I can see how you think we're talking about a 1/8th buggy to put this much power in. But... er, its intended for a 1/10th E-maxx, or should i say UeG-maxx

with the 1527/1D (2300kv) the theoretical motor rpms on 6s will be 51060. Is that too high? Will it lead to heating issues? I doubt it will even be able to reach max rpms without flipping or breaking something though...

I'm happy with below 40K rpm and when I brought my truck from 6S down to 5S, the motor actually pulled less AMPs. When I tried the motor with 10S, it pulled 169A. I ran it for over 8 minutes with 10S and the ESC wasn't hot, but the motor got a little hot, but not too hot that it would burn my finger. I would choose one of the following for 6S:

1527/1.5D 1500Kv
1521/1Y 1577Kv

so im looking at ESC's that would be able to handle this setup, and the MGM 22418 will do the trick.

Any thoughts on the CC Hydra 240, upto 240 amps and 6s lipo? Would it work in a truck even though its a marine ESC?

What about the CC Phoenix-180, or on the Neu website, the Castle Creations Super 180 F5B controller. 180 amps constant and upto 6s lipo.

I'm not too sure how these would work, as one is for marine, and one for planes. Has anyone had experience using these types of controllers on a truck? Would i lose brakes and reverse?

thanks
