Ideas for a BL CRT.5

[crazyjr]

I am probably going to start with the basic XL1200/quark 80 and my 5s 2500 lipo. I know that that sounds a bit too much, but i can gear to what i want speed wise and it will not get hot. With this setup, I can run about 30 minutes to 40 minutes, in my E-GT between charges (I really don't know, because i get bored before it runs out)

The 1920 is a pretty small motor too, its quite a bit smaller than the 380C/L I pulled out. Lots o power tho. :)

I have a 10 turn (3135kv) I think I'm going to move it to my new CRT .5. Did some spd runs the other day w/ my heavy beefed up Rustler to test it and it was doing 53 on the radar with M2Ks on, and w/ me letting off the gas to pull the radar gun out. I wasn't even overgearing it @20/87. Dead cold as well. Think I was hitting ~55, but the day ended early when I hit WOT too early and backflipped it @ ~40mph. Oh well, that tranny case was getting loose anyway.

I'm also thinking about using 4S A123 as a saddle pack in the rear, or else getting a 3S 2500 Neu pack for it (maybe still too fast tho.) The 5s is a pretty chunky pack, and quite a bit heavier than my 4S A123s would be. At the very worst the LMT can be rewired as a 17T ~1800kv motor. I initially planed to use my 4S 3200 pack in it, but once I put it upto the chassis I realized just how big a batt it is.

I think you could cut the battery down quite a bit and run a little higher kv for some weight savings, unless you are looking for really long runs. Saves a Ubec too. What about a smaller quark as well?

Hey Crazy, I have run a similar sytem in my LS10 for a while. I have a maxamps 3000 5s pack and a quark 65 roadster. I am using a hacker c50 13l motor, but have a 15l to swap into it. Tons of power and great runtimes and cool equipment! Hv setups are the way to go. I could almost go down to a 2100 5s pack, or go up to 6s and gear it way down. I am slowly try to chane over to 5s and up as the benifit is very noticeable. Pack size and weight do become an issue, but there are quite a few small cells with good dimensions that can be use, plus you can always break up the pack and place them in different locations on the chassis. The crt.5 does not have much real estate, but I am sure that you can find a way!
