12 cell Rustler

[James]

I have a thread started, but im onto a different topic now. Heres a link to a video GO TO POST #49 http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/showt...t=30603&page=2 How can I get a rustler going that fast with 12 cells, and as much torque for no more that $300 (I would use it for sand only). I already know I want the MGM 120, but what motor? Someone told me the 8L is to big, and powerful for a rustler. Would the 4300 work? Will it get going 50-55 mph, and have alot of torque? can it handle the cells? I will go to $350

Yeah, I remember that thread. Check out post #33 :D.

Well, that motor would rip your rusty to peices, but the rustler's drivetrain is a weak design anyway.

Other than that, that would be the system to get. (8L and MGM 120)

Maybe if you sold your rusty for something like an associated T2 (like Ryan's) or even a T3, then you could do it. Other wise, you'd have to spend at least $100 beefing up the rusty.

lehner 4200 can handle 14.4v, but probably wont last too long.

how about a nemisis/fiego 12s on 14.4v+ that is what i have in my rustler buggy thing, havent got to run it yet though?

i think he settled on a basic 3100 on 12 cells.

[MetalMan]

That should work pretty well, however I'll second the 12s.

Where can i find a fiegao 12s? On 12 cells would the fiegao be faster, and have more torque than the lehner 3100?

Isnt that Associated truck like $300? You know the guy driving the truck in the video? I dont have a rustler et, so i wouldnt have to sell anything, but what would i have to beef up in the rustler? What motor is that in the movie?

well.... for the stampede/rustler transmission to be bulletproof you want:

1. coldfusion SS diff gear $65
2. aluminum idler $13
3. steel top gear (already available to you).
4. FLM aluminum gearcase $65 (this keeps things tight, and acts as giant heatsink).
5. ball bearings throughout transmission.
6. steel output yokes or CVD's.
7. slipper pegs (not balls).
8. lithium grease (generous amount throughout transmission).

basically you are looking at a $200+ transmission to be completely bulletproof.

i have this setup in 2x of my rustlers, and 2x stampedes without the FLM case. you do notice quite a difference in noise with the FLM case - they are much quiter.

I'll second this list as well. These are the same parts I have in the tranny of my full FLM Pede:

I guess it will be cheaper to get a associated truck. Is a associated truck stronger than the rustler? I could only find the RC10T4. Is hte tranny strong enough in that truck for a feigao 8L on 12 cells? How much faster is a Feigao 8L on 12 cells than a Lehner 3100 on 12 cells.

[James]

Whats the difference between the RC10T4 factory team truck, and the Regular RC10T4? Which should i get. I know where to get the Factory team for $199, and the regular one for $159.

Here's a comparison table:

[coolhandcountry]

I have a xl 3100 in the pede now but have not ran over 7 cells .

[James]

What speeds would i get out of this set up? Also would it have alot of power?

- Team associated RC10T4 Factory truck (Ultimate Hobbies) = $200
- 2x GP3700 6 Cell battery packs (Off shore electrics) = $90
- MGM 120 Controller (RC Monster) = $220
- Feigao 540 12s (Off Shore Electrics) = $70
TOTAL = $580

You could go cheaper and use the MGM Compro 8012, the 12012 is overkill. Depending on the gearing, you can expect 50mph for sure in a straight line. In a 2wd 1/10 stadium truck, speeds higher than that are just stupid! I've hit 57.6mph on 4s Lipo with this motor in my Rustler, and could hit higher if I have better range.
