Keep the wheels and lipos as light as possible and it works great. Throw on 800g wheels and tires id up it to a bigger motor.

I decided that the money could be spent on a MMM esc and a servo, insted of the 2200 motor. I will just run the 10xl c50 on 6s in the muggy. But thanks for the info...

Nah, the 6x6 lst will have a hacker c50 11xl and a MMM and run 6s lipo. Basically the setup out of my regular lst, geared a bit lower to take some strain off the motor. Thinking 35mph will be plenty for that truck. i will wait for the 1800 or 1500kv cc motors... 2200 on 6s lipo is just too much for my gearing requirements.

I use a 1515 2.5D on 6s in my Muggy, the 1515 seems to power it fine doing 40 - 45 mph. I would snatch it up if it is a good deal. I wouldn't mind a bigger motor for speed runs, of course then battery size may need to be bigger.

EDIT: Didn't see other post.

I'm impressed! 5Ah @ 235C would be 1175A continuous! I bet the voltage wouldn't drop at all at a mere 200A current draw. Of course, if you ran them that high, runtime would be a little over 15 seconds. :wink: :lol:

Where do you find all these deals....???

Flydma - i was all over that too but didn't realize you can remove the gearbox...

There is still the 1506 if anyone has a crt.5 :)

Yeah I did the math and figured the c rating was a bit high, but it is always nice to have some headroom... Plus you can charge them at 50c, so I need to make a deans to 220v ac adpater and just plug in the wall.

I did some research, the gearbox mounts up with screws. I have heard various things about how the pinion is held on (setscrew, and loctite) so we will have to see when I get the motor in. I already sold the gearbox... 70 bucks shipped. (I know, I suck). So I figure a neu 1515 for 80 bucks was not too bad... Almost makes that 235c lipo at 90 bucks seem overpriced.

Yes you suck - Go play with your trannys ;)

PS can you find be some berg axles...

I can try, let me make some calls on those axles...

Can't play with trannys, Shaun has not called me back yet!
