Truggy budget build

[RetroThutmose]

I got a tekno et48 2.0 on the way and was thinking of doing a budget build using parts I have and cheap stuff I can find on Jenny's.

I was eyeballing these spektrum motors and team corally servos. Anyone have major red flags against these? Seem impossible to beat for the price, imo.

I would rather go with a rcjuice/hobbystar motor on a budget instead of overpriced junk spektrum. That’s based on experience, not opinion too.

I have the Corally CR7225 servo in my Typhon. It's a good servo. I bash my Typhon, it's held up great & is quick. Perfectly fine servo. I run a HobbyStar Supersonic Rocket motor in it as well. Super powerful. Plenty of go.

As long as you don't set your expectations high, you'll be fine. Your gearing, tires, driving style, run time, and servo saver setting will play a huge role in what is going to work... and for how long.

I've raced enough to know that fancy electronics don't win club races. I think the biggest downside to the motor is being uncensored. I'd really just like to have equivalent power on the straights and give up a little of the finer throttle inputs on tighter sections. Our track is pretty balanced and I think I could do repeatably with something budget oriented. I can always upgrade down the road.
