Not my favorite system but It should fit your application well. MGM has pretty good customer service.

Well, I was trying to find a motor that would perform well on 6-8 cells, still have good torque, and get me into the 40mph range (hopefully high 40's)

I am also still considering the Feigao 380C-6L motor. Even though it is just 380 sized, I've heard it packs a punch and does very well in 1/10th scale 2wd trucks.

Or what about the Fiegao 540 8s motor? How does it compare the to the Lehner 5300?

if anybody is still having diff or tranny trouble with the Stampede, check these parts out

It would be a much better choice then the 380, hell we run 380's in 1/18. My personal favorite motors are made from Hacker and Plettenberg. IMO you can't go wrong with any them. Just something to think about while your still browsing.

Also, I have another ESC in mind but it's a little expensive (about $200), but the company is great, best customer service in the world.

which ESC do you have in mind.


Thats the same thing I was thinking about the 380 motor, but everybody on RCmonster says its great for a Rustler or Stampede. I don't think I will try it though.

The Quark Competition (80a). These guys are awesome, truly the best customer service I have ever dealt with. It can handle 18 ni-mh cells, and 6 lithium polymer cells. I have the 33a for my mini lst and it is great.

I just bought a Lehner basic 5300 motor and a Mtroniks Genesis Pro ESC. I can't wait for it go get here.

Sounds like fun!

I found them on Ebay NIB for $222 shipped so I just couldn't pass that up. I don't much about the ESC, but for that price I figured I would give it a shot.

-Inverted-

That's a pretty good price.

I did notice the ESC has a 8 cell limit.[] I wasn't planning on running any more then that, but I would like to have the option to run dual packs. I guess thats out of the question now though

This is some guys post on RCMonster about the Feigao 380C-6L motor I was considering before I bought my current setup.



Is the Feigao 380C-6L a 380 sized motor? or is it the regular 540 size?

As mentioned, it has a 400 size rotor, because of it's length & heatsink it has the size of the 540 can on the outside. I believe the 5800 is ~13-12T (some say 10T) performance. The 6L is more like 7-8T. Similar in power & amp draw to the 5.5T GTB. ~550watts peak (100A+ spikes) when you nail the throttle for couple secs, then goes to ~350watts (over 40amps) or so to keep zipping at 40+mph. This assumes 6cell. 7cell is better. Some use 8-10cell, but bearing life will suffer then.

The 8 cells is kind of a downside, the ESC I listed can run 18 cells. [8D][&:][X(][>:][:@]

That ESC you got there is a beast cadillac! Looks nice. It can handle a heck of a lot.

f150dan-- good luck with the BL upgrade. I'm stickin' with my 5800 for now. My dad just put a SS5800 system in his stampede, so I've finally got some competition!(I also set him up with RPM bearing carriers)

Yea, I had alot of fun with the SS 5800, but I was getting speed hungry for some reason. I'm gonna have to buy another truck now to put that system in. I can't let it just set and not be used.

-Inverted-

I don't own the monster, i own a smaller version. My 1/18 ESC can handle 15 cells [X(]. I was going to get it installed today, but I can't find any crimpers to get the connectors on the ESC.... []

Here's my new Stampede video finally

My buddy has too much stuff going on and barely had time to work on this video for me. But now its done.

gunnut

Great video f150dan [sm=thumbup.gif] That extended chassis seems to be holding up and really taking a beating. Your pede rocks

How worth it are the Novak brushless systems?? I know they are near $250, but that's alot of money for me and I'm savin' for a bronco at the same time.

Thanks gunnut, where else can I host the video from? I want it to play full screen.

gunnut

I've got the SS5800 and after about 4 months, it runs just as fast as day one. I haven't had to take the motor out once. To me, that is worth the $200 price tag.

f150dan--- I'm not sure where else you could host the video[sm=confused.gif]. I've been using putfile too

dustbunny1309

Very cool! Your pede is looking great! Seems like you need a wheelie bar or something though.

I spent a long while today cleaning my pede. All this dried mud and stuff was building up lol. Had to use a screwdiver to chip it all off.

I just got my new pede running today, I forgot what a good jumper they were,,,,, I just put some front bearings and ribbed tires on and getting the motro seated in,,,, soon to be li-po powered.
