Brushless Racing
 

hey guys,

does anyone on the forum race becides me? what are you runnig for motor/esc? chassis?

im running the 8L with the 9918 on 12 cells with a race bomb chassis

I have been building my truck since the summer. I got a used stock emaxx and never ran it. I started my building process then.

I have now:

Extended GMAXX Ali chassis
GMAXX Shock Towers
Integy MSR5 Shocks
9L
UE Driveshaft
UE Steel idler gears
Dynamite CVDs
14 cells


Soon I will have
Warrior 9918
BEC
GMAXX G3 Race Suspenion

I cant wait till spring.

You pretty much know I race (we met at the track). I race the 8L, 9918 warrior on 12 cells with Gorilla-maxx chassis and ext., maximizer diff cups, Integy bulkheads and diff cases. There are couple other racers here as well.

I race also - Gmaxx aluminum ext chassis, supermaxx 1/8 scale difs, integy suspension, 8L yada yada yada -

Just diggin up an OLD thread cuz I can. :)

This one made me laugh when I read the setup Mike was racing back then. Kinda funny how far its come in just a few years. That setup wouldnt be considered anything more than an entry level play-thing now days, but was probably State-of-the-Art back then.

Note the use of primarily L motors...

An 8L, 12 cells, with good cells it hauls on 12 cells.

Yes, the L motor then.......and before that, when BL came to the car seen, they were using S cans, and get this, they say they ran cool.... yeah, right. :eek:

an L can and 9920.... That was my first brushless setup too. Just makes me laugh is all. Thinking I spend what that whole system cost on just a battery pack now.

Its makin me think, Maybe its just me thats out of hand here??

LOL I know!

Integy bulks? Haha, thats funny.. Mikes race maxx last time I saw it is AWSOME!

Call it progression and evolution, in those days we were looking Started with s can, then L can, Now we are at Neu's

I guess they could get away with running the S can motors because we had nothing more than 2400 NiCD, or 2800 NiMH? So it would only have 10 mins of runtime, and these were Hacker motors, I think they are a little more efficient than Feigao's, IIRC.

Thats what i think, as amp capacity goes up, so does current used, providing the components can take it
