I think you need one with 28mm diamiter and the lowest RPM/V and for an ESC you will need the same or a bit less working current of the motor. so i think the bes for a clod would be: two of http://www.bidproduct.com/part/Produ...0MOTOR_13.html and one http://www.bidproduct.com/part/Produ...S%20ESC_2.html and for a single motor set up you could probly use the same motor with the 20A ESC. Im not realy shure though. Heres a bigger motor with a 28mm diamiter but you will need a bigger esc and it spins faster. http://www.bidproduct.com/part/Produ...w_MOTOR_1.html |

I just ordered two 27 MHz AM receivers. Figured for $3.00 each, how bad can they be? Total with shipping was $11.00. I'm not expecting Futaba/JR quality, but if they work in the first place, I saved a bunch o' money. The speedos they have are all airplane speedos. No reverse. Some of the batteries look intriguing. If I were a lipo guy, I'd hop on some of the 2200 11.1's. The 22-20 outrunner looks like it would work, and for the price, I thought about it, but I'd rather have a Revolver. Having a spare outrunner would make me need to build yet another rig  |

On the outrunners, the blue ones all have 3.2mm shaft. The gold ones have 3mm shaft. http://www.bidproduct.com/part/Produ...0MOTOR_10.html It would mount up with a motor plate at the very least. These motors look exactly like the junker ones off ebay. Horrible finish, small single front bearing, lots of play in the rotor. Laminations are probably a mile thick (bad efficiency). As I said in another thread, Maybe I have seen a bad representation of the motors. It would be worth a shot getting one to try out though. |

You generally get what you pay for with electronics, and pay for what you get. While you may get a motor that will work, it'll be a cheese-dick motor that will eventually fail because it's operating too close to its limit. The Axi, Park and Revolver motors (all around $60) are known quantities that perform. If I were building a foamie airplane that I knew I was going to lawn-dart, that would be the motor I'd go with. But something that's going to be in my truck for years, I want a good one right off the bat. The receiver, either it works or it doesn't. I'm never going to be more than 50 feet away from the thing anyway |

well as for quality I think the brushless motors look pretty good. I have a mamba max 7700 brushless system and the motor looks remarkably close to the there 50 motor theirs http://www.bidproduct.com/part/Produ...w_MOTOR_2.html I think I will be buying a few motors soon |

I got my 4-channel AM receivers today, but only one of them works. They're sending another one free. The power taps aren't pinned, so if you use an RX pack, you'll have to plug into channel 4. Other than that, what can I say? It's a receiver, it receives. Even if they'd said tough luck it was half the price of a Traxxas receiver, for the pair of them, shipped. Think I'll order a few more. It's actually cheaper than waterproofing |

I got a replacement for the dud receiver, so I ordered six more The S&H is a little heavy, but each receiver still ends up costing just over five bucks. |

they have one servo in there that has 3kg/cm which comes out to be almost 269oz/in of torque. and that's at 4.8 volts. that should be enough for crawling. http://www.bidproduct.com/part/Produ..._SERVOS_3.html | |
