now with a poll what brushless system do u use in ur 18th scale cars

well i was at my local hobby shop and came across these (i bought one )they had a 8000/9200
they are mady by dynamite just wondering if anyone hase used them r they any good what should i expect

i had the mamba comp(6400) package in my 18 mt and the instructions(for this c 4 motor) say to use the mamba 25 or better im hopeing to get more speed

oh yea i bought the 9200 and a 1200 mah 8.4v bat to

the 9200 you should expect better runs then the mamba or tekin did and all you really do is just put the motor in but you might have to proram the mamba

well im in the steps of streaping it in now so ill see how long my esc lasts
i got it cause my mamba comp package(6400kv) just isnt fast enough i like speed so far with my 18 mt i havent had any isshues with getting up to top speed i have plenty ov pavement space to run


guess i should of looked pefore posting just saw the other thread
hope i dont cook my esc anyone rec a gearing

discgolfer72

well shes in and all i can say is holy #### this motor is fast it almost riped my tires off the rims still gotta work on my bat fitting in the car right but dang i love this motor alread and so far no signs of the mamba 25 overheating

discgolfer72

well was haveing some cogging problems but contacted castle and think i have it fiked they told me to use the 60 t spur and the smallest pinion i could get alo they said to download the latest software for the mamba 25 and set my low end to the lowest setting to prevent frying the esc so i bought a castle and im gonna upgrade in a bit ill let u all know how it works ill also get some vids




oh ye i also re configured my 8.4v bat to fit in the mt so ill be ready to rock as soon as the mamba 25 is upgraded anyone use the castle link is it pretty easy

discgolfer72

well the download fiked the cogging and dang this is fast i need a few more charges on my new 8.4v nimh bat (my runtimes are short but the more times i charge it the longer runtimes i get)but im getting some amazing speeds with this thing and still no signs of melting the mamba i might up the throttle curve more after i change my oinion to a 12t

pic of my car full throttle

the wheels are regular mt tires but r balloned to the max
edit
added a not running pic so u can see the diffrence

I run a hump style battery pack in my brushless 18t, its a 9.6v. I Just dremeled two rectangles in the bottom of the chassis where the battery ends and used about 2 foot of 1/2 inch velcro I had laying around. It holds the battery great, It should work in your case. I think you can pick some up at any sort of craft shop. Maybe a lhs but i doubt it. I'll take some pics if anyones interested

*Nitstklr72*

comon i whant vids and not just speed runs i whant bashing

discgolfer72

thanks i have some here(used on my losi xx) but im getting a trinity alum chassis soon so i didnt do that (not gonna want to dremmel a 70 $ chassis) i figured it out i just need longer screws and this really hard foam i have ill post some pics in a bit when my new body is dry (- the screws that is /still gotta get thoes )

man i highly recomend the castle link if u run the mamba25 its pimp ife ben messing with my throttle curv for the past few mins and ive got this 9200kv motor tricked out and im using my mini max 7.2v bat in just a few seconds i can change it from a jet to a wheelie machine ive even set it to run like its a 2 speed (prob not to good on the motor tho)

discgolfer72

here are thoes pics of my bat setup (just need to add larger screws )also my new crowd pleaser body my other bodys are pretty well thrashed (mamba and skate park will shredd lexan quick)


ill have some vids tommorow hopefully if it dosent rain ill get some top speed runns but if it does ill be stuck with some shop bashing

I just ordered one of these motors myself. Trying to decide which ESC to now order for it. The blue around your motor is that a heat sink? I would like to get a heat sink to fit this thing.

My Feedback: (1)

Thats the Factory team motor mount. from what i've heard you can get those clip-on motor heat sinks off of ebay or rcmart or i sure theres other that sell them. All you have to do is squeeze them down around the 180 can.

