hey what's up everyone i just got my b3 running i was looking to get a sick motor and speed control, any suggestions

[kilrbzz]

There are lots of good companies out there for motors and speed controllers to fit any budget.

Speed controllers- I can speak for Novak as being a quality product (had four and no complaints). Heard good things about LRP. Intellipeak makes some good ESC's for the money.

Modified Motors- I love the Reedy Ti Mods. I think they are the best available. Speed Gem makes a quality motor for the money.
The lower wind you go with the motor the more maintenance you will have.

Stock Motors- Reedy MVP, Orion Core, Green Machine 3, and the p2k2 are good stockers to name a few.

To be more specific we would need more info on how you are using the B3.

Out of curiousity what is everyone else running as far as ESC/Motor Combo?

I run a GT7/along with the first 3 stockers I mentioned depending on track or a Ti Mod 14x2 or 10x2.

On a personal race note I swept the board taking 1st in both Buggy and Truck with my B&T3! Must have been a Blue Moon!!

psurace, I've had a Quantum Competition and a Novak GT7 and the GT7 is much smoother and more adjustable, a big advantage in 2wd mod. Is this for racing or bashing? Do you want reverse?

As kilrbzz said the Ti is a great motor, the Orion Core/Peak Carrera motors are also very smooth but fast motors with huge torque.

:D Good job!

Corally makes wicked handwound mods. Their 13 tripple is good for offroad (here anyways). I don't think they are generally popular, but it seems to be what the fast guys around here run. :)

Yeah, I've seen some wicked fast corallys too. I might get an 8x2 for my touring car and something a little more mild for my buggy;)

I bought a 13x3 for my T3 and B3 when offroad comes around.

Hello all I was wondering How would I go about leveling out my dog bones and is it a good thing to do or does it depend on track conditions??

[LouisB]

It just means setting the ride height so that when viewed from behind the dogbones are parallel with the surface the car is on. Adjust it using preload spacers wiht a race ready car (motor, battery etc) so that they are level, or just below level. It's a good starting point for most tracks.
