Slash, BL options
 

Hey ok, im gonna be setting up a slash.

I really want to use the MM ESC for the tuning, but im willing to part with it if need be. ill be running the NEU 3s packs. These are the options im seeing. if yall can gimme your selection rank

Traxxas VXL
CC MM 5700 Combo
MM with VXL motor

what do you guys think. I want a reliable system

mm and vxl motor if your running 3s

If you can afford a Neu motor, take a 1509, 2.5d/s, 2700Kv. I run this motor with a MM on 3s in my slash and it's incredibly fast, and stay cool after 30 minutes.:wink:

MM and VXL motor would be my top choice of those listed

I wouldn't even think of running a MM5700 combo on 3S in a slash. You're just asking for heat problems with that high of a in that vehicle.

yeah the 5700 is really only good for touring cars or really light 1/10 off-road like a bandit or something. I say the MM and VXL form what you listed but you could use the NEU or Medusa motors as well.

I like my medusa 2k 60mm with the vxl ESC, IMO like less clogging and less interferance(TRX radio) than with the MM when geared 20/36.

Cons... you'll need some wire extensions, no 4s.

sweet! thanks guys, im gonna go with the MM and VXL combo.

ORDERED

Just FYI, I'm currently running a Feigao 16s on 4s lipo in my slash. Right now it's geared 22/90 and does about 40mph with barely any heat after a full pack. I run on street/grass/mulch/dirt etc., lots of tire spinning!

I liked the VXL setup, I had one in a stampede and one in an SRT. Both were strong setups and decent in 2s for heat

Andrew I have a VXL system I'm gettin rid of. Motor has a brand new rotor installed by Traxxas and hasn't been ran, the ESC has 2 runs on it when it was in my V-Twin.

I ran a vxl motor for 3-4 months but have since replaced it with an MM and hv6.5 I had sitting around. Plenty of power and much lower temps with 4s lipos.
