Couger SV2 Power

[andyw]

Have just bought one of these second hand as a roller, what motor and esc , batt package is recomended. Getting back into cars after a 7 year break, things have changed so much, it used to be 27t brushed with 7.2v nicad. I dont mind going down that route, not looking fo loads of power yet, need to get back in control!!!! But what is best, I have 3s lipo's from flying, but don't think these are suitable.

Speed passion speedos and motor are good, a 7.5 turn motor, Orion Carbon 5500 saddle pack batteries.

make sure you gat at least a 120 amp speedo 2 to 3 S not a 1 to 2 S those are what I use others may say different

Only type to avoid are the LRP flow speedo, it was far to much for off road.

Why avoid the Lrp flow???

I and others found the LRP Flow a handful on our Astro track, we could not set it up to give a smooth power curve.
And if Andy is just starting again he might find it a bit tricky, there was no criticism meant

I started out with a flow an 7.5x20 an well happy with it

Dualsky are good value and as smooth or powerfull as you want

[andyw]

What about brushed system, or would this be a waste in this car?

[mark christopher]

a budget brushless would be better and last longer and no brushes or wear, just get sensored system over sensor
less

Lrp Flow ive been using for a good while with no issues, it is very tuneable and delivers a smooth power band - especially when paired with x20 lrp motors.

Ive also been using LRP shorties - very powerful and durable.

Plenty to go on here, thanks for the replies, I know a bit more now than I did a couple of days go, the difference between sensored and sensorless seems important. Time to go shopping.
