@TheKillerbanshee The brushless motor is a DC (direct current) motor that has a permanent magnet in the rotor or shaft. The brushless motor has sensors that determine the direction and how fast the magnet turns to produce voltage. In short, you go really fast.
One thing I should have mentioned, in retrospect. A 3s battery providing the 25 amps required for this speed control is huge on this chassis, so take it easy on the jumps and keep it in one piece!
what do you think is the best kv motors for these trucks? im beefin mine up a lil bit and i want it really fast like at least 50 but still have a little bit of controllability. DO you think an 8200kv motor and 3s would be overkill? thanks
@stanleytherat If you want to go really fast and replace trans gears all the time, yes a 3s works. But it is an impractical setup since there are virtually no classes for high voltage mini races and you buy gears on the regular. That being said, there is very little difference in the torque of a higher or lower kv motor at that voltage, so if you think the motor won't grenade under the RPM's then try it and write back! Definitely look for a sintered rotor rather than a bonded one.
@stanleytherat The bonded rotor is actually a pair of magnets glued to the shaft, where the sintered rotor is built around the shaft in one piece. Get a thermometer and keep a close eye on the temp, gear it correctly and it'll work. But if you want a fun truck that gets big air and is still reasonably maintainable with good torque and top end, I suggest 2s with 6500-7500 kv.
@Xmoto16 so sorry for the late reply, typically the heavier the truck the stiffer you want it, and higher spring tension may cause the truck to bounce or "buck" landings, so you run thicker shock oil to compensate. You have the right idea if you are running a heavy setup (lots of metal parts, big batteries) or you're getting serious air (brushless air). If that's not the case, you can get it to corner better with lighter spring/oil combos.
@Xmoto16 I like to run the front springs heavier than the rear, this makes steering tighter on the brakes and lets the rear drift a little. of course, it depends on the track and truck conditions. For an easy track/light setup, I run light rear medium front springs 20-30wt rear 30-40 ft. Medium track or weight = medium or heavy ft, light or med rear, i still stick below 40wt all around. Hard track or all out bashing = heavy all around or medium rear with 40-50wt. Play around with it, have fun!

They are RPM bully rims, not modified just glued tires to them.
