6S CRT.5 Neu motor question

[VintageMA]

I agree completely as I have moved towards trying to get batteries that balance out the motor side of my vehicles lately (at least to within 50grams) if possible.

Right now the receiver and MM are mounted dead center, so i don't count them. The motor (LMT1930 is 230grams) and servo is ~60 grams. So my weight for batteries is ~300grams to keep things mostly in balance.

That puts the exact cell you are talking about - Neu 30C 2500's at 278g right up there with the other ones I am looking at TP eXtreme V2 4S 25C 2600 a 277g. http://www.rctoys.com/rc-toys-and-pa...BATTERIES.html

Both look good, but is this new setup works I'll probably try out the TP packs as they are a little longer and it'll be easier to bias the front/rear weight distribution - and not quit as tall.

Weekend update - Finally got a chance to run the new setup today. Ran it for 11:45 min with a MaxAmps 4S 4000mAh pack (god I can't wait to get rid of all my MA's and replace them) and drained 2.17Ah from the pack with a max Amp pull of 62.56Amps (830 Watts). And I ran the car HARD!! Lot's of fast high speed runnig with gearing back up to 17/46.

That is excellent news - with the max amp draw where it was I should have no problem running the TP 2600mAh 4S packs (to lighten weight) and still get at ~15 minute runtimes.

Here ya go. Snapped a few with Anaconda's on Traxxas 2.8 rims. I don't like them as much as the Proline 30's with the Jato offset, but it was raining today and I couldn't run on the grass so I had to put a good parking lot tire on.

Looks good, do you really need the fan on the motor?

[VintageMA]

Probably not anymore - but it can't hurt, right? I only threw he fan on the MM recently to make sure the MM would be happpy with 4S running through it. Maybe I'll try doing some runs with the fans unplugged and see how the temps on the motor and esc are.

But, like I just posted in another thread. I ran my XB8EC on 5S for the first time on a MM and w/fan the temps never got over 130* putting out a max of 1250watts - not sure right now why I preordered a MMM at the moment ;)

I really can't wait to see what the caps on the MMM are rated at, then we'll know if we can push them to 8S.

I have a MMM coming and plan to give it a try on 6s in my hyper st truggy. Will be spinning a 10xl for now as it was super cheap! I may step up to a 1515 2.5d if the 10xl does not work out.

I am interested to see how my 8s 14xl savage will compare to the 6s 10xl hyper truggy. I have had excellent success with the 8s setup, the 14xl does not get much over 150 in that truck, with hardly any airflow over it. Hope the 10xl will be as good. The hyper should be lighter when assembled than the savage, the battery is and the truck should be too.

It would be nice if the MMM will work on 8s, but then you will have to run an external bec, which is one of my favorite parts of the MMM. Imagine how neat the wiring wil look with the MMM!
