Mamba max getting HOT fast!

[rootar]

I thought in another thread you said you tryed the ammo motors and they werent up to spec, and that you had to gear down alot or they got really hot......i dont want to down grade from a feiago, plus i dont know if the mount pattern is the same. Im gonna call mike and offshore electrics and see when is the soonest they will be getting some 9Ls instock.

im looking at the chart here and
9L= 2731 KV this puts me right at 33,000-35,000 rpms
all the ones near that are
6XL = 2779
7XL = 2382
10L = 2458
12s = 2958
13s = 2730


the XLs and S cans are the only ones instock so if they are not getting any L cans motors soon what would be my best bet, i assume the S cans would run much hotter than an L or XL because itd have to work harder in truck, so is an xl motor of the same KV like the 6XL over kill for a 5 pound truck?

Has anyone else tried an XL in a lightweight, how did it do?

When I tried the ammo motor, my gearing was too tall. I had the emaxx setup for an align 600xl 1650kv and used the same gearing for the 1800 ammo motor. Plus the emaxx is way heavier than the ls10 so it put a higher strain on the motor. I have recently heard other users with more runtime have good success with the ammo motors. I just used the wrong motor and gearing for my application. I am still learning, seems like the lower cost motors are more sensitive to gearing than the high end stuff.
