hello everyone,
today is my first post here in hobbytalk, so here is my first question,
I have a Electric RC monster 1:10 truck from SEBEN Racing (i guess its a german company, but without any doubt, the product is Chinese)
its normal speed is about 30 Km/h. I would love to see him speeding more then 60 or 70 kmh,I have read in Internet that brushless motors are the solution to the Speed maniacs;).
Could you please advice me,
what type of brushless should i buy,
from what company,
what top on that should i buy,i mean like Heat sinker and so on.
my Budget would be around 50 Euros.
thanks you'll in advance

Desi, unless my currency converter is mistaken, 50 Euros equals about $67.00. In addition to a brushless motor, you will also need a BL controller.

The TeamNovak website (http://www.teamnovak.com/) has a lot of information about our brushless products. You may want to read up a bit and let us know how you plan to use your equipment---racing or fun driving.

Once you decide how you want to use the items, your level of experience and your budget, choosing a good system is pretty easy. Novak offers a broad line of almost ready to run BL systems in all budget ranges and for all levels of racing.

There are other members of this forum who are far better qualified to offer racing advice than I am. There is a rough equation in racing:

How fast you go = how much money you spend

This is the lowest priced system Novak offers:

We have many international distributors (http://www.teamnovak.com/disti/dist_intl.htm)---I posted our store link for info only, we do not directly ship this system internationally.

How fast you can go depends on many variables---batteries, vehicle, tires, ability....

As I commented above, I'm not technically qualified to give set-up or racing advice. Going brushless requires quite a bit of research before making a decision.

Novak makes good stuff, thats all I run.
If you're on a tight budget, shoot over to E Bay. I have seen brushless systems with ESC and motor for less than $70 and some offer free shipping. I do not know the quality of these systems, but it is worth a look.
Here's a couple stores:
http://stores.ebay.com/RC-Timer
http://stores.shop.ebay.com/Force-Control__W0QQ_armrsZ1

I have ordered from this one and gotten great results'
http://stores.shop.ebay.com/Dinball__W0QQ_armrsZ1

Please remember, I am in the US so I don't know how these sellers will handle shipping to you.
Hope that helps:thumbsup:

If you are considering "used" items, Novak offers factory re-manufactured GTB/Velocity or GTB/SS Pro combos for @165.00. (http://www.shopatron.com/index/135.0.7521.0.0.0.0) These come with a new 120 day factory warranty---safer than buying stuff on E-Bay.....:thumbsup:

The lower number designates a hotter motor. The 3.5 and 4.5 are powerful, modified motors---too much power for the average racer.

If you choose equipment that is too powerful for your driving experience, you will be as disappointed as you would with not powerful enough electronics.

Which motor you choose should be in line with your experience level, your planned use, your budget and your temperament. Hot set-ups go really fast; unfortunately, you will probably spend most of your time and money repairing damaged equipment.
