I just went through a nightmare of a time over that part. Motor shaft snapped inside of mine and it took me weeks to get a replacement. Cardinal racing is supposed to restock like everything any day now but I ended up ordering the rovan equivalent motor output shaft from aliexpress.Nope. No plan of that.
I’m going to Use the x-snap gears though. Just space them accordingly to use 25/60. Can’t get this part any where!
But it’ll work fine with the x-snap gears. Just wasn’t my first option.
how many horse power?
What’s the formula?how many horse power?

The only difference between the parts is mcd uses 2 grub screws and the rovan part is only 1. Hope it helps bro!
Wait! I typed all of this and then I remembered I now have like 4 of these output motor shafts because I ordered 4 from aliexpress as spares and the shipping was taking so long so I ordered a rovan electric conversion kit that came with the part and it got here FAST.
I can help you out and send you one if you pay for shipping. Let me know! I mention this because I actually asked Maher from cardinal racing if the x snap version would work for me and he basically told me no.
You didn't ask me but as someone who only has electric rigs I'd like to think I'm qualified to answer haha. It really depends on if you want 12s or 8s or something that can do both. Assuming you want 12s capability.Watching this build I want atleast 1 E car
What is the initial cost of your setup motor , battery and electronics?
Ya I already have 2 Lipo chargers since I had a E rig in the past a yeti xl on 6s but even then I was still a noob on the lipo Electric stuff. Even though I didn't like the E cars the 1st rime around going ro give it a second chance may be more fun in a 1/5 on road. Thanks for the breakdown, if I have more question I will ask you separately don't want to mess up Clubins thread.You didn't ask me but as someone who only has electric rigs I'd like to think I'm qualified to answer haha.

For 12s you have 2 consumer friendly options, the Hobbywing Max 5 G2 and the Max 4. Clubbin has the Max 4 combo in his MCD. Max 4 is the more expensive stronger of the two 12s Esc and the motor it's combo'd with is huge but also low kv which basically equates to lower rpm but tons of torque.
Max 4 combo that clubbin is rocking will run you about 739$ though you can probably get it cheaper on hobbywing website with a coupon.
The Max 5 G2 combo is the other 12s capable option and it's cheaper and not as powerful as the big brother max 4 combo but it's also lighter. You can get the max 5 g2 combo'd with an 800kv, or 650 kv motor for 12s. The max 5 g2 combo will run you about 390$ and again probably lower at hobbywing website with coupon.
Both those options are not bad and definitely the easiest way to go as there isn't much thinking involved and everything works when you buy a combo with the added benefit of less soldering.
There are also other options though if you want to not do the cookie cutter combo route. You can buy either a Max 5 g2 esc or a Max 4 esc separately and buy a motor from a different company. This is what I've done with my 2 mcd's and rovan f5. Also my DBXL E 2.0.
My MCD XR5 has the Hobbywing Max 4 esc same as clubbins MCD but for the motor I went TP Power instead of doing a hobbywing combo. TP Power makes better motors than hobbywing but size for size they're more expensive for sure.
My setup for example was 440$ for the Hobbywing Max 4 esc and 300$ for my TP 5870 750kv motor. 2x Big boy lipo battery are going to cost you about 200-230$. If you like to run for long periods of time I would suggest doubling that lipo cost so you can get 2 pairs of lipo. A nice lipo charger will also run you about 150$
Hey, no Problem. I like the info too.Ya I already have 2 Lipo chargers since I had a E rig in the past a yeti xl on 6s but even then I was still a noob on the lipo Electric stuff.
