| Newbee from the Netherlands
Hi, My name is Rob (merlin64) and i live in the Netherlands. Till now i have flown RC planes for years and the last few years mainly FPV. Because the weather in the Netherlands is often windy and/ore rainy and not very good to fly planes, i decided to buy myself a RC car. I have chosen for the "Axial Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon" kit version which will arrive till the end of this week. During the build of this car there will rise questions i guess and i hope to get the answers here on this huge forum. Rob. |

Welcome to your new sector of the R/c hobby.Maybe some heavier oil will help your shock woes.I run 45 wt. oil in mine.I Beleive Axial supplies 30wt. oil in the kits.That paint scheme looks fantastic.Keep us posted.

Painting is done now, it is not perfect becouse the material where the masks were made from was not good enough. Next body will be better Rob. 1 2 3 |

Out of those 2 I would go with the 2400kv. If the ESC you are getting does brushed and brushless I would start with a stock axial 27 turn motor. Its cheap and works well. Also it can get wet without damage. The sensored BL motors you need to waterproof.

I have not ordered a ESC jet so i will take a look a one that can run brushed and brushless motors as well and order a stock brushed motor with it. Than i have a cheap and waterresistant setup, and i can experiment with the other two motors. Rob. | |

Also make sure the ESC is sensored for the brushless. The castle MMP is the way to go but a little pricy. But it does last. Its hard to overpower that esc. Only brand I don't recommend is Novak. They seem to have issues holding in the manic smoke lol

Most of the castle escs can do both via the castle link which you may have already. Lots of guys use the sidewinder for brushed motors. It does not have a sensor tho.
