cart213 · **What's your brushless street cred? -** 11.09.2006, 08:50 PM

This forum has lots of brushless experts with years of experience with multiple vehicles. I'm wondering what brushless setups everyone owns now and has owned in the past. I'll go first with what I've owned in chronological order.

Stampede: Novak GTB5.5 (sold, first brushless system)

Stampede (same one): Mtroniks Truck and Feigao 540 12S (sold the truck and motor)

HPI MT2: Mtroniks Truck and Feigao 540C 9L (sold the truck and motor)

RC18T: Tekin Mini Rage 6.8kv (sold)

Thunder Tiger ST-1: Quark 125B and Neu 1512/2.5D/f (sold the Quark)

Thunder Tiger ST-1: Mamba Max and Neu 1512/2.5D/f (currently own)

I've also used and sold a couple of Mamba 8000 motors and bought but never used a Feigao 9L.

Do the brushless servo systems I design and work on at work count too? :)

Rustler - First was a Feigao 8L and 9920, then a Feigao 12s and MGM 12012 now a Mamba Max 4600, all setups on 4s Lipo except the 8L/9920, which was on 12 cells

XTM X-Terminator - Feigao 8L and 9920, then Feigao 540C 9L and Mtroniks Truck, now Feigao 540C 9L and Mamba Max (all on 4s Lipo)

First brushless was RC18MT with Mamba 8000, TP 2s lipo. Kept that one for about 10 minutes. Went back to nitro and now the proud owner of a BPP LSP with Quark 125b/Neu 1515 1y, and 4S lipo. I still have a few nitros in my stable but will be converting those soon.

Then got an ss5800 in a T4
Then bought a Mamba Max 5700 for T3
Then got a few motors and a mgm 16024 from a friend( haven't used them yet
now playing with a Mamba Max/9XL in the G2R
Just bought three ss5800's from a dying hobbyshop, at a serious cut for the owner. I'll never go brushed again

I'm old as dirt, I had to look up "street cred" in my urban slang dictionary! I'm 42 and I have my first BL truck with a full Gorilla setup, UE diffs, CVD's and Supershocks. Running the show is a Quark 125 with a 7XL Feigao. Better late in life than never!

Ok, I don't feel so bad now at 33 years old. I'd probably still just have my first truck if they weren't so darn fun and challenging to build! :)

LOL! I'm 30 and just trying to sound cool! :cool:

Promod, 10~15 e-maxxes, plus all the others? WOW! I just got into the hobby about 1.5 years ago when I saw my friend's Stampede. As soon as I saw it I had to get one myself. I think that Stampedes and Rustlers are gateway drugs!
