2-speed transmission and mechanical brakes, which I want to reuse.
I developed a small electronic board, with a microcontroller, with split the throttle signal into two different signal:
- A forward only signal to the Esc, when you pull the trigger
- A brake only signal, when you push the trigger
Now, I'm also a good mechanical fabricator, with access to a CNC mill, a lathe and a 3D printer, so building parts is not an issue.
My doubt is which Brushless motor/esc combo shoud I use for this beast.
I'm a brushed guy, I used tons of brushed system, even developed and built two different brushed ESCs in the past (still when EVX-2 was not on the market, and I needed amn ESC able to handle 12 cell NiMh packs).
I'd like to find a really, really cheap combo, a chinese one (I'm really short on money, in this period; my wife has decided to revolutionize home furnishings, and I cannot show her too big RC expenses.
There are (too) many on the market, I have no idea on which to choose.
Any suggestion?
Something I can find on Aliexpress or Banggood?
Or, at least, can you help me with some characteristics (KV, size, etc.) I should search for the motor and ESC?
Thank you in advance.
Ciao
Giovanni
