Brushless conversion Inferno GT2, what motor and ESC?

Hello everyone!

I did noticed that here was already a few threads where people asked helped for their Inferno GT conversion. The goals of the conversion were different or thread didn't answer to all of my questions so I decided to start a new one.

I have a Inferno GT2 Corvette using a GRP .21 sport tuned engine. I'm getting tired of working with nitro engines, even though it has been a great and easy engine. Also i'm getting tired of purchasing part number IG110B every week, so I want to go for a centre differential.

I have been racing with a few guys on a parking lot and then there has been a bit of speed runs. As the GT seems to require a long straight to get really going, I haven't been able to get a real top speed reading. On a 400ft straight my top speed has been 52 mph.

So I would need help from you to know which brushless motor and ESC I should put into my car?

I'm looking for a top speed of 50-60mph, I would still need to have a reliable setup for racing against other cars. Batteries won't be a problem, anything from 4s to 6s, will be ok. I would probably use a Inferno buggy centre diff, so spur would be 48T (part number IS013). By meaning reliable setup for racing I mean that there won't be a possibility to jump around the track with temp gun. I would be mostly racing against nitro so 10 minutes runtime would be ok.

There won't be anything specific budget for this conversion, but off course cheaper will be nice. I wouldn't want to go over 450 usd for a motor and ESC but we will see do I have to.

Thanks already for a reply
