So I've bought (or at least pre-ordered) an XV01. Quite excited. Only hope I'll be able to build it before the frosty weather goes.
Anyway, plan is to initially use the included motor with a 1080 ESC on 2S. I have no doubt though that I'll want to go faster later on.
Options would be:
Faster brushed motor: As far as I previously understood from my crawlers, brushed motors basically get faster the lower the number of Turns. Caveate being 5 slot where, for example, a ~15T 5 slot is equivalent to a ~30T 3 slot. Thing is that I don't know the number of turns on the standard motor. I've also read that the Tamiya super stock 23T is faster. I was thinking of using my old 12T motor from a 1/10th buggy. Is that going to be faster than the super stock? Any guidance gratefully received.
Sensorless Brushless: I have a spare Max10 ESC so could use that but I don't see many people running sensorless in the XV01. Am I right there? If sensorless would even work, does anyone know if the Hobbywing motor (3652 for example) would fit? I'm guessing 3000kv would be about right.
Sensored Brushless: Getting fancy here, no idea if it's needed or where to start looking.
Inclination is to keep it simple and run a nice brushed system to get low speed control and torque but maybe I'll find that gets to feel a bit too slow once I get used to the car.
Sorry for noob questions.
