7700kv Mamba motor too much for a crt .5?

[Big House]

A MM 7700 is best in lightweight on road cars. Heavy off-roaders will kill it, your drive train and your batteries.

I just finished a Crt. 5 conversion and I went with a Feigao 9 L work great.

You can check out the build here.

Thanks for the build link Chip. Looks good! Love the body.

It seems like most are running 3s on their Crts. Anyone run one on 2s with a higher KV motor? The Medusa 4800kv 50mm maybe?

I'm running that motor on 2s and love it! Plenty of power and speed. I'm usung a MA 6Ah pack and getting 20minutes of high speed runs without a problem. If you want to try running 2s in a crt.5 this is the motor to go with! If you want to run 3s I would say the 3300kv(?) Medusa. For the little bit extra they cost I beleive they are far superior to any Feigao motor or the VXL motors. I was considering the 4600 CC motor when doing this build but was cautioned against it, would run hot no matter how I geared it I was told. Bought the Medusa and I'm very glad I did!

Good to hear its the way to go, thanks guys. What gearing are you running? The trick is finding one in stock now. :)
