I run the Tekin FXR with a Integy V11 45t motor plenty of torque and wheel spin fairly cheap compared to others. The Tekin has great drag brakes and easy programming. If you want to go brushless the Novak goat is a good choice as well. good luck and let us know when you get it |

| I run the sidewinder with a venom 50t and have found a BEC is a MUST. at least I had got it stuck many times where there was just not enough power for the motor when the servo was bound and after getting the CC BEC, its a whole other ball game. ITS JUST PLAIN UNSTOPPABLE NOW! plus, with a BEC, its like over clocking your servo, i don't know the highest you can safely run a servo, but @ 6v, you can get away with a bit cheaper servo to start with and have more torque. something to think about! |

im running the goat brushless system, and i really like it. loads of torque, and a bit of speed. i can goose it and hop some gaps, and go extremely slow if i need it. i would recommend it to anyone, but im a newb, so take it for what its worth. lol
