.32 Nitro VS Bigmaxximum (PULLOUT)!! - RC-Monster Forums

T-Bro · 04:28 PM

I'm about to have a pullout

with my fully upgraded 1/8 E-Maxx and a 1/8 Savage with a .32 motor in it (3.6 hp).
I hear that nitro motor is a beast! I also am witness that when it comes to Brushless, the Bigmaxximum is a beast as well. This should be really fun

I will be posting a video of the challenge soon.

Who do you have your money on??

My bad folks
Here's my setup...
100% Aluminum from bumper to bumper (pretty darn heavy as is) but I'll probably add...
1/8 hybrids from fastlane machine.
1/8 hyper 7 spyder diffs
All aluminum gears in the tranny
Bigmaxximum Motor
Schulze 18.149 (149-200)amps
18 3700 NIMH Cells (Haven't bought my 2 11.1's lipo's yet)
16 tooth pinion & 72 tooth spur...(just for the pull-out)

As long as your geared right, weigh as much or more that your opponent and have the torque "obviously" then you should do fine. I would throw some weights on your maxx just for this occasion. It will make it that much more difficult for the savage to fight back. The pletty shouldnt mind. Ive seen brushless e-maxx's outpull 1/5's because they are setup right. What setup are you running? 4s-6s, ESC, Tires, Gearing, Type of batts?

Where are you in NC? I'd love to watch.

Just gear that puppy down! Motor torque is multiplied by the total gear reduction, so the lower the gearing, the more torque it will have. Gear down, add lots of weight, and a let 'er rip! Maybe use a bunch of paralleled lipos so that the motor is free to pull whatever current it needs with minimal voltage drop.

Gear down because startup under load or rolling the opposite direction is iffy, try and keep a decent motor speed when pulling

I have a feeling the BL will win easily. The electric will have 100% torque right off the bat, while the nitro has to build up the rpms for the engine to develop torque. Although, if this was a serious contest, the nitro would probably be better with a tighter clutchbell spring and grippier shoes. That way, the motor is free to spin up more before the clutch engages (getting further up the rpm/torque curve), and then engage hard when it does. Similar to revving a 1:1 car >=3krpm and then dumping the clutch.

Imagine a brakepress on a nitro.

Could set up the 3ch to be on/off brakes. Just hold full throttle and flip ch3 off when the flag goes down.
