what brushless for me

[Ohioskills]

well im going brushless and I wanna stay in the 75/100$ range ive read alot and cant come up with an answer since i have no idea how a 4600kv would feel compaired to a 7700kv right now im running SV3 and 2x 2200 3s in parallel on a ultra 4 i do more rock race an trail than crawling

what ur guys take on a motor for me?

those are both really high kv's for our applications... and if not sensored, they are gonna suck doing anything but high speed runs.
Hera is running a Pro4 4000kv (sensored) with a 2 speed trans geared as low as I can get it... and that's worked pretty well.
Mellon's, my "scx10" is running the Pro4 3300kv with great results.

sv3 isnt sensored

[johnnyh66]

I didn't think so... just letting you know, those motors are not going to be much fun imho.
I run a 7700kv in my foff and it 's really only good at going balls out.
Anything else is just frustrating.

i was using them as a ex. there are just so many i dont no where to start thats why i told my use an rig its going in

[johnnyh66]

Honestly, imo, non sensor brushless systems do not work well for rock racing or crawling... at all.
I first ran the VXL with a Summit 2 speed when I built my first scaler... it was ok at best.
If you really want to run brushless and enjoy it, you have to go sensored.

Get a sensored ESC like an MMP, then take some time and keep your eyes peeled here or on ebay for either a Tekin ROC 412 3100KV or a Tekin Pro4 3300kv, they can be had for about $100 if you take your time and look around.

right now iv got a 21t an i like it a lot an new esc isnt in the budget i just picked up the SV3 maybe 3 runs on it i was wanting input on a brushless motor

[redsawacs]

Thats a tough call. Like stated earlier, if you're going brushless and you want slow speeds, you almost have to go with a sensored motor and esc. BUT, I have used brushless motors without a sensor and they work alright since I'm not rock crawling with them.

The TIMBUK2 setup and the MMP/pro4 are a common setup but those are costly.

With the castle ESC you have, you may almost be better off running a really nice brushed motor. I am a fan of Team Brood myself but I'm guessing you want to stick with brushless. In that case, maybe a 2200-3500 kv motor at best. Anything higher would be too much power and you'll be replacing drive line components.

You can always buy a sensored motor and use it with your sv3 until you are discouraged enough to go buy a MMP.

SV3 isnt sensored i can still run it?

yes, in non sensor mode... basically it behaves like any other brushless motor.

3300kv and below should be "good".

i didnt see that in the castle link ill have to look but thanks for a kv range

The Sv3 isn't sensored so there isn't anything to adjust besides brushless or brushed. Just hook up the sensored motor without a sensor wire and run it in brushless mode on the esc.

[Ohioskills]

ooh ok thanks i didnt want to see a 70$ esc go up in smoke iv done it once an learned my lesson

[Edgarfierros]

4600KV, I don't think you SV3 can load 7700kv.
