Yep but a bit expensive for me thanks :)

Also, have you seen my E-Revo? I'm gonna try and snap some more pictures soon. It's rather different now.

Look at this! This thread has more than 10'000 hits! :)
And the good old truck is still going strong! When I look at it now it seems obsolete and like a hack job, all beaten up, nothing with what I would show up at a track, but it does a great job as basher. We bash it really hard.

Thank all of you who posted here.

That is cause it was an awesome job of building the first time.
Don't worry daniel. It is character on the truck. Not beat up.

Dafni, Now that you've had some time to play with it. I have a quick question.

I'm looking for a semi cheap motor for a truck similar to yours. I have a warrior 9920 esc so I'd like it to work with that controller.

High run times are a must. Nothing to fast, around 35-40 if possible.

LMK what you have in mind. Thanks a bunch!

If your looking for 30-40 minute run times, go with a 8000mah lipo's. I usually get bored after 40 minutes and they're still at 7.4V per pack. You could do the 4000's or 6000's if you want less weight.

[Rcbros]

I'll be going lipos but I need to know what motor.

how long would you assume the 6000's last?

bluonyx- what motor you running? is it a g2r or custom?

I tried the 9920 with a 10XL setup, but ended up with a HV 4.5 System. I love there customer service and support. And don't have to wait forever if I need servicing. Here's my G2R setup: (ignore the tire direction, I was in a hurry to take the pic)



I've since replaced the bats with the lipos and added the spektrum telemetry kit for temp and voltage monitoring.

On 6000 mah lipo 4s. I get about 40 to 60 mins of run. Depends on how hard i run it.

[neweuser]

wow CHC, how are you accomplishing the run times? i run 8000mah on a 9xl, and get about 30-40min of run time on 5s, but they only have three runs on them...

[coolhandcountry]

Not sure. I was getting 20 to 30 with 3800 6s on that same motor. Are you sure you getting a full charge on batts.

[neweuser]

I'm pretty sure. need to check the status on the batts. but i also run pretty fast across the fields i drive in...

[Rcbros]

Great suggestions on batts. But how about a motor? Something in the XL series please.

9XL or 10XL? whats the difference?

they have different KV ratings 1667 for the 9xl and 1502 for the 10xl (i think).

in my e-maxx i run a 9xl on 16 cells and i am soon to get 5s lipos too. speed and power is really insane. geared 18 51, 14.6 wheel base and it still does wheelies..............

[neweuser]

Cemetery is correct. The 9xl will run a tad warmer than the 10xl. i run 5s lipo on my 9xl. It's pretty quick, would call it that insane, but quick. i have mine geared 16/51 on 5s. May try the 18 soon to see how hot she gets..:)
