Default More power for my AX-10

Well, I took the plunge today. I sent payment for a Sidewinder ESC, BEC, and Castle Link, as well as won an ebay auction for a Holmes Hobby Crawlmaster 3014, 1000kv brushless motor.

So, realizing that my existing battery would no longer cut the mustard, I picked up my first attempt into the world of LIPO, a Venom 3 cell, 11.1v 2100mah pack.

This is my first time with either brushless or with a LIPO, so I'm unsure exactly what kinda difference I'm in for from my old Tazer/45t setup.

You will have a slight reduction in wheelspeed/volt, but with an increased voltage you should get that back and possibly more. I would suggest a slipper clutch if you have an axial tranny, and be light on the throttle under load while learning the system. An outrunner is like a flywheel. Once you get it spinning and hit a load it wants to keep spinning. It takes a different feel for the throttle.

So that's your ebay id? Hmmm, looks like I'm going to have to keep an eye on your future auctions then.

BTW, will that motor work alright with the Sidewinder ESC?
