Ok here is the Volcano epx with our brushless motor in it. It is way to low geared with the stock pinion. It needs like a 22-26t pinion.

I used a 7.2v 4600NimH Venom battery. I would say that stock it is almost as fast if not just as fast as the Volcano sv but with a bigger pinion it will be way faster.

Ok now can you use a lipo battery or a 8.4v hump pack. If so I think it will be on par with other brushless.

Redcat Nick

Yes you can use a lipo. In fact it says for best results use a lipo battery.

twomanytoys

I bet if you use lipo or 8.4v it will wheelie. What is the max voltage that it can hadle? People are going to want to know.

Redcat Nick

if it were heavier it would wheelie bro. On take off all 4 wheels spin.

It says up to 9.6v in the instructions

twomanytoys

Take it in the grass then. It may just wheelie. If it handles 9.6 volts then it should be pretty fast givin the right battery combo. Looks good so far though. I bet it could be faster than the nitro volcano if set up right.

Redcat Nick

I know that it could be.

nice video bro, i see a brushless setup in my future

Thanks for the info Nick, can't wait to stuff 8 cells on the combo when it arrives[8D]

What transmisson parts had to be upgraded? I have a stampede and was thinking about upgrading to brushless but I thought becasue the volcano is 4x4 it would be better.

twomanytoys

It should work great in the stampede.

How is the handling of the volcano compared to the stampede?

cen123

I still use these but....wouldn't the tamiya plugs melt on a brushless motor. Mine are starting to melt with a brushed.

ehroof

i would suggest using deans plugs on a brushless setup or any modified motor. the volcano could outhandle a stampede, its lower and wider.

cen123

I was thinking of maybe the Velineon system in a volcano or a nitro volcano w/ upgraded engine (as you read in other posts)

ehroof

start with the nitro volcano, then go from there, you will be very happy and suprised by how well it handles and how powerful and fast it is.

My Feedback: (1)

good job on the video Nick. I think it took off pretty good.

cen123

What KV is that motor and how were the temps? What gearing were you running? Thanks.
