So When are the motors due out?
 

All the hype and all the speculation, when are they releasing the motors.

When people stop making new threads asking the same question thats been asked a dozen times already; when they know, we'll know.... :mdr: :wink:

ouch neil.. lol

the only reason i posted this was because i read that they were being released in 4-5 days..

That would be awesome but for some reason, I dont think its gonna happen :)

Put some underwear on buddy...

I hope so. I need a motor for my buggy but I'm not going to be a guinea pig on this one. I already have $20 invested in returns of my Monsters, so I'll wait until there are little to no problems with them before I buy this time.

I believe they actually have been beta testing a few so i'm more confident that the bugs are worked out...

yeah, if they are what people say they are going to be, we will be surprised when we get our hands on them. :yes:

i hope your right...now here in quebec the snow is close to fall and stay on the ground:party:

you lucky duck

me lucky....when the v3 comme out i dont really know where i should TEST my unit..i have 5 units in repair:lol::whistle:run in the snow isn't good for the truck....:whip:

I have only seen the motors in the combos. So the motors probably wont be coming out until the MMM v3 comes out. I'm anxious to get my hands on one too. But for me winter means no snow and I can run my MT's all year long. Even my cheap feigaos wont overheat in winter

lol yay!

:surprised:you are lucky....i have to wait 6 month...until the snow melt...

i think that i have to move in your country:party:

i hope that cc sale the motor separatly.!??

hey e-mike if you bought the new emaxx or revo wouldnt it be OK due to the waterproof electronics?

or will it not make it through the snow

Suddenly I feel not so bad that I have to drive 30 minutes just to have a piece of grass or parking lot to run in. Living in the middle of a city sucks for RC! Even a 1/18 isn't much fun in a city apartment.

Hopefully if life runs its course I will be down near Danbury, CT in the next 6 months and closer to both RCM and the Barn - maybe just in time for next year's bash. :yipi:

yes for me my truck are like jewel i take really care of it...im little creazy....and perfectionist ..my truck never see water,mud or snow and i change all the used part each month:yes:(a-arms,hub,skid plate)

I'm aware of this beta testing:lol: Wish they had done that with the esc. I'm pretty sure that these cc/neu motors will be the best thing going for our aspect of the hobby. With lower priced, higher quality motors maybe there won't be so many over heated Feigaos out there!

But Feigaos motors are the best. The Traxxas VXL motor is Feigao so they have got to be good :yes:

:rofl::rofl::rofl: you have got to be kidding! the traxxas motor may be a feigao but nue kicks feigaos a$$:rules:

Drift_buggy - What drugs are you on? LOL No offence intended but Feigaos are far from the best. They are cheap and a good motor to start with, that I'll give them. I think most here have started with or at least had one and when they saved up some more $ they bought something better. A medusa is about $30 more and much better quality. Although Neus are expensive they are "the best". I have only seen one report on here of an xl motor running at temps that where below the ragged edge of meltdown, and I bet he had a fan on it! Feigaos are constantly 180+, pretty much any way you gear them they run hot. Now this isn't a total bash on Feigao, they are good for what they are, an inexpensive motor to get started into brushless. As for the vxl motor being Feigao, I haven't seen positive proof that it def is, unless you count my vxl rustler (on 2s geared for 42MPH) running at 185* as proof!

Me want Motor Soon also, Getting the MMM/2200kv For my E-Revo :yipi:,
I agree with e-mike I dont like to tun my trucks on snow, or water (screws get all rusted just not me)

e-Revo - Search on rc-m and there is confirmation posted by myself from Feigao that they make the motor from Traxxas. Traxxas confirmed it - No harm Feigao are good entry level motors and a S/M can is more than enough for a rustler/pede.

As to the comments by drift_buggy that is sarcasm which American's have a hard time picking up on... Funny for us though - lol...

guys your so funny. i was wondering what people would reply to his comment, being aussie myself, i got it straight away... some others just dont get it haha.

anyway, id never buy a feigao. its either a $30 throwaway motor from HC or a neu. the $30 do VERY well for short runs and seem to have more power than my neu??? (weird...) but after 5 minutes running up and down the street, its reasonably close to its failure temp.... whereas my neu would barely be warm... but for some dirt thrashing or mud slinging they are perfect. wouldnt waste 90 bucks on a feigao for the same result... and who cares if they dont last as long, im not about to put my neu 1/2 covered in mud am i!

other than the feigaos being more unreliable and hot temps and so on....how do they compare performance wise? i have a 7xl and im very curious to see what the difference would be vs a neu motor geared for the exact same speed with the exact same lipos and so on. i cant imagine having anymore torque than what i already am recieving with my 7xl.
its already enough. i know you can gear a nue to reach higher speeds, but if i wanted to just be at 45mph and say the feigeo dont run hot...will it be the same in performance then or what?

it is night and day in comparison, i went from a 8xl Finned can to a 1515 1y, such a big differnce, tons more torque, better run time and lower temps:yes:

Not to fuel any fires, but I have had decent success with feigao motors. I have owned dozens and have had 7xl on 4s setups in mt and buggies run decent temps. Neu motors are superior, no doubt about it. I personally think the castle/neu mtors will put the last nail in the feigao xl's coffin...

I like my feigao 7XL also and also cant imagine any more power. Its just crazy fast. Once you get the novak heatsink on it, temps drop a bunch. Throw a couple 40mm fans and you are good to go for a while. For people in hot climates like me feigaos are not recommended unless you are going to add some type of cooling. Any temps 80 and below with just a heatsink geared resonably and you are ok. Air flow is also a requirement for these motors. I have noticed the smooth can motors just dont do a good job of keeping cool and need help. That being said the CC motors should put them out of business once they arrive. By getting the combo you are basically getting the CC motor for the price of a feigao. Just the added efficiency which will equate to more run time would be worth it.

completely true statement from the pimp.:yes:

i hope that what ever motor it is it shows up at the ihobby expo this weekend:yes:



and then we will all know , modern tech. is so cool , it will be everywhere


i hope that they made plenty , i am sure they will go quick

A bit late getting back to this but I need to redeem myself! Arct1k, I do remember such a threadbut haven't kept up with it, I remember it being said that someone had talked to someone at one of the companies and confirmed that the vxl was made by Feigao but I didn't remember who said it. Coming form you I beleive it now, especially after meeting you at the bash and seeing the real you your an incredible person. For all I remembered though it could have come from some trx forum junky. For all the bad talk I have given to Feigaos I'm not totally putting them down either. They are certainly good entry level motors and aren't to horrible for the money, just with the experience I have now I would cough up the extra $30 or so and get a Medusa at the very least.

As far as questioning Drift_Buggy, I was really hoping that it was sarcasm. However he doesn't have his setup posted in his sig or profile so I had no idea if he was one of the few that have had great luck with them, I can't remember everyone's setups from previous posts. So in hind sight yes I see the sarcasm I just wasn't possitive, thats why I added a little of my own with the what drugs are you on line followed by lol. No harm intended Drift_Buggy, please accept my informal apology, you too arct1k if any of this has offened. I mean to offend no one who knows more than me, or at least what I know. I'm not the most intelligent but I do have a retty good understanding of electrical theory and common sense plus I pick things like this up pretty easily.:whistle: I guess I'm saying that if I offended any complete noobs....O well:lol: Not really but if it happens they should learn from it. In all honesty I just hope that there are a few people out there that will actually listen to what I have to say and don't just think I'm blowing smoke out my A$$

This forum has tons of useful info as well as tons of inside jokes and humor that may be hard for some to follow all the time

No need for an apology and no offense at all taken - Sarcasm is one of those cultural things - It is used quite extensively in the UK and elsewhere but very little in the US.

Thanks for the tape - Holding up great in the motors!

That's funny because it's like native language to us Texans. Maybe this is why Texans and Australians get along so well. :yes:

One thing everyone should have noticed is that driftbuggy has thousands of posts on here and been here a while and that should have been enough of a tip off I think.
