POWER FOR LESRO ARROW - and DRIVERS

(1/2) > >>

Rouget:
Just back to building after 30 year lay-off and things have changed a bit! Am building a wooden Lesro Arrow with my son and have got to the motor stage. I am told a 600 motor on 7.2v would be ideal and i can get one for a reasonable price. The ESC is what is confusing me. My local shop says 40A at a cost of about £50 which suddenly doubles the cost of the project. What could I get away with and what should I expect to pay? What is the difference between brushed and brushless and can a brushless ESC run a brushed motor?Have looked at ebay and seen items which have been discussed on this forum mostly coming from Hong Kong or China - would they be good enough?
Also I am looking for a couple of drivers at about 1:18th scale - any ideas or suppliers would be appreciated.

Cheers
Jimbob

If you can use a 540 motor, then a £16.99 Tamiya TEU-101BK from http://www.goldstarstockists.com/ (Time Tunnel Models in Stevenage) will do it just fine.

As for people, have a look round the model shops online, someones bound to have them.

How long is the Lesro Arrow?
540 / Speed600 sound a bit on the small size...

Try a Zen 26. that will make it move around.
