Few questions about Motors, Esc’s, HDPE

[Maxamuslead]

most people run 5060s on 6s as it is cheaper than spending money on higher end ESCs and is simpler then VESCs. Also, it has the added benefit of a lower KV and being physically larger and able to take more heat. this is ignoring the fact you need to Flash the Redbrick 200a (the ESC most people use for 50XX drive in FW) which isn't hard but I wouldn't like to do it as a first build. TBH I would work with Brushed motors for your first bots. 775s motors are powerful and on the correct ratio work great and maybe people still use them, IIRC Explosion uses 775 and Shrapnel the vert runs 550s. Do not overvolt 775 to 6s 22.2v they do not like and become all smoky
