need to go slower to go faster??

gearing down does not help the runtimes at all it actually shortens them cause im using more juice and full throttle punches rather than 3/4 throttle punches......

and yes at the batts limits and i dunno if id dare run them in a truggy, they arent the best batteries by a long shot but they are very good for the money and people around here are more inticed to convert some of their buggies if they can get a decent priced setup. mine runs great i have no real complaints, my temps are great, its tough as nails and i love it, but im nit picky and ive got till december and then till next year to do anything and every thing to make it as bullet proof and as good as possible.


hmm i was looking at the Hacker 14L motor specs state it as a 35 amp motor and 50 amp peak that would be ALOT of difference over my 80amp 1515....... ut somethng tells me those spec arent exactly right but can anyone chime in?

on the first thing, yes and no. Yes, in that gearing down, you will spend more time at max RPM, but there is really not much load at max (should be at top speed) to gear up and limit the time at top speed, that should be more load. I could be wrong, but that's how i see it.

On the amps on the 14L and the neu, I think thats air load. Both are plane and heli motors first and thats how they are tested. Cars load motors a bit different, the spikes are stronger to overcome mass and friction on the ground
