As an XV-01 dabbler myself, I love how this thread is still alive (and useful). Thanks Turtle |

This is a great thread. Just picked up one of these myself. I've been trying to decide on power plant. I have a castle sidewinder v3 so brushed of sensorless brushless are my options. Has your castle 4 pole been doing well for you? I'm considering that motor.

Honestly my favorite motor I have ever used on this car has been the CC 5700 2 pole. I have been using a 8.5 Thunder Power censored motor for almost a year and prefer the crazy power of the 5700. | ||

Is a sensored brushless system a must have? From what ive read it seems like a mixed bag as far as what people are running. Just getting into rally so I have a lot to learn. Been doing comp and scale crawlers so I'm tuned to smooth low end torque! :-) Last edited by jebster; 11-13-2016 at 05:19 PM. | |

| Re: Turtle's Modified XV-01 No, no, no, not at all. If you are just starting out there is no reason to go crazy and get an expensive brushless system. Start simple and figure out what you like. You may find yourself preferring the raw power of a nonsensored system, I do.

That's good to hear. As far as kv would the 3800 I'm considering be a reasonable start? I'll be doing dirt and grass mix for running areas. Not looking for insane speed. I assume gearing combos can get extra speed if needed.

| Re: Turtle's Modified XV-01 3800 will get the job done. For a long time i used a 5700kv motor, I didn't use it for the top end, but more so for slide control.

| Re: Turtle's Modified XV-01 That's good to here. My only issue know is the esc. I see mixed reviews on the sidewinder sct esc having heat issues. Not sure if that would be a concern with the xv-01 given its size. Seems like people who are having issues are running in heavier short course rigs.

Happy backend, have you tried softening the rear springs or even dropping it down a little in the rear? Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk |

Thinking about getting one of these. Would it still be wise to jump on this band wagon or is there a newer, similar kit out there in 2017 I should look at? This will be my first rally type RC

So with all the experience which would you recommend XV-01, TT-02, Kyosho Fazer VE-x or the MST XXX?

| Re: Turtle's Modified XV-01
I'd say that the choice is between the XV-01 and the XXX, really. I like my XV-01 better than my XXX, but the XXX hasn't been sorted yet- I've only had it since Christmas. Anyone would be happy with either. The TT-02 doesn't have the adjustability or basic geometry of a rally car, so it's more of a rally-ish car.
