Default New To Brushless

Hi Guys,
Just got back into racing after 13years out and alot has changed!! running a xx4 with a 19T motor. going to go brushless as this seems to be the way forward and im not that clued up on motor management!!
what is the best system out there at the moment. dont want anything scarily fast. looking at this at the mo. http://www.modelsport.co.uk/?CallFun...n&ItemID=24636
is it any good for me? and if so is this a good price?
thanks for your help.
Mark.

The Nosram / LRP Systems are both prety good.

In My XX4 I've been running the Nosram Matrix Evo and 6.5 turn Motor.

Pay real close attention to the gearing suggestions in the instructions.

I have my 6.5 Turn on a 15T with a purple spur... It's still a little overgeared and could do with the Orange Spur....

5.5 Turn is silly fast. 4wd wheelying and flipping from a standstill...

7.5 Turn is also pretty good and allows a good spread of reasonable gearing without using chainsaw pinions...

Hope this gives you an Idea....

The nosram is exactly the same as the LRP, just choose whether you prefer blue or red!

I can back up what Adam said, the LRP/NOSRAM systems are superb, especially their 2007 spec.

I used a 5.5 at Kiddy for fun and it was ace!

And that you don't need to worry about going faster.

It's now down to driving ability!

might as well wait to buy a product that is brand new instead of one that is in its 3rd generation and a well proven winner

now now lads ! lol
Agreed tho, the Tekin isn't out and so is unproven - can't really be recommended. It does LOOK great though, have to wait and see.

I am just being an arse to prove a point Jimmy.

I don't do it often, but it narks me when people recomend something that is not even out yet and that they have most likely had no experience with

Chris, was just giving my personal opinion. I currently use LRP q2 and it is good, and the LRP brushless is v good (agreed), but i PERSONALLY would wait until the Tekin system comes out. Ask my why, i dont have the money to throw at something which will be superseeded with in 12 months, its ok when you get them for now't.

If and when the Tekin system comes out, and IF (big IF) its better than the LRP then the 4TH generation LRP will/ should be even better still.

(Hope we can agree on that point)

No matter what you are buying, it's always best to wait as long as you can before buying - so you get all the options.

What is out / coming out ?

The LRP / Nosram system
Mamba Max
Novak
GM
Orion / Peak (same as GM ?)
Tekin

Any others worth considering ?

Well i have just bought the LRP Sphere esc and the LRP X11 vector 6.5 Motor. it will be much faster than the 19t im using at the mo.
im sure ill break loads of front arms getting to grips with the speed.
will i be ok with GP3300? dont want to run out of juice!!

OK, fair comment,

but for quite a while I was running first generation sphere (first batch production sphere, not even comp) in a borrowed B4 while I waited to get my own AE stuff and I raced that with some reasonable results and performance.
