hey, how do those traxxas battery terminals compare to the deans ultra?

Is there a rechargeable battery pack available or that can be fitted to the factory traxxas transmitter?

I don't know if I agree with that statement. e-mike is saying he is using them in his e-revo in this thread: http://www.rc-monster.com/forum/show...hlight=zippy-r

The TP packs at 160mm still have some room front to back. I actually had to move in the spacer to make sure they were snug.

well then I stand corrected......I was going by the fact that the erevo bays measure 160mm and the batts claim to be 170mm long thats a 3/8" differance


sorry for the misinformation

Castle Creations Mamba Monster controller out of stock

how do i tell which 1515 neu motor i need? people say 1y, i see some are using 2.5d,
what is the difference? Would I always have to run 6s? if i run 3s for longer run times will it all still work?

monster put together an order for me of all the parts I need.

Depends what your goal is specifically.

A speed machine on lower voltage would need the 1.5d, but woud tend to run warmer and push the batts more.

A speed machine on higher voltage would use a lower kv motor, to give much better temps and runtime to boot.

Normal basher would be fine with the 1y on 4s, then stepup to 5 or 6s for speed runs and freaky power.

As for voltage- I would never say use 3s lipo for an MT. With anything other than the fastest 1515 sized motor it wuold be slower than old people humping, and if you then stuck 4/5/6s to the same motor... hot hot hot.

i'm buying an e-revo and i mainly drive on grass and pavement. i have a lot of space so i just want crazy speed.
im getting a MMM, Neu 1515/1y, and two Thunder Power 3s 5000mAh lipos.
That way, the motor will be spinning at 50,000RPM which i think is the MAXIMUM any Neu motor should run at, as its RPM limit is 60,000.

i should hopefully be able to get 55-60mph, and at least 20 minutes of running.
