As with many of us, I've dusted off my RCs and built the ones that have been sat around for ages, and then bought a couple more, then started hunting for 'bargains', then started looking at 'hop-ups', I'm sure I'm not alone in this type of behaviour!

Anyway, I bought this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01MR0PWKK/ref=cm_sw_r... (along with a transmitter, battery and charger) for the princely sum of £50 from eBay. Huzzah! Off to my ball raced TT-02B chassis I go... After asking for a bit of advice elsewhere, I was told that it wasn't a suitable motor and ESC combo for the TT-02B and that it certainly wasn't suitable for the brushed Arrma Typhon Mega that I have either.

So, I've looked up a little bit about brushless (yes, I should have done it beforehand...) and I understand that the higher the RPM the lighter the chassis should be, I'm sure it's far more complex than that though.

So I have two questions:
1) Should I put it in my TT-02B or not? I don't mind adding a few more key parts, but if it doesn't suit it, then I'd rather go with something else.
2) If I do go with something else, what should I look for? I'd like to build it or buy a rolling chassis as I don't want to waste money on parts I don't really need. I don't have a budget at the moment but would like to keep it sub £250 if that's possible.

That will be fine in anything 1/10. Car truck or buggy.
Normally people buy the motor to fit the RC.
Just treat it as a 45A system. Not the biggest in the world but as it says, it will power a 1/10 vehicle.
Just try it in something but I wouldn't waste loads of money hopping it up. Those GoolRC can be a bit hit and miss because they are so cheap.
I'd try it in your TT-02 first, would be just right for that.
Dont go chasing specs and speed as there is always something bigger faster and more expensive than what you buy.

Ta, you've saved me some money!

Would you stick with the standard gearing? Not in the quest for speed, but in the quest for having it last more than two batteries!

Just try it and go easy and monitor temps.
Or find someone with roughly the same setup and see what they use.
Its only a light buggy so it can put that much strain on it.

Thanks, just sticking it in and seeing how I get on. If it does strip the gears then it'll get upgraded, happy to upgrade as I break / fancy new things.
