froggy8 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 (edited) hi guys i am thinking about purchasing this and wondered which combo would suit this better or will the ones that is already in it be good enough? cheers Edited October 21, 2014 by froggy8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
froggy8 Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 Would the wp8 be too big for this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp79er Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Not sure what the standard is like as I brought a Vandal Roller... But if you are looking at the WP-SC8 ESC from EZRUN...then the ESC dims of 59mmx38mmx34mm might be an issue as my ESC is 48.5mmx33mmx32mm and its a very snug fit in the normal position (i.e. between the motor and Steering servo). Can't see that ESC fitting in the Vandal what so ever unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
froggy8 Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 This is what it will have Motor: 3650 12.5T 3000kV TrackStar ESC: 45A Trackstar Brushless ESC EC3 connector Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jp79er Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Pretty much what I have in mine....45a WP-S10E-RTR, 3065kv B/Less 4 Pole I would say get a bigger pinion, I am running a 23t but considering going up to 28t -30t on the pinion.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capri-boy Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 (edited) wp8 overkill Froggy imho. I've two of these, a pro roller and an used stock ftx in bits. there cheap n cheerful 1/10's - 60a esc should pair with any can the chassis can take fine. That's not to say you couldn't.... but 3S seems to kill these... fine if you wanna do a speed run.

froggy8 Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 Yeah 45 amp does seem bit weak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp79er Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Mine on 3s goes like stink, the only issue I have had (apart from poor driving skills), is the standard tyres pulling of the rim...Other than that I have put my 3s through it a good few times and has all held up fine...bit excessive for bashing though....

froggy8 Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 (edited) So you think my combo is capable on 3s? Edited October 21, 2014 by froggy8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp79er Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Looking at the spec, it says the ESC is 2/3s cell ready.....BUT see item in RED below, as the motor as part of the combo its 12.5T...not sure if that a big issue or not.. ESC Specs: Cont. Current: 45A Burst Current: 90A Car Size: 1/10th Battery: 2-3 Cell Lipo S-BEC: 5.0V / 2A Output Motor Type: Sensorless Brushless (2s 8.5turn, 3s 13.5turn - or higher) Size: 40.5 x 37.5 x 24mm Weight: 45g Battery Plug: Required On/Off Switch: Yes Reverse: Yes Thermal Overload Protection: Yes Battery Terminals: 14AWG size Motor Terminals: 14AWG size 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

froggy8 Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 I'm guessing the vantage shell will fit perfect on the vandal without any mod? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp79er Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I'm guessing the vantage shell will fit perfect on the vandal without any mod? That's my understanding...will be doing that myself at some point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
