Esc/ motor combo

Hi

I have been out of electric racing for some 6 years but getting back into it as I have got a Yoko yz2. What I would like to know is what is the most popular Esc motor combo that is used for competitive racing these days. Thanks

A few options. FlowX with x20 6.5 is a common option but so many out there to choose from. Nosram, Hobbywing, Maclan, e.t.c

I've recently returned to racing, and am running a 7.5 turn motor with hobbywing XR10 ESC (also on a yz2) and it's been easily as competitive as the rest of the field. The main limiter to competitiveness has been my own inability to keep the buggy on the track!

Hi

I have recently returned to RC after 10 years out. I’ve gone for An Orion initially R10.1 but have upgraded to the later HMX. Also run an Orion 7.5T. Touch wood...never had issues and power wise feels great.

Thanks. What’s the difference between a 6.5 and 7.5t motor.

The difference is 1

, seriously though the 6.5 will be more aggressive and faster, if you're just returning back to racing would suggest starting with a 10.5t and go from there.
