BL savage info? newb to large brushless

[savagehaley14]

im gonna say no where its only rated at 12 cells maybe if you use fans but im not sure

[savagehaley14]

also how fast will my savage be with the 14 cells and 8xl

[savagehaley14]

does the bk warrior 9920 have a built in ubec(voltage regulator)

[BrianG]

Yes, it does, but is linear. Anything over 2s/6cells, use a UBEC. Some will say 3s/9cells is ok, but I wouldn't...

[Serum]

You are better off with a separate UBEC.

so then the mamaba isnt a good idea with 14 cells dang it. cuz i have heard that the mamba is superior to the bk or are those false words? man then i can only run twelve cells? well i gues i will see if i can gear down a bit then.

[BrianG]

14 cells is starting to push it a little voltage-wise, but should run ok. But, you HAVE to disable the built-in BEC and use a switching BEC instead.

well i was planning to get a UBEC because of the simplicity of it and less running hardware and i know that i do have to chop the red wire from the esc connecter that goes to the rx? other then that should i put a fan on it? to kep it cooler? well thanx alot brianG yopu have helped me get over this lettle "bump"as you say.

well a charger i would buy and am going to buy is the super brain 989. it charges 1-8 lipo but you need the balancer and 1-25 nimh/nicad cells and it cost 132.99 and has a whole mess more featuresas well like a ten amp power supply to name one. go check it out at towerhobbies.com you can also find other chargers that you might like.

[savagehaley14]

i was thinking the 989 too just wondering if anyones had any experience with anything thanks for the help evryone so far

[savagehaley14]

what mAh rating should i use and does anyone have any battery recomendations

you can get some ib 4200 7 cells from spec point batteries for 115.95 and there matched and look really nice plus i ordered a set for my maxx and lots of people say they are awsome, but if you ask some one else they might tell you to go lipo with maybe a 5s with 8000mah due to the weight reduction and higher power.
