motor and esc for a xl kit

[vito]

just got a yeti kit on order. what to power it with?

[ednerin]

The Vanguard 2200kv set up with the RTR is good however if I had to choose I'd run the CC MM2 due to the adjustable BEC with the 1515 2200kv motor which is the same as the RTR just a better ESC IMO.

[vito]

thinking tekin motor esc like rsx 8

[wrightcs77]

Viper vtx8 (waterproof) and tekin 1700 TRUGGY motor

Depends if you want to run 4S or 6S as well I'd say. If you run 6S you could probably get away with a lower Kv motor around the 2000 range, on 4S the 2200 seems ok and could be geared higher since temps aren't an issue.

Good choice! Planning with this setup for my rtr soon

[vito]

yes I run 4 s packs

[ULTRA4EVER]

For the esc definitely mamba monster 2.

[vito]

lets get a list started for esc and motor

[Joshs4x4toyz]

Gen 2 RX8 and your flavor of Tekin t8. I also bash around with castle neu motors and turnigy. They are great, never had problems except bearings but it's tough to beat the t8 motors. Amazing control honestly.

The MMM2 is a good esc but my tekin combos smoke em in my race truggies. Pure quality!!!

[vito]

how fast will it be on 4 s packs tekin set up?

Hey Vito are you getting the kit and are you from the HPI Baja forum I thought the name was familiar.

yes its me same one I got the kit on order at the lhs mom helping with it pay it off

[Barndog Racing]

Nice after I sell my yeti I will be ordering the kit as well I think it may suffice my largescale addiction but we will see.I would also like to build panels for it too.

think some one will come out with a new esc and motor just for this kit?

Don't understand why they would. There are already lots of options available.

[vito]

what kv to go with?

[sanny632]

Ok so this kit is on my Radar. I have a tekin rx8 and a t8 1900 will this work well for the xl?

I doubt it the XO-1 motor will fit it's a castle 1717 so the can diameter will be to big to snuggle up with the trans. Unless someone makes a different motor/trans mount so you can mount a bigger motor. I don't think the drive line could handle that power either it would become a vicious cycle of either upgrading/replacing parts. Just my $.02
