Which way would you go?

Thanks

I haven't looked around for any place to find them, so I'm not totally sure. However, there are some really inexpensive motors on Tower Hobbies that would run similarly:

The first one is closest, but the second would also be a good choice (geared appropriately, of course).

I'm using an 18t pinion with stock spur on my CRT.5, on 3s Lipo and 2.2 Truck Step Pin tires (~4"), which gives a top speed of roughly 40mph. IMO, this gearing is perfect for what's on the truck (nothing overheats).

Just got off the phone with a Neu distributor and he had a 1506 1.5y which he stated was the same speed as 1509 1y. I've never seen a 1506 1.5y listed anywhere, but it was a decent price so I'm going to give it a shot. I'll post updates later!

That motor should work decently... Especially for a lightweight setup (although should work just fine in a regular weight).
