Hi,
I am new to the forum, be gentle . I have two Granite trucks, love em!!! I just had my first motor failure after using a 2s LiPo for the first time. Yup, moved the jumper, maybe should have let it cool a bit but when I went to power up I had steering with no go. A/B troubleshooting took it to the motor. For now I replaced the stock motor and all is well. The 2s LiPo batteries are a noticeable improvement in everything! Faster, runs longer, jumps better with better balance, yeah!!! Now I get itching for an upgrade.
I am looking at using either the hobby wing or the spectrum esc/motor kits, they run about $104.
Questions:
I have the stock batteries and 2s LiPo batteries. Would I do better with the 3300Kv or the 4000Kv version?
All is stock. Is this the time to get a stronger motor mount plate as well?
Any clear preference between the Spectrum and the Hobbywing products?
Any other "gotta have'em" tips you are willing to share, I am all ears!!!
I really appreciate any thought you folks are willing to share. I am fairly mechanical and seem to have two roll aways full of the wrong tools . This is great grandson bait!!! We have a lot of fun bashing and crashing!!!
