slash... best motor?

[rcsammy]

ahh ok, that makes sence. i always thought that the motor ran cool on lower gearing because its not working as hard to move the car and that it ran hotter on higher gearing because its having to work more

unfortunatly the heatsink clamp is out of stock at the moment but im hoping it will be back by the time the zippy lipo's come back in stock

also have you got a link to a feigao 9L
i might buy it anyway but that one on hobbycity just seems too cheap, has anyone actualy ran that exact motor?

if you buy Zippys buy the R cells they are the only packs that have Korean cells I just recieved a 6s pack I have yet to run

the R packs use Korean cells which is where enerland cells are made, these are the highest quality packs you can buy..I am expecting a higher discharge rate than the 5000 packs and the run time difference will be minimal...and at the price they charge you could but a few

[rcsammy]

ok then, what runtime should i expect from one of those packs?

how long does it normaly take for mike to get parts back instock?

Impakt RC has the 9L in stock:

I have read that those hobbycity motors are going bad pretty fast. I would stick with a feigao. We know they are cheap but they work well. As for the lipo I would go truerc. They underrate their packs and you will get it in less than a week. The hobbycity orders are great but shipping can take a long time and thats if they have it in stock. No stock and it could be months and months before you see anything. My truerc packs never get warm under heavy load and I have been very impressed by them.

thanks killjoyken, i did find one on a site called offshoreelectrics, it was the same price but i have heard of impaktrc before so would rather buy from them

i was looking at the truerc packs, they are pretty well priced
3S 8000mah 15C=$150 10C=$110
or 3S 6400mah 15C $132

either one of those packs or 2 zippy R packs

[hemiblas]

I run the 8000mah 10C packs in my BL emaxx and they dont get 5 degrees above ambient temp while running. In my opinion they are overkill. The 15C packs are beyond overkill. I run a 4S 5000mah truerc pack in my bl buggy and its only 10C and doesnt break a sweat.
If this is for a slash, the 3S 5000mh pack would be more than enough.

[rcsammy]

i will go with a zippy R pack aslong as they are instock, it will cut the costs down a bit
maybe i will get a truerc pack or another zippy pack later on if i need one

what plugs will i need to order to get the feigao to connect to the mamba max? my MM is in for repairs and i dont know what size the bullet connectors are

the MMM comes with 6.5mm connectors but you will need to solder them on yourself, they do take a little more to solder them on than smaller connectors, I think you would be fine if you used 5.5mms especially if you run more than a 4s pack...when you solder them on just make sure you use at least a 75 watt iron otherwise you wont have enough heat the bigger connectors act as a heat sink

[rcsammy]

its just a MM not a MMM..confusing.. or do they use the same connectors?

[Arct1k]

4mm connections for motor and none to battery - you would need to put your own deans on.

3s 8000 is HEAVY for a slash - I think I'd be going for a max of a 3s 5000...

[rcsammy]

ok, thanks
i guess the motor will come with no connectors?

the 8000 was my original idea but i have now learnt that i dont need that much and it is too expensive at the moment anyway
will be geting a zippy R pack
