Hi.

FYI got on IM with someone today... don't want to confirm where in case I get them into trouble...

The VXL motor is made my Feigao but not the ESC...

Just for FYI....

Thats interesting...Glad to see Traxxas is making there own ESC's. The more companies that make em, the cheaper. Its good to know that the motors are Feigao as well. At least we know the quality...

I figured that the motor was nothing special. It gets really hot when you push it.

I never seen a fegaio motor with a solder plate, but it runs like a fegaio, kind of a power hog. Mine pulls 700 watts on my SRT on 2s lipo

I wonder how the VXL controller would run with a Neu motor.

I think that the esc is the reason that the system is power hungry, my esc ran just as hot as the motor. If it is a feigao, it would be a 10s motor. At least the end caps are held on with screws!

anyone ever have tried this?

Supposedly the vxl does not like neu motors, or novak with the sensor cable attached, or not. Not sure that it is the do-all esc that traxxas would like us to think...

I like my rusty with vxl controller but it melted down with a higher kv motor 2pole....i put a MM and its running very good.....but i have ordered my new vxl.....its seems now it was a waste of money and time.....

I know that there are quite a few people having fun with the VXLs, but I only kept mine for a few days. Everytime I tried to run it through the wringer, it got way too hot. I gave mine away to a kid that will never run anything more than a six cell pack through it.

Feigao does not make the velineon 3500 for traxxas. I 100% guarantee it. All this stuff is just rumors and is not true. Traxxas either has a small company that makes it for them or they make it for themselves.

Please post some facts to back up that assertion, otherwise your post is nothing more than a rumor too.

Takedown please clarify - It was Feigao themselves that told me they do make it! :)

This is only what Ive heard directly from traxxas themselves and from many others. People say that feigao makes 99% of all cheap budget brushless motors out there when in reality its just not true. Why pay a company when you can make your own and sell it for the same price and make much more. After all brushless motors arent hard to make, the only thing that is difficult about making a brushless motor is tunign and tweking it so that it preforms at its best potential. Traxxas has definately gone threw this process and has had a breakthrew. Im betting anyone that feigao doesnt make it because the facts just dont add up IMO. I may be wrong but I doubt it...

Faigao probably does

They have motors with solder plates, as thats who makes the orion, peak etc motors, so taking the sensor out is about all the would have to do, and its a VXL

And I remember the VXL has a different rotor then the MM, I think it was longer, or bigger? Like a S can feigao?
