Brushless TNX suggestions?

[captain harlock]

I'd recommend a 1950/7 with two Trackpower packs and either a Mamba Max or a Quark to go with the truck. The TNX is as big as a Savage and yet, as light as a feather. With the mentioned setup, you'll be flying.

Thanks for the suggestion...I'd forgotten about the Trakpowers! They'd be ideal. A Lehner 1950 would be really nice too, but I don't think my student finances could stretch to that so do you think a Wanderer 7XL would work well? I know it's a bit on the hot side, but I don't really want to go above 4S as I might use an MM...and I want to try and keep the truck lightweight. Do you think 45mph would be attainable with this setup?:032: Then again, it'll be interesting to see what motors Castle produce with the MMM.

Incidentally, I think I'll probably use the Revo motor mount Mike has in store; it's much easier than making one and should fit the task perfectly.:027:

I think some experienced ppl here are saying an 8XL is just as capable as a 7XL is, just gear up. And it doesn't run as hot, I think I've even heard the 9XL as able as a 7XL. I think 45mph should be farily easily come by, IMO.

I'm thinking a single lipo pack sit behind the tranny width-wise. Maybe grind that engine mount off the chassis.

Who makes the TNX? It kinda looks like Schumacher made to me, with the teeny-weeny turnbuckles on it. :005:
