FTX Blaze brushless combo and hop ups advice

[eamo1978]

Right then i have an ftx blaze on its way (quite excited) not hopping it up straight away but wondering if this motor would be ok in it?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220727998965&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

and if so which hobbyking esc and lipos would suit it? would 2s be plenty enough? and would the cars drivetrain etc take it or are there any neccessary hop ups to make it better?

traxxas motor will not fit, to long and the shaft will need grinding down, go for the ezrun 25a and a 10.5 motor , rapid but also drivable.

380 sized motor best suited as copes with size an weight of buggy, won't overheat like 20mm motors do, if racing just about get away with 20mm, mine has mamba cm26 motor now

max length of motor 46mm can use, if longer have too use micro servo

u'll need 380 sized pinions

essential hop ups: but their out of stock

alloy diff out cups

alloy shock stand offs

alloy shafts when go brushless
