This is Primarily a Motor and ESC Question
---------------
Hello Folks!
For reasons too complicated to waste time on, I ended up with TWO Kratons.
"Kraton #1" is an all New Kraton V1 with no ESC, no servo, no Tx or Rx, no shocks, no wheels/tires but it does have a NEW Red BLX 2050 motor.
"Kraton #2" has seen some use but it appears to be in good shape - that is, with the exception of its THIRD broken rear diff (assembled with no shims)!
The motor has been upgraded to a Mamba Monster II, (2200kv?) and the matching ESC.
------------ (pause - hahah)
"For Kraton #1" I'm planning on installing the good Tekno Shocks (based on what I've read on this forum - but without titanium-coated shafts due to cost). I also have a new wing, new RPM rear skid plate, front skid plate and bumper.
I'll use the Traxxas (cough, cough) Tx and a spare Traxxas Servo as well.
------------ (pause #2)
So ........... I'm planning to rob the new diff from "Kraton #1" in order to begin having fun with "Kraton #2" and then I can build a new differential at my leisure (for which I have the parts).
So ..........what's the question?
Well, I'm attempting to decide whether to install another Mamba Monster II with ESC or a 4092 Leopard with a HobbyWing 150A in "Kraton #2" (and sell the BLX or use it elsewhere) or just install the HobbyWing and keep the Red BLX.
What would you do?
Is it worth upgrading the motor?
Is the Leopard 4092 or the 4074 appropriate?
What kv do you recommend for the Leopards??? (I expect to be running 6S.)
Is the HobbyWing 150A considered adequate?
And by the way, I have a bunch of mounted dB Copperheads as well as a bunch of mounted dB Minokawa Tires. Any opinions on those two?
-------------(3rd pause - hahah)
So what do you recommend?
About the Motor? (Which one and what kv if we go with either of the Leopards? I'm guessing the recommended kv for the two Leopards would be different???)
What about the ESC?
What about the tires?
Also, any words of wisdom about the building of the diff - something I've never done!!!
-------------
Thanks very much!
