Me and My Axi-Maxx Video's!

[lincpimp]

I bought a pair of them last night, so i will try them too. Could not pass up the deal, even if they go in a pede!, or see use as a brake servo!

Hopefully though you will get genuine MG995s and not some rebadged junk like I did (which I ended up reselling for a small profit, thankfully).

These must've been what I ended up with - it's been so long I can't remember now

Your symptoms sounded just like mine- I was bitterly dissappointed too. Hopefully Sikes will be the real deal though- different case design sounds promising at least.

I got the Servo's in today!!!

Got them installed and am topping off my Lipo's now.

I set the truck down on the carpet, they will quickly turn stop to stop with no hesitation. Much stronger than the stock ones!

I don't sense any jitter at all.

Looks good so far.

I'll run it in a few minutes. That will be the true test.

These Servo's are GREAT!

I detect no jitter. They are MUCH more powerful AND faster than the stock ones.

I rate them a 10 on the "money well spent" scale.

I'll probably be getting some more soon.

Let us know what you think Linc. Like I said, I don't have any experience comparing servos really. But I can't imagine those $100 each servo's being much better than these. Very satisfied here !

I've got six of these, you can't get better servos for this price. Two of them are running on 7V for over 3 months, they are still working well, have got tons of torque and are fast.

I have 2 on the way and now to sell my water proof ones and buy some more

I just got done with installing these servos and they are great.......on the carpet stand still they turn stop to stop great........you can see the chassis flex some from the torque

I just took my Revo out for a drive. These servo's kinda have me spoiled from running them in the E maxx. I'm gonna get a pair for the Revo too.

They do make a big difference.

just wondering what kinda speeds u think u are getting with the 2826/8?

im thinking about trying them out on my emaxx. cause at work i get the kms ones but the same rating for cheap.

Here is my current setup plugged into Brian's speed calculator. It seems like it's alot faster I think. But maybe it's because it accelerates very hard and tops out quickly.

It is a really fun setup.

Differential Ratio: 2.8461538461538462
Transmission Ratio: 1.84
Other Ratio: 1
Spur Tooth Count: 40
Pinion Tooth Count: 22
Total Voltage: 14.8
Motor KV: 1130
Tire Diameter (inches): 5.75
Tire Ballooning (inches): 0
Motor Current Draw: 0
Motor coil Ω: 0
Spur/Pinion Ratio: 1.82 : 1
Total Ratio: 9.52168 : 1
Tire Circumference (inches): 18.06 inches (458.83 mm)
Total Motor Speed: 16724 RPM
Vehicle Speed: 30.05 mph (48.26 km/h)
Effective Speed Rate: 2.03 mph/V (3.26 kmh/V)
Estimated Adjusted Speed: 29 mph (46 km/h) - 4% loss
Effective KV Value: 1130

As you can see from the pictures earlier in this thread, it is a rather small motor. At only 36mm x 54mm, it's putting out some power.

AXI quality is hard to beat IMO. They use some of the strongest Neo Magnets around.

If you use a cheaper outrunner, it may not perform so well.

The AXI first appealed to me because of the optional cooling fan to help control motor temps.

I tried this on 5S and it just screams, but it was on the verge of overheating the motor even with the fan.

I think I found one of the KMS motors in this size: http://www.hobbypeople.net/gallery/108512.asp

Are there other turns available? I also wonder if the AXI fan would fit this?

Heres the 04 motor like the 06you linked to. 1000kv!

Half the price of the axi. wonder if it is any good. You gonna buy one sike?

I might! hehehhe

Something that makes me wonder here, in comparing the turn count to the AXI, these are ratings are just about the same for half the turns. I wonder if this KMS motor is a Wye wind?

THAT would make it even better IMO. It would be especially nice if the fan will fit. Does it have the 3 screw holes in the endbell?

1090kv! Every little bit counts. LOL

I would like to get one, install it and compare.

yah those are the motors but i well be using a 2826/04. i get them for like 40$ and if they ever go out i can just defect it out lol and get my money back or get another one haha. (good thing about working at a hobby shop and your boss is really cool)

Hey that is a pretty good deal!

Can you get me a good price on one too? I wouldn't be looking for a warranty or anything. LOL

Got any pictures of the butt end of the rotating can of this motor?
