Brushless power
 

hey guys, ive just purchaced the front and rear end of a revo to go with the G2R chassis when it arrives. Im having alot of trouble with my emaxx constantly having to upgrade parts to make it strong so it will take the power...will the G2R be the same? What have people broken on them? What is an essential upgrade? what brushless combo would be best for at least 5-10 minute runtimes on 14 cells but would like the option to go up to around 16-18? Ive been told the 9920, 7xl/10xl are a good combo?? How would they be geared/ Is Mod 1 worth it for the revo?

sorry about all the questions, just dont want to make anymore wrong desicions. Thanks in advance.

Cheers Adam

No, the G2R won't be like the Maxx. You might break a select few parts if your really tuff on it, but the only thing I've ever broken was a pillowball. And that wouldn't have happened if I didn't have aluminum arms on it.

So what brushless set-up do you guys think? minimum 5-10 mins run time nice power, run cool...14 cells but the option to go to more 16-18?

Cheers Adam

I would say a 9XL. Maybe a 10XL.

What would the difference be between the 9XL and the 10XL

The 9XL will offer slightly more power but less runtime and visa-versa.

Squee's right, the G2R is practically unbreakable (watch, i said that and will break something at the race tomorrow, haha)I haven't broke anything yet. I'm running a Novak HV brushless and can make ten minutes on cheap 3300's

How long run times should i expect from the 10XL and 9XL on IB4200's?

9XL, at least 20+ minutes HARD running and close to 30 with the 10XL.

i think ill go with the 9XL then...would the 9920 be ok? What speeds would i get on 14 cells and on 18 cells?

14, probably around 40ish, with 18, I would say 55+ probably. As for speedos, I would personally go for the Quark 125.

what are the advantages of the 125 over the 9920?

The 125 should be smoother and run cooler, and it just looks soo darn sexy in the case its in:) *Edit* I wouldnt run 18 cells in a revo, unless you can find some super stiff springs for it!

ok thanks for all your help guys....ill post some pics once its finished :D

We'll be waiting for them pics! :)
