Suitable kv's for a Vendetta on 2S ?

[miniGranis]

Can anyone give a hint a on a suitable kv range for a rather stock (I do have CVDs) Vendetta ?
I am not looking for crazy speeds, abit faster than stock would be nice though. I will use it for road, carpark, bashing playtime and no track drivning.

I am thinking about 5400 (Mamba/CC) but what about 6800 what will be the differnce in performance ?

Go with a Hyperion YC22S-5000 or YC22S-6000 with a Mamba or Quark esc. You can also try something crazy like a Mega ACn16/15/1 (9200Kv) or a Neu 1105/2D (9700Kv), 1107/1.5D (8500Kv) or 1110/1D (9200Kv). I have the YC22S-5000 in my MLST now and it's a blast to drive.

Actually, he needs one of the YC22L style motors as they have a 2.3mm shaft for the metric 48P pinions the Vendetta uses.

He can use pinions made for the MLST. They are also 48P. In the picture of my Mega in my MLST you can see I the two pinions from the different motors. http://www.rc-monster.com/forum/atta...8&d=1204310439. The HP-YC22L-5000 would be perfect too with the pinions you mentioned.

Which one of them would be good for 4s in my jammin buggy ?.

what do you think of this one for 4s medusa mr-36-2200v2-5

What are you, a newB or something? Everyone knows the Mamba 8000 is the bestest motor you can get for anything cuz the high kV means it's powafulllllll!!!!!111!!!111!!!!!11!!!

The MLST pinions aren't metric 48P, that's the problem. They're standard 48P, just like on all the Mini-T variants and RC18 variants.

That's odd. I thought 48 pitch is standard "Inch Unit" and Metric doesn't come in pitch, but module. So it'll be like a MOD 0.5. I'm lost, help . Anyways with 2S and the 2.3mm shaft, I would go with the HP-YC22L-5000, but I would also look into a Neu 1107/1.5D (8500Kv) with the 2.3mm shaft option.

I am thinking of trying the medusa 28-32-4200V2. They seem to be good (powerful) motors. You can gear up for higher top speeds, and use the lower gear for long runtimes. With the castle or quark esc.

You might only be able to fit a 16 or 17T pinion if you go with the 28mm diameter motors, but it should be fine.

good budget motor is a feigao 280 series motor, something like 3000-3500 kv would give you decent speed on 2s, plus the motor has a 2.3 mm shaft, so the stock pinions will work. The mamba 25 motors have 2mm shaft, and are not strong enough for the detta's gearing. I have used both a quark 33 and mamba 25 on my minis and prefer the quark.

i have the hyperion with the tekin mini rage esc - i had a mm25 but found it cogged a bit with the hyperion - this is fixed probably in 1.17.

i'd try the new castle micro pro...

The Hyperion Long Can YC22L features a 2.3mm shaft & a choice between 3900, 4400 & 5000Kv making it perfect for the Duratrax Mini-Quake & Vendetta and other vehicles requiring a 2.3mm shaft for its gear set and for those wishing to run on 6-10nimh cells or 2-3 cell li-poly packs. (we reccomend the 3900 & 4400 for 3 cell li-poly/8-10cell nimh & the 5000 for 2-3 cell li-poly/6-8cell nimh). The YC22L & Mamba 25 combo comes with stainless steel hardware and 3.5mm gold plugs ready to be installed. It also comes with adhesive filmed metal tape to be used on the back of the motor to block the rear vent holes for use in dirt/sand

I just got the Hyperion YC22L for my quake and it's awesome, way better than the 4200 and 5400 mamba. It cogged constantly. Believe me, I tried both and wasted my money. I should have checked with BPP first. They're recommended setup were perfect. I'm running it with a 16T 2.3mm pinion and heatsink from TheToyz.com

Lutach, you're correct in the modules and pitches thing. The Vendetta and Vendetta ST use Mod .5, which is "48 pitch metric" (that is what most people call it; it is in use on Tamiya vehicles such as the TT-01, but it is not the proper term).

I use Tamiya pinions on my Vendetta ST with a 430L 3550kv align outrunner motor. It's geared 19/45 on a 2s apogee 1500 magnum pack. With all the settings turned down on the quark 33, it still has tons of scoot. (<- that's my face every time I grab some throttle)
