Team Orion Elite Mod

So, I finally got my RS4, what motor size is the Team Orion Elite Mod and what do you guys think of it? Does it work with the Novak Spy ESC?

Its a 180 motor and its faster then the stock motor. And yes the esc will handle it.

So i guess no good compare to the Big Block? What's a good motor upgrade (and cheap)? And most likely I'll need to change the ESC too ?

A good upgrade is to get a 300 size motor and 6cells......this setup will get you up too speed.....but of course you will need to find a 300 size motor mount. What setup are you running with that motor now, etc 5 or 6 cells, whats the pinion tooth thats on the motor now.

I'm planning to run 6 cells... pinion not sure yet, having pull the pinion off yet but it looks like I have choices of 10-13T in the box of parts I got.

Mainly trying to rebuild and redo all the stuff the previous owner did. Not too fond with them gluing the batteries onto the chassis....

But I do have a new in package 300 motor mount.... so I would need to find a 300 motor? Would that work with the Spy?

I know a lot of members that used the spy would burn it up when using a 300 size motor, but for me i have burned one up and bought another and it worked fine with that setup. The newer version will handle 300 size motors with no problems at all.
