New Slash 4x4 PE build w/ pics. Questions.

[Bondonutz]

The 1590 2Y 1820kv is geared 54/18 and is a ice cold running ROCKET !

If the track or if you bash and the surface is really rough and choppy/large jumps the Losi shocks really shine. If it's a pretty smooth track or you bash on concrete you'll find it hard to notice a difference.

PE 1509 2Y


Almost a PE, w/1509 2Y

those look great Bondonutz. thanks for feedback. i just wanted to know what type of difference there is before i drop $100. thats why i held off on the powerstroke shocks too. pricey for little shocks. i will be doing a little bashing and mostly racing.

i am surprised at the speed you get with 1820kv. thats barely 20k rpm. i should have gone down in kv. i figured the 2700kv puts me in the low 30k rpm range and i would be good so that is what i went with. i am sure it will be fast as hell.

Yeah, kinda threw me for a loop myself. I bought one of those motors from NEU's web special 4-5 months ago for 110.00 and decided to try it in a 4wd Slash and wadda ya know ? Despite Brians calc the RPMs have to be higher for it to run so cool ? IDK everything about all the the little details but it works especially well for the application. Enough so, that I bought another motor last week for the other Slash to replace a 1512 I had in it. After 5 hrs hours or so of brutal driving in todays heat of 91 today in Fl, the motor was barely 100degrees, ESC fan NOT on (M.M.M.) and the Lipo was 98dgerees (MA & Zippy 30C 3s 5Kmah) I ran 4 packs through one truck and 3 in the other to LVC and temps were the same across the board. Couldn't ask for more ?
I'm gonna put that 1512 1700kv in my Ebuggy and try it on 5s now !?
