Brushless Savage, Q's

So how fast would that 8 XL set up be and would I have truck flipping power, also does anyone know anything about the XLT motors?

8xl on 14 cells would easily flip the truck.

i only lasts 5minutes with my 3800mah i thot i did around 8min but yesterday i only made 5minutes..on a newly charged batts my sav flips real bad i broke my rollbar..anyway i wish i have lipo i heard on lipo u get longer run time without reducing power?is that true?coz on nimh u can tell when youre batts are losin juice when my truck is not doin wheelies and becomes slower ..

The 8XL only lasts 5-8 minutes on 3800 mah? thats not very good, also what is the top speed?

what is your drive-style?

im only doing some regular driving infront of the house..i dont think im not gonna get a good run time with 3800s nimhs..or maybe they lost charge since i charge them 2days before i used them.about the speed i dont really know.

With the 8XL it should take longer before the batteries are drained.. what charger are you using? can you see how much mAh you pushed in them?

the 8XL is fairly quick, nothing to write home about though. File that one in the mild catagory.

The guy from fine design tells me the XLT-4 motor goes about 45 in a 4 cell lipo powered savage and gets around 10 minutes of runtime with 3700 mah, I will be getting a 4000 mah, so so I should get around 10-12 minutes, which is perfect for me. Does anyone on here have any experience with that motor and also where can I get pinions for 1/8" shaft mod 1 style.

Don't buy that motor.....

It's even hotter than your 8XL and will drain the batteries much, MUCH quicker..

be wise and buy from rc-monster.com

that xlt 4 is nothing more than a feigao XL clone...

I already spent 160 at rc monster on an esc, im just looking for the best choice, anything that I can buy from here I will, but im not gonna get a worse product, just to buy from here.

Well, like I asked/said earlier;

With the 8XL it should take longer before the batteries are empty.. what charger are you using? can you see how much mAh you pushed in them?

and did you drove it since the last time with fresh charged cells. And what brand of cells are you using?

I am not a fan of FD, and i have got several grounded reasons for it.

But i am not stopping you to buy from him. If you think a 6XL will give you more runtime than an 8XL, then go ahead..

But before i can help you further, i need to know what batteries it are you are using and what charger, and if you can see how many mAh you put in them during charging..

You said you left them for 2 days before you used them; nimh cells have got a fair self-discharge.

I have ran the nemisis motors before. Besides color and price couldn't tell a
difference from one to the other.
If you going 14 cells 8xl will be fine.
