brushless motors

[kevoasis]

I recently dug out my old 2rwd schumacher fireblade evo buggy.

It works great and theres no problems with it.

Ive been hearing about these brushless motors and just wondered if anyone could give me any info on them.

Ive heard theyre super fast so wouldnt mind trying one out.

So can anyone tell me whats the best type of motor to get and do i need a new e.s.c to cope with a brushless motor?

Many thanks!

First off. I think you might be a bit confused as to what type of model cars this forum is for. MCM is a plastic model car forum not an RC forum. If you are looking for RC car forums I would use

RC tech

RC Universe

and many many others.

As for your question. Yes you will need a new E.S.C. but many manufactures sell motor/E.S.C. combos so will get the correct E.S.C. for your motor. YOu will also need a Lipo battery pack and you will be constantly replacing parts till you can get a hang of the new power and speed. I am not going to tell you which companies make the best because it's so subjective. Go on some of the RC forums and see what others are using and by all means talk to the guys at your local RC shop. You won't get any better info than directly from them.
