Also…use care on 3D printed items… The board vibrates so much it can snap metal …

I personally do not have any experience with 3D printed parts…just stories

Thanks will got for the 6345 245kv sk3 then just got to wait for stock to arrive at hobby king. As for the 3D printing will be mainly prototyping with it and for the pulleys but once I have the right design I will make an aluminium version.

Please refer to this thread to help pick the right ESC…

If you don’t see it here I would suggest to avoid it mate (edit: later on you can discover other non popular ESCs … Look for ones for RC car…pay attention to the voltage ratings)

@evoheyax spent a lot of time to put this thing together for all the noobs

Yea seen the list just wasn’t want to spend to much so will have another look and see what I can stretch to. I have one already from an rc buggy it’s 1/8 but only 4s but I’m wanting to run 2x3s @6s

When I was looking for cheap escs i found the fvt120 from bangood was about as cheap as they came. I run it on 6s and it works ok.

Hello new here and looking for some help and info. I have brought a drop through board to use as my base. I have several rc so already have a controller and esc 80a 1/8 buggy one. But I ordered a belt which has arrived 265t 9mm belt also I ordered a motor but think I have ordered the wrong one as seen people say sk3 so got one but think I have got the wrong kv as its a 2836-2500kv is this completely wrong? Will it even work or should I just send it back and get another one. Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately wrong. You should buy a motor below 300kv and maybe even below 200kv for good torque!
