Motor for a MBX5T other then a Neu?

[ogrfre01]

Im thinking about making a truggy conversion. A Mugen MBX5T Prospec....
Would a Feigao 8XL with Monster Max, Polyquest 4S, 5000mah do a good job or is a feigao to weak? (I have all these stuf already except for the roller) Im thinking maybe 12T RCM mod1 piniong (46T spur) gearing. Or is it Neu or nothing?

I have one of those on the way..... a 2000Kv. But the Feigao will not do the job/run to hot?

I used to use feigaos on my revo back when I had it and they do the job fine, but they do tend to get hot. I ran an 8xl on 4s and it ran really hot, but then went to a 10xl on 5s and it cooled way down and I gained a lot of power.

kinda have to run more voltage on a slower motor to get them to run at a good temp.

Thats what i thougt..... if only castle could release their motors to a diecent price...... well well... I ordered the Medusa a couple of weeks ago so they shold be in stock soon and sent to me...... then i only need the roller...

it isnt that they are weak but to get good performance out of them the Fiegao's run hot

I know that they run on the hot side. I have 8XL, MM, PQ setup in my MBX5, but now i want to get a MBX5T..... i have no heat issues at all, but a truggy is heavier, larger wheels.... so i guess there will be allot more heat in a truggy rather then a buggy.

If your planning on racing, there is no substitute. NEU

Agreed...If you plan to race. There are enough variables as it is. Take the motor variable out of the equation and get a Neu.

That's a hell of a sales pitch. :P
