Brushless upgrade
Hey, I have a 1/10 Exceed sunfire and I want to update the RC540 to a brushless for it's efficiency and maintainence. I was shown this motor by the Exceed guys (http://www.nitrorcx.com/ezrun-brushless-combo-set.html), I like the price (not really wanting to spend over $100) but I wonder about it's quality and speed I want around 35-45 MPH tops Plus I need to get it to Saskatchewan. Can you guys show me something with these specs with an ESC included? Also, how do KV's make a difference in the motor?

RE: Brushless upgrade
I will start by explaining what kv is. Kv is the RPMs per volt that is theoretically possible in a perfect scenario. I think u should get your speed out of it with a 3 cell or 4 cell lipo. The speed control is made by the company that helped to design the world class Speed Passion GT ESC. Hobby-Wing's knowledge should make this setup a pretty good option. I am thinking of picking one up myself ever since i saw it on the product spotlight on the frontpage here at RCU.

RE: Brushless upgrade
I would suggest that you get a Mamba Sidewinder instead of that brand. Also shipping will probably be between $10-$20 extra. If you go to b-p-p.com you can get a the Mamba Sidewinder 4600kv or 5700kv system for the same price and free shipping. Trust me, look into it.....
