Feigao 6L help

[JUS4SHO]

i just aquired a Feigao 6L motor for my slash 4x4 , with a vxl-3s and i have a few newbie questions
1) what gearing should i use? can i run 15/50 safely (i plan on using a doule integy fan on the motor)
2) this should be faster than the stock motor?
3) the wire colour code does not match than of the vxl-3s how do i wire it up

thanks in advance for all the assistance

1) it should be fine on 2S...watch the temps on 3S though

2) definately....much faster. it will also have more torque.

3) the middle wires are always the same. the 2 outer wires can be changed to reverse the rotation.

thanks very much for the help buddy

i would avoid running 3s. As a rule I never run feigaos past 35,000 rpm

the velineon motor is a feigao and traxxas runs it on 3S at almost 45,000rpms.

I run mine in my 8ight buggy on 3S all day long with no issues. those motors can take alot of abuse imo.

3500x11.1= 38,850. Not 45,000. And even then, velineons fail all the time on 3s.

The 6l is 4000kv. I would not run it on 3s. Feigaos don't like going above 35,000rpm.

Harold....

when do you run your velineon on 11.1V?

a charged lipo is 4.21V per cell....

so 12.6 x 3500= 44,100

i've had velineons for years, and never burned a single one on 3S. Granted, the 6L is a 4,000kv motor. it would run right at the 50K mark, but i've done that too with no issues.

as long as you check temps often, i don't see any issues. they're strong motors.

Dwight.....

I don't run velineons.

a discharged lipo is 3.0v per cell

so 9x3500= 31,500

I've had feigaos for years before they were rebadged as velineons,and burned several on different voltages.

as long as you check temps VERY often, i don't see any issues. they're weak problematic cheap inefficient motors.

It's neato that you're liking them. They are crap.

CRAP??!! awww...Harold....why?
they're good for buggies and sc cars. the neus are much more effecient, but
since the esc technology is FAR behind the power they produce, i'm sticking with things that don't cause me a ton of financial strain.

i've gone through 10+ escs in the last year. no motors. velineon escs can handle 2 pole feigaos, even novak ballistics. the 4 pole neus run like their on rev limiters. until i find a bash proof esc that can go above 3S, i'm sticking with the 2 pole masterpieces.

i finally burned up my v1 MMM. It does suck.

Screw it, run that 6l on 5s