discgolfer72

well no vids today it rained was going to film some shop vids but the first run didnt turn out well my shops a little small went wot and slamed into a wall nothing important broke just cracked a nother chassis lol

here r the pics of my finished bat mount and the aftermath of my wreck its fixed now if no rain ill have vids tommorow

ps it rocks my lhs is selling traxxas controllers and futaba t2ph ones for 11.99 i bought a traxxas one cause i needed a 27mghz controller for one of my old recivers im going to go back and get the 2 t2ph ones they had they dont come with drystals or recivers but i have tons of that stuff laying around

discgolfer72

added a poll what brushless system do u run in ur 18th scale cars
still no vids woke up and the roads are soaked it ist raining now so hopefully it will dry out

discgolfer72

vids are in i guess rc pics is down right now so here is my putfile page the vids are listed as 9200kv got a few more im uploading now thing there r 2 therer now

discgolfer72

all my new vids are uploaded so view away what do u all think


hey anyone know if the rpm waranty inculded the 18t front bumper i just broke mine ripped the hinge pins right out of it i hit a curb full speed head on didnt break anwthing els luckley but now im back to running the stock bumper dont want to hit any thing with it it sucks



discgolfer72

nickd

yes it is
I went throught 2 before they finally took my suggestion and fixed the design to make it stronger around the hinge pin area
great bumpers btw

discgolfer72

how do i warnty it

fasthobbies

what is the fastest brushless setup for the rc18 i am wanting the car to out run the nitro rustler easly and still be reliable

discgolfer72

well so far ivew had the mamba comp package it was fast (could beat most stock nitro +some hoped up ones ) but this dynmanite c4 9200 kv motor is insane so far every one at the lhs with nitro has refused to race for pinks (i want a nitro lol)and thats only with them seing it half throttle beiong held in my hand

so id go with a mamba 25 (getting the castle link is a must super fine tuning )the c4 9200 kv motor and some good bats id at least get the reedy mini max 1100nimh bats 7.2v

but if u want real power speed ur gonna want to go lipo or use gp 1100nimh cells and make a 7 cell pack 8.4v(11.1v lipo will be uncontrollable 8.4v1200 nimh pack is uncontrollable but still pretty tame)
ur gonna need a 12 t pinion gear and if u dont have the 18 mt ur gonna need to get the 60 t spur gear to (mt already has

fasthobbies

thanks for the info. i will try to get the mamba comp package this week. i am very rough on my rc so where could i find the toughest servos and diffs for the rc18 to handle the mamba

discgolfer72

so far my stock diffs are holding up fine mip makes a super dif upgrade but i havent heard anything about it good or bad
as for servos i finaly messed mine up filming thoes vids hit a curb full speed dead on in the front (even broke my rpm bumper and bent my intgey alloy belcrank) my lhs didnt have any metal gear servos so i just got another stock one only thin i can suggest is to get a metal gear one if u can find one


man id just get a mamba 25 esc like 40-60 $ on ebay or online hobby stores and get that c4 9200 kv motor u will regret not getting(i know i did) the fastest setup (or get the mamba comp x package at least its usually the same price as the comp package)

i bought the comp package(6800kv) cause i was told that the comp x (8000kv)would tear up the diffs but i have had no problems yet even with the 9200kv c4 motor


the castle link is a must
i wish i could get some screen shots of how it works its really sweet a throttle curve pops up and all u do is click on it and move it around to set the curve then load the settings to ur esc

if u r wanting the comp package becaues the 9200 kv or the comp x package might be to powerfull dont worrie with the castle link u can set the power to low and it will preform just like the comp package and then when u need to or want to all u have to do is plug it in to ur comp and hike up the power for full on insane speed (also a good way to get in a race aganst a nitro set ur settings to low power drive it around a bit and when u get a race plug it in hike the power and waste the nitro car lol)

fasthobbies

thanks for the info it was really helpfull. the rc18 sounds like a really tough rc. do you know how fast the mamba comp x goes.does i was also wondering if the car rolls over very easly or is it because it was going so fast

discgolfer72

in stock form its a awsome handeling ride with the comp it gets a little touchy with the 9200kv motor its like trying to drive a car on ice lol

with the right bats i think people r seeing 50 mph from the comp x


the drive train is awsome

but dont base the overall strength on my vids im running the full factory team alum kit
a-arms /shocks/shock towers /dogbones/motor heatsink+i have the lunsford titianum turnbuckles here r some pics i did have the rpm front bumper but i riped it off filming vids the other day


the 18's are pretty tough stock i only broke one shock tower running a novak spy esc and baja motor and thats cause i drove under a couch and cought the tower but u will break allot of parts bashig in stock form withthe speeds that the mamba and thge c4 motors put out

fasthobbies

the rims look like they are tough. i made a mistake by buying the mini lst and one rim fell off and the other cracked but i was driving it at the airport and hit a big pice of metal
