Project: E-Mugen MBX5-T

[Steve Krug]

Wow i just can't create a realiable setup can I?


After running a pack thru the mugen, i temp'd the motor and it read 209F...(feigao 8XL) Speedo was 143F, Lipo was 99F...

I thought that was way too hot for a motor of any type...and it was. I don't even know why it heat up so much since i'm geared real conservatively..13/46

I tried running it again yesterday, and the motor won't even spool up! It won't even move on the pavement. If I lift it off the ground and spin the tires, it cogs insanely and i'll guess the motor only pushs out 3000rpm on the 4S lipo. Is the 8XL TRASHED ALREADY?? I've run maybe 8 packs through it.

The wires are soldered perfectly....all connections are good...

I just don't think i'll be able to continue this project as it is going, i may have to abandon it. I don't have 100 bucks to drop down on another part, not to mention I still saved $200 for a MMM that I still cannot get my hands on before school starts.

Hey I sent mike an e-mail about the failed motor about 2 1/2 weeks ago and i still have no reply

....I just need a motor to run.

I was so close to purchasing a 1512 motor from mikes store, but I realized, i'm going to be blowing $250 on just the motor, when I still need the MMM, expecially when the combo (when it comes out) is under $300.

OR if anybody has a good MMM Or Neu setup to sell i'd jump on that deal...

But anyways I still need that 8XL replacement...How can i contact mike??
