What are some of your favorite smooth motors for indoor? I noticed that excessive power on hand was getting me nowhere fast, but with a 2.5 engine revo I was going faster around the track than my buggy probably.

mine

Yep. Adjust your shift point when you get the chance, that was way off.

Back on topic.

This motor would be for a buggy with a beginner/intermediate driver.

I was thinking B3, S3?

ninja 21

B7 or S5

Os .30

For the most part, its called throttle control.
I got a big dose of it Sunday my first time driving buggy, and with my V-spec no less!
Man, it had sooo much power in the SP2 compared to the ST-R, I had to learn real quick how to be smooth on the throttle!
I was really happy with it though, once I got the hang of it....so its going to stay in the SP2 now and Im getting a EB modded version for the ST-R

But for a beginner, I wouldnt recommend a V-spec, even though I like it and think its smooth, it just has so much power.

Dude I hear 10 Gallon RB motors are sick.... This one guy I saw run his up and down the street and hit a ramp and land in his neighbors grass... The cool thing was the neighbors don't like it, but the engine was so smooooooth that the neighbor never even saw it.... I would look for one of those, especially if you can find one with some sand in it and a worn rod.

LOL!

RB modded Picco 28 with traxxas stock maxx pipe is da bomb.... boyeeee

Boyee!!!

Love that, I read it like the old B96 Julian Jumpn Perez ads... LOL

s3 or s7

basically matt u can make any engine smooth with clutch setups and most importantly throttle Exponential, turn down the exponetial till the motor is smooth enough for you to deal with. I see alotta guys completely over look the features they pay hundreds for with the high end radios, too much steering turn the expo down a little and problem solved etc

Smooth? I don't think it counts as smooth, More like instant tire shredding torque in a buggy. In mine nearly all of the throttle is found in the first half of the trigger, the last half doesn't get as much response but it does have top speed.

OS 30vg, w/JP3 pipe in a Jammin FTE buggy. I have a 15t clutch bell and am actually considering trying a 16 or to tone it down a bit and get more topend.
