MMM V3 - First Run Opinions

[hootie7159]

yeah just shoot an email to castle creations...i emailed them and Joe Ford got back to me ASAP and 3 days later I got 3 fans and I only asked for 2...great/fast service.....by the way I ran my V1 and V2 without the CC BEC and with the update and both are working perfectly!!!!.....Now to fix my rear diff case and rear hub carriers after hitting a jump at 45+ and not landing on my wheels.......Novak/MGM/Losi/Tekin who?????

....There it goes.....I probably just jinxed everyone and their MMM's.....my bad :)

I was wondering if I could run the Monster on the LST2 with the 1527 1D 2300 kv and a 6S? Do you think the ESC will be able to supply the current that the bigger Neumotor? Thanks, I just wanted to keep my V3 running and not overworked it beyond what is's rated.

As mentioned 2300 kv is quite a bit too high for 6s. Many of us would much rather choose a kb around 1300-1600 for 6s, especially in a heavier truck like that. That will help keep the temps of the motor, ESC, and batts in a more reasonable range.

I actually ran it with the 5S and with a +4 pinion gear the motor never got hotter than 130 and then with watercooling my temps never get past 100 degrees. I am running a MMM on my Hyper 7 with 20 tooth pinion , a 4S 6k polyrc batts, 1515 1.5D Neu and it is a monster. I put an external fan on top of the Neu and the motor never got hot so I would like to try it out but afraid to mess up the ESC since I just received it.And yes I wasn't expecting a warm welcome on my new post.

i was pointing out in a jokingly way not to get any more maxamps packs. its clear from the real graphs compared to other cells (kokam, enderland, Flight Power ETC) that they arent worth the money.

i was also pointing out as others have said, it will draw alot of amps! but dindt mean to offend you, and welcome :)

Add me to the list of people that say that's too high of KV. That being said, if you can get batteries that can power that beast of a motor the ESC SHOULD handle it but you're going to pull a lot of amps. If you are set on getting the 1527 I won't try to stop you, but I believe it is too much. A 1521 will keep the front wheels in the air and have plenty of power. I would worry about destroying drivetrain parts (stripping ring and pinion gears, snapping drive pins, etc.), but if you want the 1527 that's cool and by all means go for it...just don't complain about it when you tear the truck apart.

7s2p A123 on a 1500KV 1.5D or a 1250KV 1Y should be good for that setup. I'd go for the 1Y myself, they are a more efficient wind. 2s A123 packs should be able to provide more than 200 amps burst.

I got a little defensive there but it's all good now. I do know that it was waaayy overkill for the 1527 1D on the Lst2 since I tried it out and my
truck was just all over the place but I did some changes to the suspension
and maybe it will work better. Thanks for the warm welcome.
