bigest badest motor on 5s lipo
 

im getting to the point were i need to start to think about somthing to power my custom monster im making, i dont have a clue how much it weighs so my guess is 12lb+ when i get it rtr. so whats the best motor to power a big heavy monster truck on a 5 cell lipo pack? i wont speeds that will top near 50 when geared right but i also wont tree stump rippen torque when geared low :D

Sounds like a Plett BigMaxx would be the best way to go.

ya but thats alot a $$ though. any thing cheaper maby

Don't get a bigmaxx with any amount of cells or what so ever...

It takes a schulze to power it up, which is a horror..

Get the 7XL instead, it's smoother, same power at a fraction of the price (and running much smoother) and you can use the 9920 to complete the setup..

The 7XL is the best motor money can buy, (biggest bang for the buck) for 14, 16 and 18 cells. the 18.5 volts you are looking at, will put it in a very efficient rpm rate.

the 5S lipoly

ok cool i was looking at running a mgm 160 thats why i wonted a 5s witch is the limit on that controller. with the 9920 i can run a 6s pack 22volts. will the 9920 take a 7xl running and a 6s pack? how bout the 7xl will it even take a 6s pack?

For the money you spend to get the motor(big maxium). You can get he motor and controller. 7xl is a good bang for the buck. You can run the mgm 160 with it to. 5s pack with a 7xl should do good.

7xl with 9920 controller is probably the cheapest way to hit your target.

For 6s how about the 20xl/8 with 9920.

the 8xl on a 6slipo will be basicly the same motor as a 7xl on a 5s right?

Yeah, only a bit more efficient.. (with 230 watts more power available!)

sweet ok guys thats what im going to run 8xl 9920 with a 6s lipo :Love:

FLY! shoot a movie for us!!

well it isent going to be done for a wile need to save up the $$ (im a poor man in a costly hobbie) but should be done in a few months hopfully

What's this truck you're working on Stampy?

i would actually recommend a lehner xl 2800 for 5s lipo. for 6s i would recommend the xl 2400. they have more torque and efficiency than a feigao and the cans dont pop open.

my own hand made chassie with an emaxx tranny and diffs, lst axles, bearing carriers and holders, looks sumfin like this :p ,its changed a bit sence the pics were taken but still looks pritty much the same :Love:
