| question about going brush less on an rc18t
I have a 1/18th rc18t roller that needs work and was thinking about going brushless,but dont want to spend a small fortune on a mamba etc for the use its going to get.Are there other brush less systems under different names that may be cheaper?I have no experience when it comes to buying brush less,hence the questions,and help would be appreciated |

There are alot on ebay from China. You can get a god bit of info on www.hyperminis.com as well as the toyz forums too. You can pick up a Dynomite C4 motor and speedo for cheep like I did with mine. Hope this helps. |

Just remember you get what you pay for... if you get a cheap brushless it is going to perform as a cheap brushless... not as well as the expensive one... it is all the same in brushed and brushless. I bought a brushess system from valuehobby and it works but it's performance was not even close to a novak system I had to buy later.

I got a reedy set up from tower hobbies in mine. $70 and works great. Check it out Team Associated 18R Subaru Drifter Last edited by nascarkeith; 06-25-2010 at 09:18 PM. |

| http://www.b-p-p.com/product.php?pro...9&cat=0&page=1 This is the cheapest place I've found for a mamba. I bought my original mamba way back when the mini-t was the only mini on the block. Anyone else remember the video of a brushless mini-t pulling wheelies on a golf green? Haven't been the same since. |

That is a great price,I just picked up a complete new Turigy 4400kv,Brushless ESC 18A w/ Reverse and a program card for a price I would be crazy to pass on,all brand new.Will see how it works,being my first time brushless,if I fry it,then not a big lose. http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/s...idProduct=4198 http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/s...verse_programm. https://www.unitedhobbies.com/UNITED...ogramming_Card |

| Re: question about going brush less on an rc18t
I know this is digging up a very old thread but I have to state that just because a brushless system is cheap price wise does NOT mean it is performance wise. I have a $35 Toro brushless system on one of my Rc18t,and a $100 mamba system on another.The Toro system out performs the mamba by a long shot. I am out running brushless 1/10th scale slashes with a $35 brushless system in an rc18t.

Oh and if I'm at half throttle and punch it,it will pick the front tires up off the ground. I need to add some spoilers to keep the thing planted.....I have 18mt tires on it right now and at full speed they just about double in size. I'm going to put 1/10 touring tires in it and do a top speed run....
