I would just adjust your speed with gearing, and you can use the punch (on MMM) or accel time (MGM) to tame things down a bit.

Do you think the MGM TMM 16025-3 Car / Boat Z-SERIES
is adequate? I am thinking it should be a little more then neccassary so it should not have to work to hard and hot..... I am looking for a cool setup
You guys agree? It is 165a cont 200a peak 5sec....

The finned can 1521 will fit just fine, and is probably the way to go. I wanted my muggy to go 60+ also, that was until I realized just how fast that is, and how hard it is to keep the front wheels on the ground! Also, get LOTS of tire glue!!! You WILL need it! Can't say much about controllers, as the MMM is all I know, but Zippy batteries are supposed to be real good anc cheap too. FORGET the Road Rages for street use; they're WAAAAYYY too soft. You'll shred them up very quickly. Unfortunately, your only choice for street tires with this setup is really the HPI phaltlines, but as bdebde said, DO NOT(!!!!) buy the pre glued version!!!! Glue them yourself, and make sure you do a VERY VERY VERY good job!!! Also, I would avoid the chrome next time, because it just flakes off, and then they look very ugly.
Also, I bought the XTM 40 series wheels to mount dirt tires on, because they're the only other 17mm hub 40 series wheel, making it easy to use the hpi phaltlines for street. DO NOT buy these pieces of crap; I completely destroyed one the other day!! I have NEVER in all my years in this hobby, destroyed a rim. Just get used to changing hexes too.
BTW, I sure do love my muggy!! IMO, it's the perfect RC platform, though others may disagree. |
My eyes are glued
I like the proline wheels but I would highly prefer the wabash 23mm... Do you know if the phaltlines will fit them... I think they look great and from the feedback are the must use option... I want to keep each corner under 3/4lb so there is not much rotational mass (sure to help keeping things cool) I am wondering... Is there a way to strip the crome of of the HPI if the phaltlines wont fit the 40 series 23mm.... Then i could dye them and help ensure a good bond
Chrome is out for me..j

I do like the performance of the a123.... They can feed a hungry system, but the size-weight-fittment worries me in the muggy.... Weight is of the utmost importance to me (also key to cool in my head
) and i dont see them working best for me although i am new to the big stuff so i cant speak from experience or seeing it, only from size and weight references
I really appreciate all the good input and be able to soundboard the ideas of you guys
