i have thought that too but i need to wait til i get the buggy here so i can see what size the cvd's are and such. even it that will work i worry about the teeth on a mod1 spur and pinion setup being strong enough. i mean, they must run mod1.5 on 1/5 cars for a reason, right?

so i did it! i have really taken the plunge now. i picked up a Neu 2215 2y today http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pro...u-2215&cat=117 and also picked up 2 of these on ebay for a steal.

i am kinda committed now to making this project work. i am bummed though cuz i missed my chance at a great deal on a Schulze 32-170 controller on ebay. so the last thing i need to get is the controller still. what is a good esc to get for a 10s/2215 Neu setup? i have looked at the Castle Phoenix 110 HV, the Castle Hydra 240 HV, and now the Schulze 32-170, and of course there is MGM. do they have a controller that will handle 10s? i am wanting to hear from some of the guys that have used these different controllers as to which one is the most reliable and still performs great. maybe i need to go look on the boat racing forums but any info i can get here is appreciated.

Get a ESC that has an LVC and the old Schulze ESCs don't have that feature. I have a Jeti SPIN200 if you're interested, send me a PM for price.

Edit: You're going to keep the mechanical brakes on it?
