You heard the man! Now buy an axi, and stop pissing in the wind!

I can safely say that rewinding a motor looks like a fun job, just not one that I would ever do. I have a feeling that if you step up to a better motor, you will see the increased power and effecientcy, and be very happy.

Takedown, are you sure that the motor is the limiting factor?

Since the battery only pushes 96amps, maybe ur Lead finger caused the motor to heat up?

Hey guys I have a new idea... What if I run dual smaller 42/50 600kv outrunners? They only draw 43a each continious and it seems like a smart idea. One motor for the front diffs and one for the rear diffs. I saw a buggy conversion on youtube like this and it had some real power with really small outrunners running each diff. If I went about doing this I would run it on one ESC on 5s lipo? Im guessing this isnt a very smart idea?

Another option of mine is to go with a smaller motor such as this- http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/s...idProduct=2101

Im guessing thats plenty of power on 5s lipo. And I know my hacker will be able to handle it. So is this the way to go?

you couldn't run this with one esc as the motors will get out of sync and the esc will toast.

I believe two motors / one esc has been done but with a transmission such as the emaxx so that the motors stay in the same orientation. Even then this is hard to do IMO as no two motors have identical kv's.

Nitro: I already tried that motor in my warhead and it didnt have enough power for me. I think the 50-65 350kv is the only way to go I guess...

Sounds like your batteries are too weak. You don't need a 2 pound motor.

Well i think I know what motor I have my mind set on now- http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/s...idProduct=4914

It has a good kv rating and looks pretty promising.

Is there any reason you do not want to buy the axi 4120 I linked to?

Price? Desire to keep HobbyCity in business, Had a bad childhood experience with an axi?

takedown, all this conversation leads me to beleive that u need more cells, think about it...
1st off more voltage will cut the amp draw of the batteries
2nd it will allow you to run your snail's pace Outrunner
3rd, it will be more efficient becuase the esc isnt heating up trying to draw 100a from a battery that cant handle it.
4th you will gain even more efficiency by not hauling around a 2 pound motor

hey lincpimp, hes not saving UH-I am! Im getting a 55-55b, 5s lipos, and a charger from them for my Raze! :P

I think I'll go for the Towerpro 64-63 259kv is what I'll get. If and when I get it and its to slow then Ill concider running more voltage.
