My Stampede 4x4, with datalog of the Castle 3800
 

This is my Stampede 4x4. Running the Castle Sidewinder 3800kv. Trencher tires, Tekno driveshafts, modded bumpers, rpm arms, yada, yada.

Currently I'm running 11/54 gearing, a Gens 3s 5000mah 40c. Radared at 54mph. I just got my datalogger today, so of course I had to play, and the results were.

Temps were 125 esc, 130 motor, 50 ambient.

As an educated guess, I thought it was going to pull 117 amps. Not sure if you can read it, but it pulled 116.8, with a pack low voltage of 10.38 :whistle:

Of course I'm just figuring the datalogger out, but it's alot of fun.

wow i didnt think the little sct esc was good for 100 amps, very nice logs

This sytem has been very impressive, so far. I started with the esc down in the chassis, and it was getting much warmer.

Here a little vid, of it doing it's thing. This is basically the kind of driving I was doing for the log. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hlVG9EeqbY

If you watch nothing else, the 1:00 minute mark is a must see. Truly displays this things power.

I'll say. :surprised:

great video

@ 0:40 :surprised: :lol:


Nice save!

I am running the same sytem in a 2wd pede. Can you say no real load... I might have to give it a try in the 4x4 pede. Once I get the rear driveshats in...

My system runs ice cold. Motor does not even get warm. I am geared for about 45. The esc seems to do fine, ran it today but I ended the run with a flasjing amber light and steering only. Was that the lvc kicking in? Battery had not been charged for a while.

I haven't seen that flasjing amber light on my CC ESCs before. Is it a new feature on the SCT system? I think it means you're having too much fun. You should make a thread in the Castle section so Patrick can chime in on it.

Think the esc took a dump...

I did post a thread, thanks sweetie.

Thanks guys, I'm glad you enjoyed. My plan is to find this motor's and esc's limits, which will lead to me testing the trucks limits. I tried to use the stock front shafts, they didn't hold up to a single backflip off the rock, go figure :) I know, you tried to say it wouldn't be enough in the 4wd :whistle: You power hungry monger :na: I haven't even had to put a better esc in yet. I don't have any ideas about what the lights mean. I haven't hit a hard cutoff, yet.

I think the new sidewinder is a pretty good esc... But mine may have had an early death.

The motor has plenty of power. Good stuff, escpecially for the price. I paid around 93 bucks shipped. You cannot beat that.

I will swap in a MM and really gear it up. Maybe low 60s. My lipo is up to the task, but I will have to setup the suspension alot better than it is now!!! And balance the tires.

This motor is IMO a monster. I split it open when I first got it. Here's the rotor, next to the only one I had laying around, a Novak. But the Novak is actually a little longer then a standard 540 rotor, like the VXL.

This thing has to be breaking records for the best bang for your buck :)

Remember that time you laughed at your friend 'cause they fell off their bike and it turned out they were really hurt and you felt bad? :whistle:

I'm flattered that you used your favorite pet name with me, but you'll have some explaining to do when _paralyzed_ finds out.

you're going down nitro?:diablo:

Seems like that is what he meant? Where is hippie? Have his eyes rolled back in his head yet?
