New Brushless motor for FTX Blaze....
Hi,
I want to order a Losi brushless combo for my FTX Blaze and I would like some help choosing which one..... I want it to be as 'slow' as possible so do I need 9400Kv, 8200Kv, 7400Kv, or 06000Kv? Also what tooth pinion would you recommend? Many thanks in advance!!!! Tim |

the kv rating is the RPM per volt. so the 6000kv would the be slowest

I've gone for the 6000Kv option to start with. If I find I want more speed I can simply upgrade the motor as the speedo will be compatible with them
Can't wait to get running my 1:18 Xray. Just waiting now on a charger... |

Cheers Guys - I will get Russ on the case on Monday!
Does anyone know which pinion to use in the FTX? Scott - I can't wait to see the little Xray go round the track.... Ta, Tim |

I been reading a little on this,11/49 is a good combo to keep everything nice and cool, but to get an 11 i think you will need a 5mm shaft on the motor,if the Losi system is 5mm then cool if not then i think 12 is the smallest. If the blaze is the same as my shark then standard is 13/45 i think.

It depends which one of those motors you end up buying. You'll need to know that before anyone can recommend a pinion. It also matters what shaft diameter the Losi motor has.
Mongoose motors have a 3.2mm shaft and RW Racing make anything from 9t and up. On a 10.5 Mongoose (7300kv) we commonly run 10/49 or 11/49. The stock Blaze spur is only a 45. |

Help please!
I have still not bought a brushless combi for my Blaze!
Can anyone recommend a 6000kv system and the best place to get the correct spur and pinion from? I can afford about £100 so I think it would be a Reedy or Losi combo.... Thanks in advance! |

get an ezrun mate, by far the best bang for buck out there, the 18t motor clocks in @ 5400kv, http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/EzRUN-18T-brus...#ht_4315wt_939
pinions are easily available on ebay, i'd start off with 13 or 14 tooth with the stock 45t spur gear, which was easily fast enough when i was running this system a few months ago. http://www.tracksidespares.co.uk/pro...oducts_id=1308 |

http://www.teamnovak.com/products/br...cro/index.html as of late they've been selling for £62, motor and esc, so that should also fit within your budget |

Hi Rob
Thanks for the info - that is good to know. I have emailed CML in the UK to see if their prices are going to come down to match the prices in the USA. What spur/pinion size would you recommend for the Blaze with that motor/esc (still 49/11T?) Cheers, Tim |

11/49 is fine on a 13.5T on a Mongoose or 10/49 on a 10.5T. I would PM Frogger, he has a new pinion,they mesh a lot better than then Novak one's.

Thanks again.
I am very tempted to order a Novak one even though CML will not match the price in the USA Is this the best place to get the 49T spur from: http://www.actionmodelcentre.co.uk/p...sp?prod=MB-012 Has anyone tried the Mtroniks brushless combo - it is 370 size and seems very good value? Cheers, Tim |

yup, depending on your track (size/layout) and motor choice (13.5/10.5) somewhere in the 9/45T to 11/49T range should be good. as with any BL, just keep an eye on your motor temps |

what would be the "estimated" customs fees for one if you ordered from Tower Hobbies in the U.S??
