Dirt-540 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Looking for recommendations on a brushless motor and esc for my Tamiya Boomerang. It will be used for racing so want something reliable. Am not much cop at soldering so ideally want something thats plug and play. Bear in mind the buggy will be getting quite modified over time, plus Ive driven plenty of powerful set ups that out do the chassis in terms of class and I haven't had any failures due to my careful input.

Ninetiesbeard Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 A hobbywing sensored system would be great for racing i think. Failing that, or if you wanted to you could grab a castle sensored system. A bit of research is required as to which turn system to get, but once you know that you can purchase accordingly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres cheap goolrc combo for like 45 or hobbywing combo for 80. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id probably go hobbywing just for the trust factor, and 10.5 sounds like plenty for the little boomerang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But are you after endurance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But are you after endurance? I wouldnt know if i need sensored or not. As for endurance, I think the races are a balance between time and most laps.

I was always under the impression that sensored is mainly for racing and sensorless for bashing. Im sure you can use either for either but sensored has a smoother more linear power delivery IIRC.
