Lehner vs Feigao
 

Which motor do you think is better for a stampede, the lehner 4200 or the 8s. I'm planning on running 10 cells. I've had great experience with the lehner, but the price of the 8s is tempting. Are they pretty similar in performance?

I got a 8S for a rc10T2, i was thinking about the lehner as well, but i got the 8S.

they are pretty simular in performance. the the lehner though, has got a screwed endbell, and the 8S takes the rc-monster heatsink/clamp to keep in one piece. (not that it will fall apart that easy, but it's nice to add a little safety, and it keeps the 8S running cooler as well.)

Praps it will be best to get the Wanderer 8s mike is getting in-stock, roughley the same price as the fiego and suppose to have more durable bearings etc.

I won't have the wanderer 8s for a little bit. I will slowly phase the wanderers in as the Feigaos go out of stock. Perhaps a Feigao sale is in order!

Did I hear SALE?!:D

Did I hear T2, Rene?!

LOL, yeah Daniel! a generous gift!

what do you say? 6-7-8 Nimh's or a 2-3S lipo? 6 to start with?

I would suggest you put it in a box and send it to me!! :D

Seriously, 8S? How many cells fit in there? 8 cells if I remember correct? Go straight to 8!
Lipo? Of course, man! If you have some.

I have a T2 with a Lehner 5300 in it, that was the ultimate bashing combo, until I had to sell the shock springs with my old Pede........now it's just been sitting, raped of it's vital parts, for the last couple of months.

Is it durable Dabid?

Serum. the T2 and T3 are both very durable. I have a T3 and a friend has a T2 and we tried to break them one day( no wallshots, just straight out bashing) and neither broke. The T2 will serve you very well.

T2's more durable than the T3 though, the T3 has a few weak points, and my brother tends to find them. I have yet to change any of the plastic parts on my T2 since I bought it for $30 as a roller, just some Lunsford turnbuckles and balls studs, some RPM ball cups, and that's about it. The sucker's built like a tank, especially because of the alum. tub chassis.

Great to hear! towers has got nearly every replacement part that i can imagine. (tried searching the exploded view, and nearly any part is available, exept for the tub-chassis.

That balldiff. how tight does it need to be? with my mini-t it needs to be so tight that it allmost doesn't work as a diff anymore (3-racing) otherwise, the balls will die in a matter of time..

I can also get Associated parts, Rene. I also found the T2 to be a nearly indestructable truck. I added 1/8 links as the rear upper turnbuckles and never broke anything after this mod. I wish I hadn't sold it, actually.

That is great news Mike.. i mentioned towers, only that in knew from them, that the parts are still available. Good tip in the 1/8th links. I am starting to get curious at this little bundle of joy.. Did you drove it brushless as well Mike?

Sure did. 8s motor(same as you will run). I ran 8 cells with it, too. I did upgrade to an alloy idler gear in the tranny, but otherwise never had any troubles with it handling the power. It was damn fast, too!

Guys, you're mean! Ever since I got interested in RC, I wanted some kind of AE rc10. Just never got around to look for one. Still can't make my mind up if I want a buggy or a truck.
One day, I'll get one.

Rene, and 10th scale indoor track would be cool, eh?

Yeah! need to get a bigger house then!!

Mike, where can i get such an idler?

Have you got pics of your RC10 ?

Daniel; i would personally get a truck, it has got a bit bigger wheels, so you can drive thru grass etc.

So far in 3 years i've broken only 2 front bulkheads and stripped out a rear suspension mount (replaced with rpm's now)

I can get the alloy idler, Rene. I may even have one kicking around here somewhere, actually. I didn't get any pictures of it, unfortunately. I do have the roiginal tub chassis rc10T also. I could take a picture of that, but it hasn't been run in years. Perhaps I should ready it for some serious bashing!

Mike, that idler.. It sounds interesting.. what alloy is it? i saw that idler on the exploded fiew, looked it up, and i foresaw some proplems with that one..

I think mine is going to toss around 8 cells as well.

not sure the exact material, but I never took my tranny apart after I installed it(never had the need to). :)

Same here, my T2's stock (or whatever's inside the tranny, I haven't had to take it apart) takes the power fine, and I have yet to break anything more than a ball stud. I've since gone through and put on Lunsford Ti turnbuckles and rear ball studs (also Ti) and RPM ball cups, the thing's indestructable!

Serum what kind of stadium truck do you have :p .

LOL!!!

it is on his way to me actually!! it will arrive TOMOROW!!! Yeah!!!! I am dancing on the table..! (this is daniels saying, but i like it in this way.. )

THANKS A TON HIPPIE!!!!!

Serum i did'nt know you did table dances :p .

Learned from Daniel, though i keep my clothes on....

Who is this Daniel you keep talking about? :lol

LOL.. it's that punk that has got about half of his RC collection stalled at my place...

Hey, let us know how the T2 turns out, mine was in sad shape when I got it......but I'd still say it was more than worth the $30 for the roller. :D

It's since been really cleaned up, as well as had the Lunsford treatment all around (including Ti ball studs on the rear because I killed a steel one and had to get a new bulkhead): http://photobucket.com/albums/v39/dabid_van/T2/

BTW, the lexan spur that came with it was nuked on the first run, Lehner 5300 sheared ALL the teeth off!

Daniel do you give lessons :eek: .

Yeah, trust me, your not interested...

:L:

it takes months of intense therapy to get over it.. (includes a straightjacket, isolation and lots of pills)

And just when you think you grew over it, in about a year, you wake up, screaming, swimming in a bath of pure fear sweat..

LMAO:L: .

I got the hint. Thank you.

Nononoo!!! don't get me wrong.. I am still waiting of some pics of you dancing in the table my dear friend!

Don't worry.

Hey daf were do you put the dollar bills ?:L: .

this a a perfect example of a thread gone horrible wrong....:eek:
