This can`t be good
 

MMM 2650 combo in a E-revo

Is this dude going to end with toasty lipo batteries or MMM combo?Also he`s claiming 50 mph "full charged":lol:

thats fine if he gears right.

Well I`m thinking he might not be to knowledgeable about his gear.First sign of this is he`s using the stock Traxxas TQ radio & the emphasizes of 65 mph in the description.

yeah hes screwed:party:

It looks pretty quick though.

For the 3 runs he gets until its fried. :lol:

It`ll be kinda a bummer if something goes wrong & the Castle creation warranty will be void :rules:

I guess the 2650 in the revo is unacceptable...:neutral:

BUT the Novak gtb in a savage....:surprised:

Thats not stupid. Thats just "half a brain"...

The problem with some people is that they take these before thinking up vehicle & power system combos:

^^^So that's what they give out on the TRX forums^^^

If a 60mm Medusa can survive in a E-REVO I'm sure a 1512 sized motor can as well. 2650kv if it's geared right, 40MPH max, shouldn't be to bad

It wouldn't be my first choice of systems, but that setup is probably not as bad as you think it would be. First of all, it's 2WD, which is easier on any setup. Second, he's using the 2 speed tranny, that'll reduce the load at start up load yet allow for higher speeds in second gear.

The first BL E-Maxx I ever saw was sporting a Feigao 9L on 14 cells NiMH, that CC motor is a heck of a lot more powerful and in a lighter RC (assuming it isn't very upgraded other than the motor). There's nothing wrong with running a 60mm or 1512 in an E-Revo, the 1515 and 70mm motors are just more insane.

Wow. Another victim of the Traxxas forums. That E-Revo was zippy, but I doubt 65mph.That old guy seemed to know more than them!

IMO that thing would top out at 50-55 with that motor and it would run hot. In order to hit 65 you'll need the bigger motor.

Thats what he says he`s running for batteries.:gasp:I going assume he means 3S 11.1 volts times 2

Where'd you get 50mph from? He says 65mph... 50mph is more realistic however :yes:

yea my buddy just put his 2d in his mbx5t cause of a broken shaft on his 1515, it runs good with just a little less torque, neu motors are beasts!

He says it verbally in the video.I over looked the the 65 mph in the info section

I ran a Feigao 380XL in a Revo trannied E-maxx on 14 cells for a season of unlimited monster class racing. It didn't burn. Gave nice, smooth power which was easily a match for the nitro trucks. Used to wheely when it hit 2nd too.

You can get away with smaller motors in large trucks, you've just got to have allowances for it, like the two speed.

The hvmaxx is technically 380XL... *dun dun dun*

So long as allowances are made, and head is screwed on, smaller motors can be used with much success. I'd still rather have a bigger, lower kv motor though on higher voltages, buts its all good...

LOL I use a vxl. It hauls and stays under 150*F after 20 min on 4s.

IMO its OK to use smaller motors if you have the right gearing.
