| Brushless System Opinion - Which is Best for MY needs?
Ordering a Twin Hammers soon! Can't wait!! I wanna go brushless for sure though. I'll lay out what I want in general:
I'll be using the Twin Hammers as a do everything vehicle; while leaning towards speed over crawling. (I have my SCX10 for crawling/scaling) I'm running a Novak Goat system in my SCX10 and have zero complaints. Considering a Timbuk 2 13.5 system. Yay or Nay? |

MMP and a Tekin 13.5. Both brand new are under $200. The nice thing about the MMP is you can fine tune all your adjustments. |

How is low end speed and control in low gear? Does it crawl? Creep? I'm really looking for a good setup that is fast enough to be fun in high, but also gives me enough control to crawl in low when needed. | |

The LPR SPin super seems like a great compromise on price for performance. I'm on the fence between the LPR Spin Super and the Novak Timbuk 2. Opinions on both would be much appreciated. |

I have a Timbuk2 13.5 system in my Dingo and I absolutely love the thing. It is buttery smooth, super reliable, tiny, and it has never run out of power. The BEC even works. For some reason Castle can't put a decent BEC in any of their 1/10 ESC's, but Novak can in a speedo the size of a postage stamp. I don't have any experience with the LRP Super Spin system so I'm definitely interested in hearing more about it, but I can say that I don't have a single complaint about my Timbuk2 system.

Tekin Redline 13.5 brushless motor: Redline Gen2 or you can run the new ROC motor: ROC, cost a little more. Pair it with the MMP | |

Good input guys. Let's keep them coming. Still no comments on the brushless hobbies LT4 120a? seems comprable to a MMP for almost half the price.

I have used some of the other generic brushless systems and they're definitely not as smooth as CC or Tekin. | |

| Re: Brushless System Opinion - Which is Best for MY needs? go for 17.5! in my point of view, the 13.5 would be to fast, the car is supposed to be a crawler/desert buggy, not a medium speed desert buggy and a super to fast buggy in one! plus the 17.5 will have more tourque if you plane on going with 2.2''s what do you guy's think?

| Re: Brushless System Opinion - Which is Best for MY needs?
Well just an update. I did go with the Brushless Hobbies LT4 and a HobbyWin XERUN 13.5t sensored motor. People don't use the esc over a MMP, etc. because of lack of marketing, and cause it isn't "top shelf" name brand. I could care less about a $50 sticker. The programming is immense on the ESC. Start up in so buttery smooth. I'm very impressed. $55 for the esc and $49 for the motor. And its as smooth as any MMP system I've ever driven. I'll update after very thoroughly testing. Running ValueHobby Gforce elite series 3s 2200mah 30c as well. |

I've ran my first LT4 in so many models with a bunch of motor combos mostly on 2s and a few on 3s. It now resides in my WR8 Pushing the stock 4000kv 4 pole. One of my favorites was the LT4 with a Viper 10.5 on 2s in my old 1.9 Wraith. VERY fun combo. In my current heavy, full cage truck the LT4 did a fantastic job pushing a 3300kv Pro4 with a smooth low end and monster torque. The motor actually turned out too much for my driving style but an LT4 will definitely be going back in it. Data is a must on your choice, I'm very curious how everything fit and how well the response and control is with your setup. |
