My next setup

[nl12]

I am itching for another brushless truck, I will go with the 09 XT8 or 8T 2.0 but that is beside the point, I am trying to decide what brushless system to put in it. I will use Flightpower Eon 33c 4500 MAH lipos, these are my options:

6s, MMM, and Neu 1515 2.5d
6s, Tekin RX8, Tekin 1700KV truggy motor
5s, MMM, Plettenburg BigMaxximum
6s, MMM, and Neu 1521 1y

I am trying to pick one, I need to balance power, reliability, and cool factor, in my opinion you can never have too much of those 3 things.

What do you guys think?

That is a tough choice....I personally would stick w/options: 1 or 2


I will be trying the RX8 as soon as it comes out.

All of the choices have a cool factor to them, but IMO, the RX8 is king...saying that not know how it performs, but from the few reviews here, it hopefully will be stellar

option 1 is a tried and true proven setup that works EXCELLENT you cant go wrong with.

plus the MMM and Neu both have 10x the warranty the tekin setup does, thatd be the selling point for me, i know tekin has great customer service but its a 30 day warranty and castle customer service pretty much is the gold standard these days, going beyond whats expected of them most of the time. the same with Neu they stand behind their motors %100 that why they cost more than the others.

I agree with everyoe so far. I just built a RC8T with Mike's kit. Tried a 1600kv Medusa/MMM on 5s. It was cool but the motor ran a bit warmer than I would have liked. Charging back up and I'll be trying my Tekno Neu 1515 2.5D, I already switched them out, just waiting for the battery to charge.

Of course when it was warm the entire run was in the grass, I just needed an excuse to put the Neu in there!

Option 1 is the only one of those setups I have tried, but it is a very nice setup.

I'd try number 2 just to see what the Tekin setup is like. I don't know who will come out on top between them and Castle when it comes to 1/8th controllers

Option gets my vote with maybe even a 3d...
