Looking for a new BL system
 

I have been pondering a long time and burned myself buying the HV. I couldn't wait to go BL. But, will be saving money as my ex wife took my tax money. But thinking of something like the 10xl w/9920 controller. I run 14 cells now and as i've said before, i'm KNOW i'll want more later. The controller you guys said that it would take more cells later. What's your opinion on this set up? I want to eventually get to the 40 mph range.:028:

the 10xl on 14 cells will get you well over the 40 mph range. i think around 45ish. thats what i run and soon 16 cells or 6s lipo, but it is a great powerful setup.

Thanks squee, is the 9920 a good controller? Or would you suggest something diff? How are your temps? In two weeks i should have the motor. What about tranny? Do you run a single speed? If so, would you have a link for a good one?
Again, many thanks!! When my HV is fixed, i'm putting it in my old lady's truck! LOL

the 9920 would work fine and with BL there is no need for first gear.

yup, exactly. there is no need for a first gear. i do not have a singlespeed though. i locked my tranny. until i could get one. yes, i run the 9920 and its great. the temps are about 130ish. i would recommend the mgm 16024 if you can afford it. there are quite pricey but i like them alot primarily because they can handle 8s lipo and are very adjustable.

The 9920 is fine! First gear is really usless, especially in a BL truck.... You will also thank your drivetrain with a single speed (2nd gear) tranny, the torque of bl is just too much for some applications.

For me first gear is good. If you run in some tight spots bashing around. First really come in handy. If you got the more open area and run higher speeds the single is better. The emaxx trans is good with steel idlers.

Thanks guys! I'm going with the 10xl/9920. And since i bash a little too, i may just keep first as coolhand suggested. Four shocks? Hmmm can I keep them? I hear weight makes a big diff on temps? How true is this? I have MIPS's all the way around, and it seemed to add a lot of weight, and I have stock tranny gears. What will i also need for gears and diffs? Do you have a link for the 16024 so i can check the price?

I run the steel idlers in my trans. I ran the 4 shocks as well for bashing. I don't race so it is all bashing.

Ok, i think i'll stick with the 9920...wow! Will the 9920/10xl work ok with a JR XS3 transmitter and novak receiver?

it should.

I think i asked, but what am i gonna do about my diffs? Casings for the diffs? What is the way to go for gears and all the stuff i will need for diffs? Anyone? thanks guys. I'm thinking of getting my motor and controller, then get into the gears and all that but need the info so I know what i'm getting into. Think mike would give a deal on that set up?

PS - Squee, love the new pic!

what i would do is get the brushless, then the diffs when they fail. it shouldnt be long though. as for diffs, i would go for the flm bulkless hybrids with the hb lightning pro diffs.

thanks! jay and silent bob RULE!!

Ok, thanks man. will do. one last question. Should i get the 10xl "wanderer"?

yeah they do!!!!!!

Ok dude. Couldn't wait as my reciever will be here tomorrow, my hv maxx is being sent in as we speak (which the wife will get). So, i bought the 10xl wanderer, and the 9920 controller.

So far...
MIP centers
Dynamite cvd's
Novak receiver 5 channel
IB3800's 7 cell
Robinson racing slipper
Rear Dynamite aluminum bulk / front plastic
Alum front a-arms (integy, sucky but hold up well luckily and lite)
Big Bores

yea, sorry about not responding faster. i guess ive been slacking. yes, the wanderer is the one to get unless you like purple like me. dont forget 3 5.5 mm make connectors though!

The wanderer comes with those. what should I get?

The 5.5mm female plugs are installed but you still need to buy 3 5.5 connectors for the males.

thanks. I should be able to get those from my LHS? Or get'em from Mike?

get them from mike

Now with this sensorless setup, what else will i need to run it?

Ok, also, am i retard? i cannot find them on the site ( connectors )?

http://www.rc-monster.com/proddetail...mmplugs&cat=21 3.5mm connectors
http://www.rc-monster.com/proddetail...9000325&cat=21 5.5mm connectors

Thanks Mike!!! I also wanted to say thank you! This is my first order with the 9920/10xl set up and am impressed with how fast the shipping was and the cost! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The best order experience ever!!!!!!!

Just ordered the connectors. Now, last one guys. Am i forgetting anything to run this system? Or should i be ready to drop it in and go? Is there anything like a break in period with this motor?? Will i need anything else running this on 14 cells?

Besides to get it in and batts charged up. I think some time to run it. It is no break in on brushless. Get the gearing right and let it go.

What gearing would you suggest so i don't burn this thing up in one day. I want speed and little torque!! Thanks again guys, this is going to be fun!!!!

14 cells on a 10xl with a 9920 esc. If you running about a 150 mm tall tire about a 18 or 20 should work out fine.
That is mod1 with 51 tooth spur.

This is going to be a dumb question, but what is a mod1?

I'm running prolines rims and tires, not sure of the size, they are almoset the same if not the same size a the stock tires. I found the mod1's harden steel. I ran 72/11 with my hv though. 51/?? i guess would be the question with the tires i have...plus, i think my truck is a little on the heavy side...should i be concerned with heat?

It's the pitch of the gears that 1/8 nitros use which is stronger than the stock 32 pitch on the e-maxx,the strobe slipper fits a 51T mod1 spur gear,you'd need mod1 5mm bore pinions with it.

Right now i have the robinson racing slipper, this will not work? Would you have a link for the strobe kit?
I really appreciate it guys. All this help is awsome.....THANKS!

strobe slipper http://www.rc-monster.com/proddetail...per-Kit&cat=17

Thanks boss. Does the kit come with the pads? I got one ordered now, but it didn't say if it came with pads...thanks for the link.

OK. Now after having 3 pages on a thread. I think I'm set. I have:

Robinson Racing Slipper & Strobe Set up
9920/10XL
MIP center
Dynamite cvd's
dynamite aluminum rear bulks
Integy front a-arms
Proline tires and rims
IB3800 7 cells
Mod'd stock chasis
Mod1 16/51T (plastic, not sure if it will hold up, we'll see)

So, i should be set to go until i smash it to pieces since most everything is stock!

no problem.im pretty sure the slipper doesnt come with pads.

cool thanks a mill!!!
