Twin Force Configuration
Here is my current thinking in terms of parts:
Twin Force Truck Kit - $200 shipped from TowerHobbies Servo - Either Airtronics 94358 ($100) or Hitec 645 or 945 ($40 -$75) Radio - Airtronics MX3 ($99) or Futaba 2PL ($75) BL Motor (optional) - Hacker B50 10L - $199 ESC - Novak Super Duty $150 or (Warrior 99amp - $199 or Schulze 18.97 - $350 if BL) Batteries - 6 cell BB 1.16-1.17 unmatched packs - $75(pair) x 3 ($225) 7 cell BB 1.16-1.17 unmatched packs - $110(pair) x 3 ($330) Charger - Duratrax Intellipeak - $75 TOTAL (Brushed w/stock motors) = $885 - $990 TOTAL (Brushless ) = $1125 - $1380 prices depending on battery pack sizes and ESC chosen for BL What do you guys think? Any other recommendations for current parts? Any recommendations for additional parts? Should I go straight to Brushless? |

Any other recommendations for current parts? Any recommendations for additional parts? Should I go straight to Brushless? not bad, dont think theres anyother parts, spring set..maybe? i would go to brushless, you only need one motor, and theres no cleaning of the motor you need to and you dont have to replace the brushes |
RE: Twin Force Configuration
Anybody have any experience of suggestions for other Brushless motors besides the Hacker?

RE: Twin Force Configuration
Well I got my truck kit, and I started assembling it :D
I've also been doing some more motor research. Now my list includes: Hacker B50 9L Plettenberg Maxximum or Bigmaxximum [X(] Lehner 1930 or 1940 Feigao/Nemesis 9L (If I want to go cheap :) ) Anybody own or have used any of these motors or have any opinions about them? Truck - Kyosho Twin Force - $200 Servo - Airtronics 358 - $100 Radio - Airtronics MX3 - $100 ESC - Warrior 9918 - $200 Battery - Probably a mix of 6, 7 cell BB NimH, and 14.8v Li-Poly ( 1 at first, very expensive!!) ~$300 - ~$500 Charger - I need a good charger that will charge both NiMh and Li-Poly, any suggestions? ~$100-$~200 Why are the batteries an chargers so damn expensive! The truck itself is $600, and i'm gonna spend that much to power it as well :eek:[&o] |
