my mugen mbx5t build

Those tires are great all around tires...wear like iron too. I had a set on my maxx awhile back and loved them.

Yeah they where pretty awesome in the slush and snow we had and did fairly well in my gravel driveway. I think i have decided on getting a 4 pole leopard 4082. Don't get me wrong i love castle stuff and run it in all my brushless stuff, but it's hard to find a comparable motor to the 1518 or 1520 without spending an arm and a leg for a used one!

What do u think? is the 4082 going to be overkill on 5 and 6s? or should i tone it down to a 4074?

Well I finally found a 1520 for a really good price and was able to get it in this weekend. Right now I'm geared 14/46 which I feel is really slow! Temps where 118 after about 10mins, running maxx bowties and it was about 75 outside. So i feel I can gear up a bit for some more umph!

Maybe its me or just the center diff setup but I don't feel like this motor is a huge power house like everyone says? I'm running 10/30/15 in my Diffs and other one is running the same but with a xerun 42/74 2000kv system and it will wheelie all the time and feels super smooth.

How much voltage are you running?

On 4s my 2200kv mmm setup will almost wheelie. On 5 and 6 S it's all the time and too much power to handle except for speed runs.

Yeah I already shimmd my differentials right when i got it and inspected the gears.

Right now I'm running 5s, haven't tried running 6s yet. I got scared cuz my Mamba monster v3 stopped working. Found out the switch had broke so i just cut it off and soldered . Not ideal for me but oh well.
