RE: motor kv question stampede castle

RE: 25c vs 70c lipo

Thanks for the replies. I run mostly 5000mah to 5600mah packs, so I guess I won't notice much of a difference. But hey, 50% off so I can't complain! I may drop in a mamba monster someday in the...

RE: Stampede 2wd diff question

Besides adjusting the shocks I turned up the punch/traction control setting on my ESC and it's helped ALOT. I usually use no punch control, but I tested the lowest, low, medium, and high settings...

RE: Stampede 2wd diff question

Thanks for the advice everyone. I thickened up the diff oil which helped keep it steady when the front lifts up. I added a 1/4 inch limiter to the rear shocks which helped A TON as far as keeping the...

RE: Mechanical VS Electronic SC

When I switched over to an ESC in my 99' Stampede, I don't recall noticing any less torque than with the stock MSC.  That was long ago and I haven't dealt with a MSC in 10 years lol.  I think with an...

RE: best brushed

I once put a 12t 540 in a Tazer 15t (15t limit) and fried it within a couple minutes.  The Tazer 15t esc is a cheapo, but I still wouldn't risk it with an xl-5.   Since you've got it ordered already,...

RE: brushless motor ?

I would agree, you don't want to go much over a 3500kv motor in a Slash 4x4. Higher kv motors are more for onroad cars with small wheels, you won't get nearly the torque needed to push a Slash 4x4....

RE: Converting T-Maxx to E-Maxx

Yeah I decided I'll probably just sell it or keep it and get a 3.3 or something. For how much it would cost for a decent 1/8 brushless setup it would probably cost more than a Savage Flux.

Converting T-Maxx to E-Maxx

I'm acquiring a mint condition T-Maxx from a friend for $100. It's an older .15 pro model but has many upgrades on the chassis and looks brand new (we rebuilt EVERYTHING). I'm not much of a nitro guy...

RE: Sidewinder on Rustler VXL

The Sv2 ESC with 4600kV motor is a good match for your Rustler. I have one in my Stampede and Rusty and it works great, though I'm not much of a basher, I generally drive onroad and on dirt/gravel....

RE: Tires / Gearing

You'll want to throw in a smaller pinion to make up for the larger tires. If you add smaller tires then you need to gear up to make up for the smaller radius. As far as whether the wheels are too...
