Holy crap. I love brushless
 

I've had tons of brushed cars, seend brushless, yada yada, i have a rustler with a sw 4600, 6 cell SPC 4600 and omg, i almost craped myself when i pulled the trigger. Vid coming soon, Just saying another happy brushless person!

Its about damn time :)

Ya once you go brushless you never go back...

Yeah, thanks guys, vid uploadin.

You need 3s now.

Haha yeah

why stop at 3s......4s is the way to go

4s is whimp stuff.

12s rules.

Pah, be like the Candyman and stick a plett bigmaxximum in their on 16 cells....

Or you could go 3s "high mah" with a medusa 50mm.

Brushless is the way to go hands down...I am trying to convince one of my co-workers to buy a BL system for his Slash and put a 3s in it!

Your first brushless is like the first time you have sex... you never forget it!:yes:

The guys werent kidding when they meant this was a mature forum. :lol:

lol, haha, nice bdebde, Yeah i love it!

Just watch temps on the batteries come summer. I took out a bunch of ib4200 packs trying to run them too hard. If you are going to gear over 35 mph on brushless you really should go 3S. It will run longer and the motor and ESC will stay cooler. The whole more voltage less current means less heat deal. Nice job though, looks pretty crazy.

You'll get the same feeling when moving to lipo as you did going to BL! It will feel like a new truck again, AGAIN!

Yes! I agree, this summer, lol, i can barely handle it now. Im surprised im not making a snow jump, lol, trying to keep myself from going on the snow. Now i want summer even more!

Those Flat Iron tires won't work well in the snow anyways... :no: I tried them on my Slash.

Lol, yeah, but there great for dirt, i was playin on some where my uncle plowed, haha its awesome, i need the castle link tho, i need more braking power! Anyone wanna help me out :mdr: i almost got it run over by a jeep already.

What did Mom tell you about playing in the street??? :rules:

Lol, it was next to the street i was power sliding in the dirt and i punched it and it caught wheelied i slammed the brakes, but it just slowed down 2 feet away from the road the i turned hard and got really close to a jeep.

Thought i would post some pics up. Cleaned up the wireing, gotta get some bullets for the motor~esc.

It looks good, but you should shorten the wires between the battery and ESC as much as you can. Those cells are good, but they still have a lot of internal resistance. If you shorten the wires you might notice a little more punch out of them.

man i know how u feel, 1st time a ran brushless and lipo in my rc18mt i was over the moon. and i caught the bug bad, i have 3 projects going at the same time (slowly) Revo, LST2, and an 8ight-B and thats only cars. i`m also converting one of my planes from nitro to electric (outrunner brushless).
Have fun!! i know i will

"just make sure that little thing can outrun the big cars" :lol:

Ok, will shorten the battery ones! Thanks.

Nice, i've had people, (BEN, RYAN) that threw me into brushless, yet i didn't have the money yet, so im happy. Sounds like some good projects. :yes:

:rofl:

Well, just postin an update, got another spur from a friend, been bashin at home depot, they got good parkin lot jumps. runnin 23/90 wondering it thats too much? Should i put the 19T back on? Also, im looking for teh best way to mount my Esc to the Esc Plate, Any ideas?

Gearing = if the temps are all fine, then the gearing is fine basically. The motor shouldnt excede 180*f max, esc about 140-150, and batts... well, they're nimhs, so... dunno.

Ideal temps would be 120-140 on esc and motor- working them hard but not so hard that they are over heating.

Looks like there is enough room to mount the esc on the opposite side of the chassis to the rx- that will lower the CoG a touch, and place the esc in a more protected location should the rusty end up upside down. Industrial grade velcro works wonders for mounting, especially with a lightweight esc like that :yes:

Hmm, looks like im gonna have to get a temp gun.... Lol. Mount it on the chassis, could i extend the wires on the motor then? Should the rustler end upside down? Its upside down more than up wards. lol.

You shouldnt need to extend the motor wires, just route them differently around the side of the shock tower (or through it), rather than up and over it. A temp gun is essential with BL setups, otherwise you will cook something sooner or later- sticking a finger on the motor for 3 seconds aint all that precise or reliable...

Ok, gotcha, Yeah, im switchin over to a 19t 90 spur, so things shouldn't cook. Thanks for the help Neil!
