Traxxas VXL made by Feigao

[Arct1k]

Hi.

FYI got on IM with someone today... don't want to confirm where in case I get them into trouble...

The VXL motor is made my Feigao but not the ESC...

Just for FYI....

[squeeforever]

Thats interesting...Glad to see Traxxas is making there own ESC's. The more companies that make em, the cheaper. Its good to know that the motors are Feigao as well. At least we know the quality...

I figured that the motor was nothing special. It gets really hot when you push it.

I never seen a fegaio motor with a solder plate, but it runs like a fegaio, kind of a power hog. Mine pulls 700 watts on my SRT on 2s lipo

I wonder how the VXL controller would run with a Neu motor.

I think that the esc is the reason that the system is power hungry, my esc ran just as hot as the motor. If it is a feigao, it would be a 10s motor. At least the end caps are held on with screws!

I know that there are quite a few people having fun with the VXLs, but I only kept mine for a few days. Everytime I tried to run it through the wringer, it got way too hot. I gave mine away to a kid that will never run anything more than a six cell pack through it.

anyone ever have tried this?

Supposedly the vxl does not like neu motors, or novak with the sensor cable attached, or not. Not sure that it is the do-all esc that traxxas would like us to think...

I like my rusty with vxl controller but it melted down with a higher kv motor 2pole....i put a MM and its running very good.....but i have ordered my new vxl.....its seems now it was a waste of money and time.....

Feigao does not make the velineon 3500 for traxxas. I 100% guarantee it. All this stuff is just rumors and is not true. Traxxas either has a small company that makes it for them or they make it for themselves.

Please post some facts to back up that assertion, otherwise your post is nothing more than a rumor too.

Takedown please clarify - It was Feigao themselves that told me they do make it! :)

Faigao probably does

They have motors with solder plates, as thats who makes the orion, peak etc motors, so taking the sensor out is about all the would have to do, and its a VXL

And I remember the VXL has a different rotor then the MM, I think it was longer, or bigger? Like a S can feigao?

The design, materials used, and performance definately point towards it being a feigao. They are all hacker clones, just with cheaper materials. Now if they would clone the c50 hacker motors with the segmented magnet rotor they may have something!
