ok. but the problem is, on how to charge/balance them... im not sure wether id be able to charge them with the charger i was looking at.... i need some reasonably (5A+)high powered (240v powered would be extraordinary) charger with balancer to suit 7S a123

the only other option is going with 4S2P, with any more, i think it will be too damn heavy!

the equivilant lipos are so much lighter dammit!!!... the advantage being with 6S, i can make 3 2s1p to use in my touring car. i guess i could make 1x 3s and 2x 2s...

im clearly in need of help, and cannot afford to buy any more items, once i make my decision (motor OR batteries).

how does everyone think the monster combo will compare with the hand made neu's? im thinking, they will only be popular if they are highly effcient or very cheap (like feigaos)

any suggestions?

I reckon theyll be tops. As for a charger, I got a Hyperion duo for exactly that purpose. My 6s2p will be two separate 6s1p packs, each one of them two 3s1p packs in an L shape. Then I can run the 3s packs in my crt.5 and my rustler, and put em all together for a 6s2p. The original plan was a 4s for the crt.5 and a 3s for rusty to make 7s1p.

The hyperion duo has 2x 180W 6s chargers in it, which can run together ('sync' mode)as a 360W 12s charger. Even in solo mode you can choose the power distribution between the chargers which is kind of cool. It has built in LBA10 balancers for each channel, with a full readout of the individual cell voltages during charging. Only thing I don't really like about it is the lack of discharge function. I don't really use any nickel batteries, but being able to discharge is often good to test your batteries balance and capacity.

I kind of imagined you using a Dirty Harry voice on that one, made me laugh harder. :lol:

You should of just added "punk" at the end, so I kind of did for you.

No, I just meant any truck they are put on. Actually, I always thought the stock savage shocks were one of its down points, however, putting those shocks on there totally changed that scenario.

You obviously weren't a fan of the stock shocks either, huh? :yipi:

I'm gonna wait for an HV version.

That could be a while :lol:

Hopefully there will not be a need for one if the MMM can support 60 mph all day long in any 8th conversion.

I would like to get to 60mph with 75A instead of 150A. I like to stay cool and efficient :smile:. Stuff lasts longer that way.

My plan is in my t-maxx conversion w/ 4s Neu 1512

bruce750i 05.01.2008 09:43 AM

6S MMM Micro RS4:lol:

VintageMA 05.01.2008 04:56 PM

2 projects in mind:

Lighten my XB8EC with 6S and a 1512/3.5d (1500kv) an a TP2600 6S pack - going to try and get longer runtime through high efficiency and low buggy weight - hoping to get below 8lbs with this setup.

E-Revo when it comes out 6S 3900xp Neu with a 1515 motor - jeeze how many of these are we going to see - this'll be the weekend project of the summer.

rcmonkey 05.01.2008 05:10 PM

In my Xray XB8 TQ with 6S1P A123, don't know what motor yet, possibly an outrunner.

tc3_racer_001 05.03.2008 04:50 PM

if i can get one... hyper 8.5 PRO i got yesterday... still undecided on the motor, batteries (will 6s1p have enough amp draw capability to handle high powered neu motors. more than 8 cells is outa the question (total) so im thinking 4s2p.. i just want something reliable, not something balistic!

Just pick a motor to run at a reasonable speed with 6S. It'll be more efficient and run cooler. You can still keep the speed under control. If you pick a motor with a similar RPM to a nitro, you can run the same kind of pinions and keep the speed the same.

Besides, 6S1P fits so nice in a buggy. :)

DickyT 05.04.2008 04:14 PM

Going in a Revo with Neu 1515 1y and 5s.

Buzzsaw46 05.06.2008 03:37 PM

Mines going in a 3905 E 6s A123/Neu 1512/2.5d, gearing for mid 40's.

tc3_racer_001 05.06.2008 05:16 PM

ok, but seriously, will 6s provide the amps required for these powerful motors? and what motor would you suggest? ive got an rc monster heatsink, so smooth can may be better?
thanks,
ryan

I may have to pick up another one to replace the quark125b in my hyper8. That will also allow me to remove the ccbec and some extra wiring. Trying to lighten the buggy as much as possible.

JThiessen 05.06.2008 05:34 PM

I'm going to be the odd man out here:
Revo, Fiego 10L, and 12 cells of pure NiCd 3300maH lightening!!!!:lol:

6s running an Align 600XL hybrid outrunner.

nl12 05.06.2008 05:40 PM

I would like to buy a MMM but I dont have a truck to put it in, I would run 6s 30c neu lipos, if I can find a truck I like then I will buy one. I wish there was an Xray 808 truggy........

mabu 05.07.2008 03:40 AM

I gonna replace my damaged Monster Pro in my Revo ... hope to get the MMM asap :whip:

SpEEdyBL 05.07.2008 07:12 PM

Anyone going to try the Novak HV motors on the MMM? If they don't cog, they will be far superior to the feigao motors imo. Judging by the temps, I get about 1/4 the heat with the HV 4.5 than I did with an 8xl, and you only need to use 1/2 the pinion size with the novak to match the top speed of the 8xl. I use 9-12 tooth pinions with mine.
