sounds fun

forgot to say im looking for 40-50mph(nitro speeds) from it and would like to be able to gear it and run fine on grass(short), dirt and tarmac without overheating

also does anyone know where i can find the manual for a hyperion EOS0606i charger? just got one 2nd hand but its been sent with the wrong manual

If you haven't driven it yet, I suggest you do so before you decide you want that kind of speed out of it. While it would be fun to drive in a straight line at 40-50mph, it will not handle high speed gracefully as it has a high center of gravity and tends to traction roll quite easily. You may find yourself running after it quite often to put it back on its wheels at those speeds.

Well so does a Rustler so nothing new there

Consider Medusa MR-036-050-3300V2-3F. It should be enough for 2WD.

I had one in a pede on 3s. It's great!

i was thinking the same, looking at the pictures of it i think the fins only cover half of the motor can so it might be alright
rootar did you run the clamp on it in a slash/rustler/pede?

[rootar]

you have to shave the fins down to fit inside the plastic housing its a tight fit but it works, and easier and better solution would be a FLM tranny case one of these days ill get one for my slash. i switched to mod1 gearing and can run 40/12 through 40/17 i usually run a 40/14 which is silly silly fast.

It's quite a bit worse than a Rustler in terms of CG and traction rolling. I've got both and my Slash is on it's lid far more often with my moderately powered BL setup.

[Superbasher]

Fair enough, I just thought they were similair in terms of C of G.

[rcsammy]

iv run quite a few packs through it and yes it does roll alot easier than the rustler but you get used to the handling after a while and can easily drive it without rolling
i deffinatly want to get brushless

im still leaning towards the mamba 5700 at the moment though, mostly because its waterproof which means i can go to the track and it doesnt matter if theres puddles or its raining

edit: and thanks for the link to the manual :)

You can run the 5700 in there, but the 4600 motor is a little better suited for it IMO. It'll run in the low-mid 30mph range on 2S and if you want more speed, just drop in a 3S lipo.
