Yo dude, I just saw this.

I'm running a Lehner Basic XL 4200 w/ 2s on my crt.5 and 16/46 gearing.

If you go with a feigao/nemesis motor, look for a 540L with a Kv rating of 4000 or higher. I think that's a 6L. Lehner's are great but hard to find and three times the price.

well i received the crt .5 today, pretty cool truck , any way i decided to try the novak motor, a little cogging ocasionally when off and back on throttle and sometimes when trying to go from a dead stop(very little) and i was geared 15/46(stock spur) and there was no heat at all after 10 hard minutes, so i am going up to a 16 tooth pinion and maybe more, but if i go to a 3s lipo will it get hot or just go faster ?? right now 20-25mph

anyway here it is thrown together quick for a test run and also pictured is the shop supervisor

this will get cleaned up and wires will be much shorter, i just had to drill one hole in the plexi for now and i can easily take it out and put it in the revo(the esc.)

oh and can i just cut the sensor wires?

will novak still take it back?

LOL... looks like you've got a 2nd generation r/c'er.

Nice truck so far.

Nice truck! The shop super seems to have you hard at work on it too!

thanks guys, and i think she will get a micro-t for x-mas, i put in a 18 tooth pinion and will try today and see if it gets warm, i also need to adjust settings on the mm, i havent changed them and they are all pretty low,

any ideas on timing, punch, and start power?

thanks for any help, oh and i am running 2s for now

temps were still great @ 18/46

anyone have a suggestion on how to get rid of the cogging i get when i start(only when i go full throttle)

i tried to adjust different things and didnt seem to help much

seems to be faster now though, it will wheelie and such, probably about 27-30 id guess, goes good though the front tires balloon like crazy

i think a 3s pack would be perfect

well i still would like to run 2s, how does this look?? there is 2 different versions , a 11 turn and a 9 turn.. what do you think of one of these??

how about a 540 6s feigao???????????????????????????????

Would one of the NOVAK touring car systems work in these ?.

Does anyone run one of the Quark motors? Visually speaking, they don't look like much, but that doesn't really mean anything.

sorry for all the posts , but i finally have some $ and am at a loss on which way to go with this truck, i really want to stick with 2s but am also thinking about the mm 4600 and 3s ????

Your best bet would be to run 3s and an L size motor with a kv of around 3000. The MM motors are too small IMO. An S motor would be better than a MM motor, but an L motor would be better. Unfortunately, Mike only has the 9L and that is out of stock. You could try to contact him for an equivalent motor choice. But, you defintely want an L size around 3000 kv on 3s.

thanks,

so ill get a 3s pack, 5k ?
a mm esc.

would a 9L be a good choice on 3s?
