This is the Mamba Max motor/ESC combo you want: http://www.castlecreations.com/products/mamba_max.html

RE: Please Introduce me to brushleess/LiPo power!..

Ok, I'm a car noob but I'll try to help. I know all about Lipos and brushless from planes.

3s 20C Lipos = 3 lipo cells in series, with a discharge rating of 20C. This rating tells you the...

RE: 30 min. run on a vxl rust. with 3c 4000

If you want a good cycle life on Lipos I would stick to the 20% rule.

Ferrite bead: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrite_bead

Same thing as a ferrite ring. Might help if your noise is coming through the wires to your Rx.

Try routing your antenna in every way...

You can try looping the wire from your ESC to your Rx through a ferrite ring.

So that PS can support about 16-17A? ...200W/12V

How much do these computer PS's usually cost? I'm looking at a 20A PS for $60 and wondering if it's worth my time to gather all the parts and...

RE: VXL Not an RTR!!!!

Be aware if you replace the Traxxas connector you void the warranty on the ESC. (and motor?)

RE: Post your A123 experience/pics

Cool. Did you find the need to run 2p configurations or was 1p runtime long enough for you?

Did 4s have an advantages over 3s? Cooler running? Or just more ballistic? :D

Post your A123 experience/pics

I'm thinking about trying A123 cells in the future as I want more power than 6cell NIMH but less cost and danger of Lipos. (mainly the COST!!) I can't find decent 7cell NIMH and anything higher seems...

RE: Losi XXX-T RTR vs. Traxxas Rustler VXL brushless

Can someone tell me what the 70/30 throttle switch does on the Traxxas Tx? Will it give me more top end throttle?

And who sells 7 cell 4000mah+? SMC doesn't have any listed on Tower.

RE: Losi XXX-T RTR vs. Traxxas Rustler VXL brushless

It sure is. But it will be a lot tamer than the monster videos I've seen.
6 cell should be good for me. It's been awhile since I've done cars.

I ended up getting a Venom 3300 6 cell. It's all...

RE: Losi XXX-T RTR vs. Traxxas Rustler VXL brushless

I got the Rustler today. Nothing to assemble, I feel lost!

Soldered some deans on and ready to test it later tonight. 6 cell.

I figured I have more flat dirt areas than hilly, so the...

RE: Gearing for my VXL rustler comming next week

Don't run a lipo above 130-140F.

140F is a Lipo killer. 130F is pushing it!

RE: whats a lipo balancer?

First off, when a lipo is deeply discharged there's a chance the cell voltages can stray from one another and there may be 1 high cell and 2 low cells. (in a 3cell pack)

If you then try to...

RE: Losi XXX-T RTR vs. Traxxas Rustler VXL brushless

Found one at another shop in N. Kentucky for a reasonable $335. I might pick it up tomorrow.

Gotta get a decent NIMH charger as well. Uughh. And hope Radio Shack has some GP3300's.

RE: Losi XXX-T RTR vs. Traxxas Rustler VXL brushless

Well I went today to HobbyTown USA and almost bought the Rustler VXL. I was surprised they had any in stock seeing Tower was out. (figures)

Didn't buy it, they marked it up $45!!! That's why I...

RE: PROBLEM!

That's normal. Without your radio on, your receiver is picking up stray frequencies and glitching like you described. No worries.

RE: Losi XXX-T RTR vs. Traxxas Rustler VXL brushless

Well now I've been reading the Stampede VXL likes to flip in fast turns (expected). Would a Rustler VXL be better for all round yard/parking lot bashing and jumping?
Obviously the Rustler will...

Do explain.

Are you a stadium truck guy? What's your favorite in your stable? (pics, if you got em) :D

I won't be racing and don't have very long stretches for speed runs.

RE: Losi XXX-T RTR vs. Traxxas Rustler VXL brushless

No, I was talking about the Hobbico MKII. It can charge NICD, NIMH, and Lipo. I'm just not sure what charge rate it can provide for NIMH. (I want fast charges)

That amp draw is insane. I never...

RE: Losi XXX-T RTR vs. Traxxas Rustler VXL brushless

I think you're right. The shop didn't have the new VXL's.

My largest Lipo is only 2100mah. Unlike planes, I never see any mention of amp draw on these motors. 4000mah is really big for Lipos and...

RE: Losi XXX-T RTR vs. Traxxas Rustler VXL brushless

If I were to go with a kit, what would be best? Both...

RE: Losi XXX-T RTR vs. Traxxas Rustler VXL brushless

I won't be racing, there aren't any dirt tracks around Cinti, OH. (so the guy told me)
