MRC Baja King what bl setup should i use?

[Thunderbruiser]

I have a nice MRC baja king that i want to setup for bl and am going to run 12 cells.....i was wondering what would be a good motor i want a mix of torque and speed but don't wanna kill the tranny lol....I was looking a feiago 8l or so....lmk guys thanks

Welcome to the forums, Thunderbruiser. The baja king will work quite well with the 8L, 9L, 10L or even the 7xl motors. I think I would use a 9L myself. It offers a nice balance of power and runtime.

[Thunderbruiser]

thanks,
and the 9L is ok on 12 cells? cause that's what is gonna be my main power source

[nitrostarter]

Sure! The 9L is great on 12-14 cells.

[RC-Monster Mike]

You will be pleased with the performance.

[Thunderbruiser]

cool you guys have ebay auctions correct? cause if so i'll prolly pick one up from ebay in about a week or so...also would the schulze 18.61 i believe it's called be a good speedo or should i got for an mgm?

Hi

for the 9L I would strongly suggest a BK Warrior 9920. They are currently out of stock, but Mike will get them in.
They have a nice price tag and can take a beating.

[Thunderbruiser]

thanks

[RC-Monster Mike]

The warriors should be in stock by the middle of next week! Finally!
Yes, there is also an E-Bay store - RC-Monster Hobbies

[Thunderbruiser]

would this be ok? i only won it cause it's cheap and have heard good things in the past about them....this will be used until i get the proper setup with warrior bk

[RC-Monster Mike]

Not for th thunder king! Simply not enough and would probably blow up in no time.

here are the stats....and um really? why the truck is just too big or what?

are any of those stats good?

[RC-Monster Mike]

The truck is too big. Those specs suggest that it is most efficient at 10 amps, which is not even close to what you need. 12 cells times 10 amps is similar power to a 27 turn stock motor, which will be a slug in your big truck.

haha so i need a more powerful draw motor that sucks....so i basically wasted $80 some buck i;'ll just relist it after receiveing
