Motor was about $800, ESC $100, Batteries $200, Piece of aluminum $12.... Red Cat roller with Gas engine $550. Subtract $250 for the sale of engine and pipe..

You might have to get some metal gears for this monster. I like how it has the power to pop a wheelie even though you're still using the conservative winding.

I know, I'm almost scared to change it to the higher Amp winding... it has so much more potential... I will order the metal gears for sure.. I saw the set of 4 Gears for $64 ...

very cool vids aqwut. dude, i saw that the lehner 3080 is capable of 11000 watts. thats nucking futz!. i am worried now that my 2215 isnt going to be enough and run too hot. i am looking at getting a 2230 maybe or a lehner 3060. the 30 series motor fits my motor mount perfect so i can use either a neu or lehner but after reading about MBs motor failure on 8s i am worried whats gonna happen on 10s with the same kv and i have the lowest kv 2215 without a custom order. 11000 watts. thats like 15 hp or something crazy. no wonder those temps are so low. that motor isnt even having to try to pull that thing around. we'll see what my 2215 does but i have a feeling i will be upgrading very soon.

Dude, I think you're 2230 would be awesome in that truck... but I don't think the 2215 would have any problems either... Lehner use to put out Excel sheets for their motor data, but they don't have it on the site anymore.. Luckily I downloaded it soon as the 3080 came out.... So it shows all the max continuous current that could go through the motor...

My current setup is the star connection, and is capable of 200Amps and 50K rpm... On the triangle setup it's capable of 300Amps and 50K rpm..

So you have the 2215 3Y 480KV, 5000Watts Max @ 72 Volts = Maximum discharge would be about 70 Amps... so if you run 12S, the maximum power you could achieve would be 3100 Watts Peak.. so you really won't need a super expensive ESC.. You figure, my Rampage MT would be pulling Peak of 100Amps... I have not seen it hit that high yet with this setup... I always like going a bit bigger with motor size, just because it has so much more torque on lower KV... which in turns, gives you more voltage and gearing options... I think your 2215 would be fine.. What Wind did MB get for this Baja5B...?
