i just about have it finished now. i ran into a snag. i can't get the esc to respond at all. once thats going, i'll hook up the break servo, and clean up the wireing. i'll run it in that form until i go to 12s a123's, and order some foam tires.

if anybody has some suggestions to get the esc to respond go ahead and chime in. i've done about all i can think of. i have a program card coming in the mail, but i don't know if that will help since i get no responce from it now.

alright, my motor is dead. brand new, it worked when i first got it, but now it doesn't. i turned the shaft down to fit my pinions, so warrenty is out. i guess it'll be used for parts. anyway, i need a new motor and i want something fast. here is something local to me. tell me if its any good.

Yes. Really good. I wish I had installed mine a long time ago.

yeah, i found your post w/vid of it. you claim its stronger than a feigao xl can motor even though its so much shorter? thats pretty impressive, especially at this price point. if its impressive enough, i'll replace my kb45xl in my emaxx with the 22/45 or 22/50. another plus is that i get to buy them at the lhs. i really hate the fact that most my stuff has to come from online and i can't put enough into these local shops.

I posted a graph in a thread called Schulze. My truck was flying with this little motor and it pulled around 75A spikes. The 22/50 looks to be a gem of a motor. I might buy it as well. They can make a 22/50/1 and the Kv will be at around 2400-2500.

i got the 22/45/2. he gave me a deal on it. i also told him i may get him to order the 22/50 if i like this one. i'll post some picks when i get it mounted.

Coolbeans man. You are going all out on this one. Hamdrl will not be same anymore.

this pic is of the living beast after her first run. everything seems to be working, except i didn't hear it shift gears. the roads are wet right now so i couldn't get it going very fast, and i didn't run it long as you can see in the pic it was getting a little wet in the car. i thinks its going to be pretty quick once everythings all set and 2nd gear pops in.

btw, my kb motor does work. it was bad plugs on it. i started putting it together with that motor, but my mount was too far back and the pinion was barely on the shaft. i didn't trust it so i made a new mount this morning for this motor. it should be a higher quality motor anyways.

i just looked at that graph. that things putting out about 2.2 hp if im reading correctly. 75a @22v= 1650w = 2.2hp
amazing out of a 540s sized motor:yes:

I'm loving it man. Everything runs cool. How long did you run yours for and what was your temps?

Awesome man. You are making me want to built one as well.

Car is looking nice bro.. I like the paint job.. sounds like a nice project.

i ran it for maybe 4-5min. alot was full throtle/break. i was looking for 2nd gear to hit, and also the roads were wet so tire spin was constant. the esc was 85f and the motor was 103f.

got some run time today. brought it out to the rc drag races. tires suck, so some foams are in order, and i'm still not getting 2nd gear. they told me i hit 51mph on my first pass. after that i was hitting 46-45mph each pass which is right where its geared in 1st gear on this voltage(26v). the size and flashy paint turned lots of heads. i'm really liking the car and motor. at the track, esc got to 105 and motor was 115 i think. after i got back home, i beat on it a little. full speed pass after pass back in forth infront of the house and lots of drifting manuvers. after about 10mins of constant bashing i checked temps. esc was 114 on the heatsink 119 on the caps and motor was 160. i really need to get that 2nd gear working. it should get the motor happy. i think im over winding it being stuck in 1st.

tom255, i see what you're saying about the esc. i have no issues with it though. it does take off a little on the soft side, but putting out this much power i would have to feather the throtle anyways. in a heavy truck that im trying to get wheelies or flips from a stand still, i could see the issues, but for this car its great.
