Hi. What is your native language?
I assume you want brushless power. Your Triumph should be strong enough to handle anything but I'd be afraid of breaking the transmission belts since they are very rare. So no brushless 8.5s.

I have a Triumph transmission bolted into my Ultima Pro XL and it is BALLISTIC! If you want to start at 17.5t or even 10.5t then i think you'll be on the safe side. Just make certain you get an esc that allows you to program for softer take off and dial down the brakes and you should get plenty of life from this car.

What you mean by 8.5s ? , at HK they have a Brushless Car Power System 3600kv/35A combo (esc and motor), do you think i will be ok with ?RichieRich wrote: I assume you want brushless power.

Re: Vintage Kyosho Triumph want to go Brushless
Hi Christian,
There are 2 ways that brushless motors are rated for power: one is by Kv and the other is by turns, like with brushed motors. 8.5 brushless is equivalent to a very hot brushed motor. I would recommend starting with a 17.5 brushless motor and a sensored speed control. Hope that helps!

I used a mamba max 6900 or such and it kinda worn out the slipper on it.
2nd place is just the 1st loser
