So, this is my mission to create the fastest truggy I can. Hopefully 80mph but can also be used off-road without changing gearing
Think I've decided on a Truggy roller e.g. Arrma Talion or Kraton.
I was thinking of buying a used Tekno EB48.3 roller, but this can only fit a small motor. Also I currently have an Xray 808 that was going to convert, but decided I want a truggy rather than a converted buggy.
For the ESC I need something powerful, perhaps like EZRUN MAX6 or Traxxas MM2 with extra capacitors (like the Traxxas XO-1 has).
For the motor I need something big, like the Castle 1717, geared up. Or similar sized motor. Was thinking about the Castle 2200 but worried about heat. I'd also need to use special gearing to reach top speed.
For the lipo, any decent 6s 40C 5000mah pack should do. Not sure if XT-90 will be able to handle the current though.
Does anyone have any thoughts? I'm worried that such a large motor will drain the battery quickly. I used to run a HPI Vorza with a Castle 2650 on 6s, and it would last about 25 minutes
