Status: offline 		Got a call from my girl today to say that she had went and ordered me a new truck,

She was gonna keep it a surprise until it arrived but the moment I answered the phone she
Couldn't not tell me,

So I now have a new xs ss kit on its way to me,
I don't want to be putting heaps of coin into a brushless combo,

But at the same time I don't want it lacking power,

It will only be running 2s 5200mah 40c packs as that is what I already run on my savage flux hp,

What motor kv should I be looking at? Esc amp?

Also anyone know the dimensions of motor I should be looking at, and what shaft size?

Hope some body can help me out, soon as the truck arrives I want to get it built,

Thanks.

You will just need a 540 size BL motor. I used a 2800kv 4 pole from valuehobby, and it worked great. Just to warn you, though, the kit can be a pain to put together. Make sure you have good tools and loctite on hand.

Do you happen to know the dimensions of motor that will fit in the flux xs?

Is there anything in the manual about motor dimensions?

the stock rtr Xs come with a 4000kv motor, just 2800 seems a bit low on kv compared to stock,

Thanks for your help

Yes, but if you read the reviews the 4000kv motor gets hot easily, especially on 3s. 2800kv doesn't even break a sweat and has plenty of power.

Status: offline 		Yes I ran the stock motor for a couple of months and then switched to the 1410 3800. They are 2 completely different motors the stocker ran hot all the time on stock gearing and the 3800 runs cool geared up. The highest temps I have had are 150 on the motor where as the stock motor was always in the 170 range. But yes a lower kv motor will always run cooler but I like speed and efficiency and the 3800 gives me that.

The Mamba Max Pro is capable of 4s, not 6s. You're thinking of the Mamba Monster. And the 3800kv motor has a 3s maximum.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SKYRC-TORO-RC-Model-3900-KV-4-Poles-Sensorless-Brushless-Motor-IM756-/300689205619?pt=UK_ToysGames_RadioControlled_JN&hash=item4602792973

And one of these
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SKYRC-TORO-RC-Model-Brushless-Motor-80A-ESC-Speed-Controller-for-1-8-Car-SL762-/300690697518?pt=UK_ToysGames_RadioControlled_JN&hash=item46028fed2e

I'm running this esc's big brother, turnigy trackstar 150A esc on my 1/8 flux along with the hp tork motor and I've had no issues at all with it,

I already have the programming card that will work on the 80a esc also,

Looking forward to my items arriving to get started building my kit

I just sold mine for $175 shipped with Savage with only 10 runs, new Turnigy 3600mah 3s, and a Venom 3s 4000mah lipo. Probably could have gotten more for it, but I'm glad I got rid of this thing. Handled terrible.

I've had problems with the inner ones, but I've heard of people having problems with the outers.
