What's_Nitro: Yes, that's an Etek motor and you betcha I'm using all 15hp it's capable of! My pocket dirt bike is based off of a 70cc frame and I can do 45mph on any surface, including up hills. It's almost scary because if you twist a hand-full of throttle from a standstill the front wheel starts to raise up.. with your feet already on the pegs!

Betting those are hella pricey?

Honestly, not really considering two factors:

a) what you get for the money
b) the general cost of hi-end RC equivalent stuff. My Neu 1515 2.5d costs 2/3 as much as this beast did!

Most people come buy Neu motors because they want the best performance available for their RC vehicles and are willing to pay the price for what they get in return. Likewise, the Etek motor is considered THE motor to have for pocket bike enthusiasts. I've already thought of trying to do a twin-motor deal in something like a four-wheeler...

Whoa! So I can guess it's around $400?

Yep $425 new- http://www.teamdelta.com/products/prod5c.htm

The controller was in "MGM" territory as well..

if your going with a brushed motor you can use these controllers. http://www.robotcombat.com/products/...ntrollers.html

I have the thor, it's a good controller. I used it because I needed proportional brakes. But if your using mech brakes you don't need a "spin" controller.

I think I have my mind set on the Rc Hydros Victory 10-32 ESC. Only $98.

Ive still got to get ahold of deisel aka "BL_RV0" to see if he has shipped the motor out yet. Ill let you guys know...

Just found this 60v 60a ESC- http://www.astroflight.com/index.php...products_id=91


If I could get two of those and run them in parallel on 36v or possibly 48v possibilities would be endless.

The thig is I dont know if my motor will pull 60a cont... Im doubting it but its the heat im worried about. Maybe a few fans will do the job.

Looks killer dude! Can't wait to see this thing shred!

Thanks PB. I cant wait for the I-Hobby expo this year. Its going to be amazing with all the new products that are coming out.

Hey guys good news. Decided to keep the 1/5 because I'd regret getting rid of it for sure. The motor hopefully will be sent out today by the looks of it. Ill let you guys know...
