6S CRT.5 Neu motor question

[VintageMA]

Here ya go. Snapped a few with Anaconda's on Traxxas 2.8 rims. I don't like them as much as the Proline 30's with the Jato offset, but it was raining today and I couldn't run on the grass so I had to put a good parking lot tire on.

Looks good, do you really need the fan on the motor?

Probably not anymore - but it can't hurt, right? I only threw he fan on the MM recently to make sure the MM would be happpy with 4S running through it. Maybe I'll try doing some runs with the fans unplugged and see how the temps on the motor and esc are.

But, like I just posted in another thread. I ran my XB8EC on 5S for the first time on a MM and w/fan the temps never got over 130* putting out a max of 1250watts - not sure right now why I preordered a MMM at the moment ;)

I really can't wait to see what the caps on the MMM are rated at, then we'll know if we can push them to 8S.

I have a MMM coming and plan to give it a try on 6s in my hyper st truggy. Will be spinning a 10xl for now as it was super cheap! I may step up to a 1515 2.5d if the 10xl does not work out.

I am interested to see how my 8s 14xl savage will compare to the 6s 10xl hyper truggy. I have had excellent success with the 8s setup, the 14xl does not get much over 150 in that truck, with hardly any airflow over it. Hope the 10xl will be as good. The hyper should be lighter when assembled than the savage, the battery is and the truck should be too.

It would be nice if the MMM will work on 8s, but then you will have to run an external bec, which is one of my favorite parts of the MMM. Imagine how neat the wiring wil look with the MMM!

Just a quick update on the results of this test:
Got a chance to run the CRT.5 with the TP2600 pak for the first time. It was kinda drizzling outside so was running a lot of wet grass so that gave a bit of rsistance, but I was very excited about the fact that with the left and right side of the buggy almost completely balanced within about 20 grams the buggy tracked prfectly straight accelerating and braking hard - no more pulling to the left or right because of a neavhy battery pack. With the lighter pack buggy weight was almost .25 lbs lighter - max Amp draw dropped to 53 Amps.

I think because of the think wet grass overall amp draw was up a bit so runtime was a bit shorter - only 9 minutes running very hard.

I'll have to try the exact same setup I did with the 4000mAh pack over the weekend and see what runtime is like.
