Need some help from the local gurus...

OK, I will do my best to answer your questions.

First off the hv110 is about the smallest esc you can go with to have 6-10s usability. It is underrated quite a bit. You will require a pistix, I think offshoreelectrics.com has them. Any air esc will require a pistix...

I will have to guess that the xray truggy with the huddy steel parts will offer the best drivetrain for longevity. I have not owned one, but they are said by many to be the best.

As far as tekno to rcm goes, I have to say that I prefer the rcm parts for many reasons.

All of the tekno stuff uses their clutch adapter, which is not really a good idea. It will require more maintenance, and setup to operate properly. Plus it will wear front motor bearings faster. And I an not that fond of the motor mount design of the tekno.

Going with std hardened pinons and the slipperential from rcm will be your best bet. I also like the rcm motor mounts, simple and they allow chassis flex without disturbing the gear mesh. I think most of the rcm designs are superior to what else is out there... I have used other stuff and feel more confident with the rcm parts, plus they tend to fit better than most everything else I have played with.

Linc...thanks for the clarification. I see you have motors for sale... do you have that neu 1521 1y?

If anyone has the HV110 in mint cond or the 1521 1y shoot me a PM. I'll buy new if you have that too and need to unload stuff.

Linc, I hate to keep comming back with more Qs, but what discharge rating should the lipos be? I have flight and trakpower lipos but I'll need to buy some 5s packs. I only have 3s and 2s.

Brian G.... I thinkkkkk I saw you were selling an HV unit. Is this still available? Pm me if so. I need to figure out if I 100% want to go 10s/ air esc/ and mech brakes but I don't see why I shouldnt other then added weight of 2nd servo and extra complexity.

Lastly, if you guys have other set up suggestions, or ways I can get to my goal easier/better I'd be grateful to hear what you have to say. Please dont mention expense though lol. I joke about my wife but money is no concern here for the right gear and I'll save when I can to a degree when it makes sense. I do like to sell/buy alot in this hobby. I think I have more fun doing that and building then driving :D

Yeah, I still have it. It originally popped one of the input capacitors, but CC fixed that and put brand new wires and heatshrink on it too. Hasn't been hooked up since. Comes with a Castle Link module if needed. And yes, it's still up for grabs. This ESC needs a Pistix adaptor to operate right on a pistol radio. Actually, you can get it to work without it, but far easier with it. Good news is that I have one. Bad news is that Mike (site owner) has it right now.
