More "SCT" motors

[lincpimp]

So I have to ask, will the sc 2400kv motor (1415) and the MMP handle 6s? Loaded question, I know.

Lets say that I keep the entire setup under 6lbs and gear for 50mph max... And use decent batts, of course.

2400kv at 22.2v... 53k rpms... Might have to buy a 4wd traxxas product!

So far its the same software in the MMP SC as the MMP just a new sticker (updated to the latest firmware;). I plugged in 6s and it beeped 6 times, it looked liked it armed but I didn't have it installed into anything to run it. Why the new motor Kv and 4s limit on the MMP SC combo? TRX NOOBs? The max motor rpm on the can is 75,000. Here is a pic of the 1415(top) besides a 1515.

The 4S limitation is mostly to keep noobs from overgearing and damaging the ESC. :)

Thanks bruce, good info. I am guessing with the correct gearing the combo will be fine on 6s, or maybe just 5s, to keep the motor rpms somewhat sane.

I currently run the MMM / 1512 (1800kv) combo in my Slash 4x4, geared (23/50) for 55 mph on 4s, very happy with how it performs

Just purchased the SCT MMP / 2400kv combo to try it out

Do you think I will be able to gear it for the same speed on 4s ?

I calculate it would require a drop in pinion to a 17

Will throw the eagletree on it and see how the two setups compare

Cheers

Howdy Folks,

Just received the SCT 2400 combo, motor looks nice (small next to my current 1512)

Just wondering what ESC settings (for both the 1512 1800kv and the 1415 2400kv) you would reccomend specifically

Motor timing
Start power
Punch control

I have been running the 1512 with punch disabled, high start power and 0 timing and love it

Cheers

What truck is this in crusey_aus?

I always set my timing to "none". Start power to low and the punch control you just have to play with. A lot will depend on what battery you're running.

Let us know how you like it... I'm curious how the cogging is.

Whoever is saying the Stampede 4x4 is heavy doesn't have an e-maxx lol. I think the truck is pretty light! Thinking about the SCT 2400 combo too.

Hi mate,

Its a Slash 4x4

Planning to do some data logging to compare the 1512 with the 1415 over the next few weeks, will post the info here

Cheers

Id buy a 1410 if I didnt have to buy the Esc. Also, be nice to have a higher kv 1415 motor only option. Both with 5mm shafts.

I just threw the eagletree on my Slash 4x4 with the 2400kv

1237 watts on 3s (6000mah 25c Turnigy Nano), gps speed 50 mph

1980 watts on 4s (5000mah 40c Turnigy), gps speed 60 mph

Cheers

Yea, I'm waiting on this too.

+1 on the 5mm option rotor.

Of course this won't delay my purchase, I can run 3mm till the "option" kit comes out....

[phatmonk]

Ditto on the 5mm shaft.

same here and a 3300 kv 1415

add me to the list of people who would rather have 5mm rotors too
