need set-up for jammin truggy -
09.25.2006, 10:06 AM
i currently have a bk 7xl / bk 12020 controller in my jammin buggy. is that system powerful enough to race the jammin truggy? i will be running either a 4 or 5 cell lipo in the truggy. i have heard the quark / neu combo works well. any recommendations on controller/motor combo.
thanks
jim
just play with the buggy, drag racing nitros and stuff. no real heat issues as of yet. i have been racing my other buggy nitro unfortunately and i will be converting the new jammin buggy and truggy to electric. what specific set-ups would you recommend for each? any help would be appreciated.
thanks
again
You can get the Neu motors in every flavour. (kv-wise)
the controller can be used in both. and depending on the gearing ratio of the truggy/buggy and the desired speed/drive variables (onroad/offroad), amount of cells, you can determine what KV you need.
I'm running a 1512 and 1515 in my buggy/truggy respectively. For a 4s lipos setup I like a kv close to 2000.
I'm running 1900kv in the buggy and 1700 in the truck, but you could go a little higher if you want. I have room to gear down more on mine so they could toelrate a higher kv motor. For a 30ish mph speed it takes about a 13/46 on the buggy and 12/49 on the truck and that's about the slowest I would ever run them. They can gear up for more speed just fine.
Hope that makes sense... I'm typing fast... gotta go.
