Great Planes Ammo for Rustler/ E-Firestorm

While waiting MMM, I was thinking that I buy Traxxas Rustler or HPI´s new E-Firestorm. I have already Mamba Max controller and I was wondering whitch motor to go with and then I saw these: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...o+36&search=Go

I think that price is quite awesome? These are somekind of clearance items? So I want to know is any of these good choise for Rusty/E-Firestorm with MM and 3s Lipo? Maybe Ammo 36-56-2600kv or 36-50-3300kv.

Well they all have 5mm shafts, so I don't know what you're going to do for pinions. Also the ones you suggested are a tad longer than a typical 540 motor, not a bad thing though. Anyway, the shaft size is the biggest problem.
I might pick up one or 2 of these motors, that price is so low.....

Yep, these have been marked down for a while... not sure exactly why yet. It's a chance to grab a cheap motor. They are a little different size than the typical S,L,XL but I see no reason why they won't be just as good as a Feigao etc. Probably just another rebadge, lol.

I wonder how big this Feigao is....

I'm thinking of trying one of those large ones. Seems like its a XXL of sorts. Its a few MM longer than the Feigao XL's.

great prices..... which ones are you talkin' about squee?...

[squeeforever]

The one thats 80-something mm long. Its a little longer than a Feigao XL.

Thanks for your input. If I'll go with Rusty pinion is not a problem because Mike have 32 pitch with 5mm bore pinions, but E-Firestorm spur´s pitch is 48 and that is a problem?

Those motors was just an idea, but I think that I´ll buy E-Firestorm and get motor that can use with stock pinions. Don´t know yet.

The 36-56-2600 has about the same performance as 9L but with a better efficiency!

The down sides being minor....the shaft size as Matt said....just drill some pinions out to suit...

And these have cooling holes that need to be sealed up to stop dirt getting in..

let us know how the motor works for you. but i would recommend the rustler by far over the e firestorm. i own the firestorm (nitro) and it is a good car but there are better 1/10 scale stadiums out there. my brother owns a rustler and it is very reliable and very durable. so reliable in fact that i am going to buy one so that i always have something that runs will all my other stuff is not working.

I wonder how this motor would perform in an E maxx with a Mamba Max ESC?

They are priced right and look pretty tempting.

48p 5mm shaft gears... http://www.megamotorusa.com/Shopping...cat=Gear+Parts
Picked this up somewhere on the forum and got it on to the favorits list.
Has anyone tried one of these yet???
I would like to have a few KV motors for different apps, so these would fit the budget but are they any good? Need experienced guys to pick a few up and let the rest of us know.

Just ordered Rustler and Ammo 36-56-2300 and 36-50-3300 from Towerhobbies. I'll let you know how those work.

There it is.. I see it squee...

I'm sure that motor would work awesome...
I wonder what's the rpm limit on them.. I think it's only something like 30K rpm?

Thanks for the tip! Just Ordered few different size. Now I´m searching "best bang for the buck" (euro) lipos. Maybe NeuEnergy 3s 25c Car Lipo pack from Mike or Maxamps 3s 8000mAh? I was hoping to use same packs in series on Revo too... (Revo is going to be powered by MMM or MGM&Neu/Lehner) What is the type of the balancing tab on that NeuEnergy?

[neweuser]

If you go MAxamps (which is what I would go with for bang for the buck), those are hyperion. However, not sure about the Neuenergy...
