I like that "electric $0.00 per gallon", that's great.

padailey 06.20.2007 10:38 AM

Thanks.... I had to have a little fun with it!

Got a question on my motor.... It came in a Feigao box with a Feigao sticker on it but it's blue... I thought the Nemesis were blue? Just trying to get more educated!!

BrianG 06.20.2007 12:50 PM

The Wanderers are blue too. Maybe they changed the color?

padailey 06.20.2007 12:55 PM

Maybe they did and are using up the old stock of boxes!?! lol The picture on the box is purple with three different colored wires.... the actual motor is blue with all blue wires. Hmmmmm.........

I had the exact same thing... 3 blue wires, and a blue can. But I don't mind because it works awesome!!:027:

Re~Mix 06.20.2007 05:17 PM

The nemesis series motors are also feigao, simply a different color. I wouldn't worry too much. Even the wanderers are only slightly updated Feigaos, so either way you're set.

My last 8XL was blue with the blue wires. I even had blue heatshrink the same color on the connectors. I also noticed that the ends of the can were dimpled (unlike my 7XL), likely to help retain the endbells better.

padailey 06.22.2007 10:48 AM

Yep mine has the dimples also... I'm not worried either cause it does work great I was just wondering.

I've been having some issues with my suspension.... not sure if it's cause its a little heavy or its something else but it just doesn't rebound well and tends to bottom out a little more than I'd like. I'm gonna try going about as stiff as I can and see what happens.

Even with the "dimples", the end plate still comes off fairly easily. I would definitely still use some type of clamp and/or support the rear of the motor.

padailey 06.22.2007 01:58 PM

I'm working on that... The motor is supported underneath by the old nitro motor mounts. As I've adjusted some things around they don't work as well as they did when I first got it together but there is some support there. I thought I had something figured to clamp the motor to the mounts and hold the motor together but it just didn't work out so I'm back to the drawing board. I have another idea but haven't gotten it worked out yet.

If running the RC-Monster heatsink, just use a piece of aluminum angle on the back part where it clamps and attach to chassis. That is what I did when I ran XL motors in my buggy.

padailey 06.22.2007 03:40 PM

Where is everyone getting this aluminum angle? I found a place online www.onlinemetals.com but I'd rather get something locally so I can get what I need rather than re-order more when I screw up! lol

BrianG 06.22.2007 05:51 PM

Just order a foot or so. That way you have extra to play with.
