new brushless build questions fo xL motors

[pcnutz]

I have ran 3 10L motors and 2 9L faegio motors for some time. I currently have a shulze 18.97 and 4 older hacker comps, I know the controllers are 1200 watt controllers, and I have seen alot of speculation of how manny watts a xl8 could use. I want to take the plunge into an xl can, but am teribly afraid of popping a controlers. I have faithfully used my controllers for some time and although I got my money's worth out of them, I would still like to keep them for alot longer.

the truck I am building is a hybrid, I am using flm hybrid bulks and a chain drive trans out of a Twinforce, and slapping them on a torpedo chassi with twinforce batt cages slung under. so the gear ratio would be of a stock twinforce

I have ate up manny e-maxx trans and only have 2 sets of ultramaxx gear sets for me to run, one is on my brushless g2r revo, and the other is on my dual 9l race bomb e-maxx. So I am left with the best trans ever made a twinforce chain drive

I already have a Twin force with 10L with hackercomp, and its the ultimate brushless truck. The drive train is indistructable with tcd diffs and the trans
so I know it will hold up to a coke can motor like 22 series

but the big question is, if I worry too much about my current controllers taking on an XL can should I just buy another controller. I would like to have another with some heft to it for other projects. Something like a 2000 watt controller. but nothing like a shulze 36.160 that is 650$, I only have a budget of 300$ for controller and 100 for motor. I have my eye on a 9xl or 8 xl, but I can only run 14 cells so I am leaning to the 8xl, but I know a 9xl is easier on the controller. I dunno, big delima,

I do know I am going to run a 10L and shulze in the truck initaly, but I have come accustom to the torque dually BL mosters I have built in the past. But to keep down weight and cell count, I would like to see what the xl can has to offer

[Sylvester]

The XL cans basicly give you longer rumtime, cooler temps and a bit more torque, for 14 cells only id get a 7xl, no need for a 8xl, you can use it but it will have less power. For my g2r im getting a 10L on 14-16 cells. what runtimes are you getting?

[crazyjr]

Coolhand_country has run a schultze 18.97 with his 2250 with no problems

[squeeforever]

what you should consider is the amps the controller can handle and not hte watts. a 9920 would do just fine on a xl motor. im not sure as to the hackers since im not familiar with them but a 9920 will do fine.

[Sylvester]

Yes, a 9920 should be plenty.

[pcnutz]

yeah but how manny times did he run his 2250 with that controller, basicly this is going to be my daily driver replacment of my brushless twinforce since I have to wait freaken 3 weeks for 6$ bushing parts for repairs. I really want something to hold up for a bit, a combo I can play with for years and not worry.

I run the hacker comp and 10L in the g2r I get a 20min walk around the block playing, or about 15 WOT on 14 gp3300 not matched

[pcnutz]

I dunno about the 9920, but the 9918 is only a 1000watt controller and I do not think I wish to buy BK agian, been threw 3 warrior 70s and 1 warrior 9918, to do a comparison the hacker is a quantum2 vs some duratrax 12t is like BK controller, guess if I want a real good product agian I will have to wait for Castle's offerings

[Sylvester]

The BK controllers arent that bad, what is keeping you away from them? How is the speed of the 10L ? thanks.

He run it a few times that i know of(even made a vid), full packs and even back-to-back with no problems that he told me about. I'm sure he will chime in later

[pcnutz]

its obvious you have not played with better products than BK. I do not like the wierd lose of posistion it gets accelerting at various times. sounds like your trans is being ate up. Also the smoother accelration from hacker, the only thing I do not like about hacker is the breaks. But I dial that down with 3pk

[pcnutz]

also I can only gestimate top speed of 35-40, but I do like the acceleration the most

[Sylvester]

Well, not all systems are gonna run smoothly, but i dont know why it accels at varoius times?

[Sylvester]

35-40, sounds good to me:)

[pcnutz]

well I guess I better wait till I hear from people that run the xL motors. I already seen a few people pawn off thier 7xl, seems like a hot motor of that size, but I do not know. I want to play with xl stuff, but not pop my controllers

[Sylvester]

Yea, ask coolhandcountry, hes played around with TONS of motors.
