Ebay brushless set up.. Yay or nay?

[boostamante]

I saw this and wondered if its a decent set up. I am a noob to brushless and im sure Novak has some awesome stuff butt my pockets arent that deep.

I have never used the ESC, so I can't commend on the startup smoothness or forward/reverse delay. Ask the seller if he has ever crawled with it, and under what conditions.

chances are that those guys dont even crawl or use R/Cs's

then again he could feed me some B.S story on how awesome it works.

800 watts should be decent, but that is "power up to" which meant after 800 watts it lets out the magic smoke.

the big clue that it may not have enough power is the fact they only package it with a 25 amp ESC.

I run one of these

on one of my rigs, I found an auction for the motor only and got it for about $25 shipped. It has some serious cajones, which is what I was after. I drilled out a pinion to fit the motor shaft, and it bolted right up to an emaxx transmission.


The specs on the motor you are looking at list 800 watts as a max
teh motor I bought is only rated 180 watts higher, but the continuous current rating bumps from less than 25 to 55 amp

another way to look at it is the ESC, the motor you are looking at comes with a 25 amp continuous, and the other an 80 amp.



Granted, i am pushing around a 9.2lb rig. this may work fine in a lightweight rig.
I do have the tim allen more power thing going on too so take my advise with a grain of salt.

so that motor ESC combo you linked me to is good? all i would need is to bore out the pinion right? would it work with a wheely king?

seems like a decent combo but i prefer to stick wtih equipment i know is backed with good Customer Support.
Such as Novak

personally to me that looks like a plane or heli esc..and i agree with krawler freak novak is awesome ;)
