Hey guys,
I have a 2wd slash bl2s with 2.8 badlands and longer rpm a arms. I want to eventually buy a new motor and esc.
The normal thing to do would be upgrading to 3s but I'm thinking about 4s. I know some will discouraged me from going 4s and its fine. Monster slash is also a controversial build.
Thoses are the reasons why i might go 4s : Motors and esc are expensive and i dont want to go 3s and then want 4s. My gearing is 14/90 for now, stock was 21/83. I can go higher but i like the torque and acceleration and the motor dosent get hot so I'm in a safe zone and dont need to always worry about the temp. If it was the stock slash i would go 3s but i might want 4s for speed since I'm geared down alot. The other reason for the 4s is to be a bit overkill so i never need to go full throttle. Or maybe run it on 3s with 4s capable motor. My theory is that it would be easier on the motor and esc. Its fun to know that you can go faster but dont do it exepct a few times.
For information I'm bashing. I feel like there is race tracks everywhere in the usa but not so much in Québec. Anyway my slash is not stock at all right now.
When i say I'm bashing, I'm not doing what we see alot on youtube. I ride offroad on gravel, dirt etc. Maybe a 3-4 feet drops here and there and pump tracks but I'm careful.
Traxxas is a no for me. My lhs recommended a spektrum. I guess its the 85a firma i dont remember. I like my lhs so i always prefer to buy there but jennyrc is so cheap I'm considering it if i buy a spektrum. The other options would be castle or hobbywing.
What combo would you recommend for 3s and 4s ? Of course i try to think about money and want the best for my bucks, not the best overall but I'm open.
I prefer torque and acceleration over speed and dont understand kv quite well. How do i know a motor is 3s or 4s capable ? Is it better sensored or sensorless ? I dont understand the a rating either.
Maybe it will be a good idea if i directly contact those brands too ?
Thanks alot !
