Hi everyone, I got the MMM 2200kv combo for Christmas. The quality is amazing. I just orderd two TrueRc 3s 5000mah 15c lipos for it, they should be here soon. This is my first 1/8th scale project. What do you guys think?

Parts used:
MMM 2200kv combo
Traxxas Single motor plate
Traxxas Single motor cover
Two TrueRc 3s 5000mah 3s lipos
Deans Wet Noodle Wire

It has been talked about on here in the last couple days. your True RC Lipos may not be up to the task, you may wind up destroying them. IMHO that is not a 6s setup. That motor IMO is best suited to 4s use, 6s if you wanted to do some speed runs. 6s on my 1515 2.5d (1650kv) was insane so I dropped to 5s. Do some reading around on here but this is what I have seen in the last couple days.

I concurr. 15c x 5amps = 75amps, where as Castle recommend your lipos need to support at least 100amps continuous. I have no doubt it will run, and run well, but you will need to gear down quite a bit and keep a close eye on the lipos with regards to temps and voltage (set your lvc to 3.2-3.3v to be on the safe side). Apart from that, should be a blast.

I agree with the 6s/2.5d match ...I had this on a converted Revo I used to have, the 1515/1y has a higher amp draw that unless you have a good set of 25c lipos will eventually become a problem. When you run a higher voltage/lower kv setup you can get away with lower quality batteries. The motor will draw a certain amount of wattage and the more voltage you use the less amps you will need ( amps = heat).....volts x amps = watts

Hey thanks. I have it geared 18/68.

Thats pretty reasonable. If you havent got a voltage checker (plugs into the balance tabs on the lipo) or temp gun, then those should be next on your shopping list (cheap items).
