Upgraded Stampede VXL

This will be written in a few posts, as my pc keeps killing internet explorer, and I am sick of re-typing!

Anyways, I have done a few trades recently and ended up with a Pede vxl roller, neuenergy 5000 3s lipo and a Sidewinder esc. Figured that I would try out some of the unused motors in my "collection"! Going to stick with motors around 3500vk for this test.

My baseline is an old pede with an upgraded vxl tranny, revo style slipper, and full rpm treatment. This little guy has been beat up, and always come back for more. My favorite setup was a feigao 12s motor, 3s 4000 lipo and a mm. Gearing was 58/15, 32p. Runtimes ranged from 35-45mins, and it worked well, although the motor did get hot near the end. It never lost performance though! Ran it quite a bit and it was always very powerful, and good for mid 40s top speeds.

I pitted this against a vxl rustler and found that it was better than the stock traxxas brushless sytem, with the stock gearing, on 3s lipo. YOUR RESULTS MAY VARY, and I personally do not care how fast anyones emaxx goes with a vxl in it! Or how great the non-adjustable vxl esc is. Or that the feigao built traxxas motor is not built by feigao.
