brushless 1/5 4wd conversion about to begin! couple questions.

Hey all, yall might have been wondering what happened to the Rampaja, well i just recently purchased it from Ryu and it will show up at my door anyday now. Unfortunately i caught it just days afterthe electronics sold, so i had to start over by orderign a 2217, Hydra hv 240, Neuengy 5s lipos, ccbecpro, and some connectors and such. I am very happy right now. I ask that mods keep this thread going because it will be updated by me in the following weeks or months, however long it takes for me to reassemble it to my likeing, and pics and questions are sure to be posted also.

Damn man, I wish I had known. An ebay auction just went with all new cc hydra 240, cc bec pro, two 5s flightpower packs, a huge mega motor, two ib6 chargers w/ balancers and misc. all for $700 buy it now. All new.

Oh well, I'm glad the rampage went to an RCM member. I'm looking forward to the build!

yeah, my cc 240hv plus cc bec pro just sold for $310 like 3 days ago. just shipped it off. today is bittersweet. i am very sad to sell the rampage but sooo glad i can still see its progress here on the forum. seeing fast5srevo's post brought a big smile to my face. you are gonna have a blast with this truck. just getting everything setup to ship to fast5srevo has been fun. i just want to keep working on it and finish it now....damn!

ups and downs ups and downs. A lesser man would still be dreaming in his garage, you sold your toys to pay bills. That's a real man. You'll be up again, hopefully soon

I purchased one of teh cc Bec pros for the rampage, Ryan was using the bec to power the radio and servos and a 2s lipo for the cooling fans. So my qustion is, can i power 3 40mm fans, the radio and 3 servos (HPI 5t servo, and 2 JR HVs) with just the CC BEC Pro which is rated at 20amps?

Anyone? Or do i need to continue this in a new thread cause this one is outdated?

[Overdriven]

If its rated for 20amps I'd say it can do it. Even in a big truck like that the servos won't draw more than 1 amp each (maybe 2 amp spikes), and each fan will be less than that. You might want to power the servos off the ccbec instead of the reciever though. 1/5th scale guys to this to lower the current going through the Rx, and to make sure the servos get full power. Only the white (usually) signal wire ends up going to the Rx. Glad to see the truck will end up running agin in its brushless glory.

hey Jayson, did you get the soldering figured out last week? let me know what you are up against and i will offer anything i can to help. cant wait to see it running.

Yea, a guy i know that comes into the lhs has a big mean soldering iron, like a power company grade one, he has some high amp airplane and heli setups that he has soldered some bac's on with it (bac- big ass connectors). And hopefully in another week my 2217 will be here, If not i will give Castle a ring. Then maybe ican get connectors on it and then i will be ready to boogey with no brake cause i havent finished them yet.
