Great Planes Ammo for Rustler/ E-Firestorm

[sikeston34m]

I ordered a 20 tooth 32 pitch pinion from Mike for the 5mm shaft. Then I got this 36-56-2600kv motor in from Tower. I'm going to try it in an E maxx. I'll let yall know how it works out.

I gave the ammo 1800 kv (36/56/1800 )motor a try in my 2wd emaxx on 5s and it got very hot very quickly. It seems to be less effecient than the feigao motor of the same size/spec (15l). Hope that you have better success than I did.

Hold on! Just checked tower and the motor is now selling for $35!!!!!!!!!! I bought mine about 3 months ago for $80. At $35 it is a smoking deal, just gear down and enjoy the savings, slowly!

That's what I gave for this one. I'm sure it will need a heat sink.

What gearing were you using?

I was planning on going 20/76 with this one on 4S Lipo. Think that will work good?

WOW, this make take all of my mental capabilities to remember the gearing!

Definately using a 66 t spur, possibly a 14-16t pinion, not sure. Most of my combos are geared for 40mph though, and I try to keep the motor rpm around 35k. Hope this helps.

I will have the LHS order me a few of these motors, can't beat the price!

Has there been any other testing done with the Ammo motors? I'm hoping to try a 36/56/2600 or 36/50/3300 on 3s with a MamabaMax in my CRT.5.

Right now I'm using a Novak GTB with a 6.5 (5900 kv) on 2s. I don't get any cogging or heat (really), but I'd like more punch for jumps out of corners.

I have both of those motors, but I'm wainting my Maxamps 3s 8000mAh batteries to arrive. I'm going to use those motors in Rustler. I'll let you know how those works, maybe after x-mas.

Man that Christmas guy is aways getting in my way. Let us know how it works out.

[GorillaMaxx360]

for that cheap you might try 2 of them out in the maxx

[rschoi_75]

Neuenergy lipos are top notch. Prices are very good too... only a few more dollars than a similar capacity maxamps lipo.

[Serum]

Yeah, i would go Neuenergy too.

[neweuser]

I happen to like my maxamps a lot. But then, never tried the Neuenergy either.

Ok, I got my batteries and I mounted Ammo 36/56/2600 in my sons Rusty, but it is so wet here in Finland that we couldn't drive it outdoors. What I have tried it indoors, it works ok. I have to seal end of the motor before we go out with it. I have only 20t pinion and stock spur so it's not too fast for my 3,5 year old son with 3s 8000 mAh Maxamps Lipo. Now we only have to wait for minus celsius degrees, then my son gets permission to punish his first RC car. He have been practising well with my BL:s, Minizilla, MLST and Tamtech the Frog so he should be ok with Rusty, at least I get something to fix if not.

I received an Ammo 36/56/2600 for Christmas that will also be going into my Rustler. Battery will be 4s2p A123, and I'll be running a 46t MGT spur gear with the Revo slipper clutch parts (not the Jato ones), and a 20t pinion. Top speed should be about 55mph.

[DrKnow65]

Just bought the 36/50/2300 to go into the Academy SBV2 Pro buggy. I'm going the other way (slowing down) to make it more track friendly. I'll be running it on 2S,3S, or 4S depending on the track. I should be able to gear from 26-45mph top end with this setup, and I've still got my 5700KV if I want the insane speeds again.

Soon as you guy's have some run time with your Ammo motors throw up some feedback please.

Edit: I'm going to turn down the shaft on mine to stay with the 3.2mm/1/8" pinion gears I have. I'll post up a note on how it goes...

[DrKnow65]

OK, update time... WAY happy with the motor. Runs plenty strong in the low end and has no heating issues in my buggy. For those not familiar with the SBV2 from Academy, it runs a tight body with an under carrage cover (like a body for the bottom of the buggy) so air flow is at an absolute minimum. I do have a fan setup to cool the motor but I ran the buggy without for the firts pack, MM-3S lipo, after a full run as hard as I could go the motor temped out at 137' a big improvement over the cc5700KV that got over 150' with the fan.

The mamba max runs this motor with no cogging what so ever and I can make it crawl nice and smooth. Run time was over 30 minutes on 5000mah. Can't wait to try this setup with different voltages on the track, just wish I could find 4S batteries for free hehehe.
