rustyj · **Rustler VXL motor/esc questions -** 06.16.2008, 04:23 PM

Well, I just killed my VXL esc, time to send it back to Traxxas.

In the mean time, I have a choice of putting in a novak GTB esc (in my parts box), and either a novak 4.5R or a novak 13.5 motor. Which would be the best choice? It will be powered by a 2s lipo. Is the 13.5 enough motor? If I go with the 4.5R, is the Rustler too heavy for the motor? I could also go with a Novak HV 4.5, but on 2S I think it will be a dog.

Thanks in advance.

Note: Once I get the 2 mounting holes drilled in my G3 x-brace, so I can mount the V1 slipperential on the G3 chassis, the Rustler will go back to being a backup truck.
