fegaio 7xl

[toby]

i have been waiting for all kinds of parts in the mail and have randomly been getting slips for the post office. Today i go and there is a 9 dollar custom fee. i look at the package when i get it, from Mike Cronin. I was like YES RCMONSTERMIKE could only be my motor. It is beautiful motor. the best looking thing i have ever seen:Love: :Love: :Love:

I think it performs even better than it looks. Just wait tell you test it.

[toby]

it is seriously so beautiful

How many cells you going to run toby? I ran mine with 18 cells. It was impressive.

[toby]

i was going to run 16. i am going with a warrior 9920. not sure though, what kind of cells did you run?

[coolhandcountry]

I had gp 3300 and gp 3700. Even made me up some 3000 packs. Have to many batteries i think.

[toby]

what kind would you suggest?

[coolhandcountry]

I like the gp 3300 and gp 3700. I hear alot of good things about the ibc 3800. I would like to try them before suggesting them. The truck will not do no better than what you put in. It makes a big difference. A stock emaxx on 14 good cells will break up shafts. If you get the ibc or the gp batteries are good. The gp 3700 are a little bit bigger. So are the ibc 3800. Not reall enough to worry unless space is tight.

should i run the barracuda 125 y castle creations? because the warrior is rated 99 and the motor is 95, not much room for error

[MetalMan]

The motor's rating means nothing when it comes to how many amps it will actually pull. On average, the motor will only pull 15-20amps. On bursts, though, the motor can easily exceed its rating. The Warrior 9918 is a controller that is made for car use, and the Baracuda is for boat use (although someone somewhere said that they had excellent results with a Barracuda in a car). If the 9918 gets hot, then a fan can be put over its heatsink.

if you ever plan on running lipos or a bigger motor i would recommend the mgm 160. only thing is its only rated for 5s lipo or 16 cells. its still a very good controler. wish i had gotten one instead of the 9920. ofcoarse it wasnt out then.

[toby]

Well i am not sure what to do for a controller cause i do not have the money to replace the controller. so it is buy one and never burn up or spend a little less and have a good chance of it burning up

[squeeforever]

the warrior wont burn up just because it says the motor is rated for 95 amps. it can handle burst of 120 no problem from what i have been told. numberous people on this forum run the 9920 with the 7xl. i myself am gonna get a 7xl to run in my evo with a 9920. i believe serum has a 7xl with a 9920 as does dafni....as long as you gear it correctly you dont have anything to worry about. i had a defective 9918 and it burnt up, but since it was under warranty it was replaced. not sure about what mikes warranty is but finedesignrc.com has a 2 year waranty. i would assume mikes is just as good as his prices are cheaper also. i wish he would have had the 9920s instock when i got mine....

[toby]

i do not think he has his yet, What would you gear the savage at with the 7xl and the 9920?

[coolhandcountry]

Hey toby. I will tell you the bk controller are tough. I ran a 70 18 on a 7xl. I had the motor geared kind of high and 18 cells on it. I was killing the poor thing and didn't know any better. It lasted longer than i would have gave it now. Knowing what i know. I run a shulze 18 97 with 18 cells. I had the 7xl on that overgeared again. It is only rated for 97 continous. 9920 will survive good. I have faith in it. :)
