im stoopid...

@revopqrs: I hear what you're saying about the model numbers, but they actually DO mean something once you get the hang of it. Some examples: The BK Warrior 9920 is an ESC capable of 99A and 20 cells. The motors listed as 1940, 9150 are the high-end Lehner motors. The number in nXL is the number of turns for that motor; and the "XL" refers to the length. S=small, L=long, XL=extra long.

Then there's the acronyms: MM (Mamba Max), ESC (Electronic Speed Control), BL (brushless, BEC (battery eliminator circuit), UBEC (Ultimate or universal battery eliminator circuit), lipo (lithium polymer), etc.

It's not that we try to sound smarter than others, we are just lazy and don't want to type as much. Ever use Unix on a computer? That Operating System is a classic example of lazy people; many of the commands are only two letters!

Hey man it is for one shock tower. I just purchased two of them and they are great the look sick and they are so adjustable and they will not break. Plus they allow for wing mounts.

i just thought they were cool lookin!:005:

[GorillaMaxx360]

man i totally hear you on the coolness that is why i am getting a par and they also strengthen the bulks what more can you ask for.

If you stick a fan on the ESC (the fan would draw electricity from your UBEC (a necessary part)), the Mamba Max and 8XL on 12 cells would be a killer combo. I have a Mamba Max on 12 cells and a 10XL (torquier but less rpm/top speed than an 8XL) in a Savage (weighing in at 11 to 12 pounds) and it's plenty quick. There is enough torque that if I floor it from a stand still it can flip on its lid and have enough force from the flip to bounce back on its wheels. Crazy torque. And that's a Savage, which I'm guessing is heavier than an Emaxx (am I right?) Anyway, my point is that I fried a 9920, but my MM hasn't had a problem yet and I absolutely love (looooooooooove) the programmability of it (throttle curves, brake curves, not having to trigger program it.)

Brushless is fun, but expect to break parts from the power.

Dont wait to long on ordering the Warrior 9920 Speed Control if thats what you want. I think thebholliday special is going to end soon and then the price goes from $150 to $200.

[revopqrs]

i might just order it on friday when i get paid...:005:

i just ordered the flm chassis, idler gear, grey new style bulks(i can explain if needed), bulk braces, alum diff input collars, a towerpro 208 in/oz @.13 servo($20!), and a ubec.


im thinkin i need a hex screw kit also... phillips heads? yuk!!
any advise on that?:032:

[GorillaMaxx360]

RC Screwz and a 208oz servo for 20bucks nice grab. Though for that price it might be to good to be true i would read some reviews on it it might be very un relyable for that price i would be scared of the performance, but then again i just might be good.

[revopqrs]

ya... its probably a blue bird... but for $20 ill give it a shot! i tried the blue birds, they didnt work out.:019:

i need them screws!! i forgot how miserable it was to work on these things with a phillips crew driver!:007: bad..


i just made a new end of summer vid if anyones interested? it has mts, nitro and electric, buggies, truggies, a jato, and a micro t. we run em hard!:028:
