JayAVFC Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 Yeah that looks good for the price, and eventually I will upgrade itWhat batteries would you suggest? I don't need the best ones and the most reasonably priced would be best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayAVFC Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 Would these fit?

jony nitro Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Not really, get some 2s Zippys and use in a series would be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pieman5 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I have one of those hobbyking motors that ive never used (its exactly the same one but silver) Send me a PM if interested and i can save you a bit of money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCbutcher Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Has anyone done a dyno test with that trackstar 1900kv vs tekin 1900kv. Ide be intrested to see the results. Jay those turnigy black case lipos are a bad idea the plastic cases just shatter. I had a new one in a slash 2wd the end around the wires shatterd within 10min from new. Then i brought a savage xs with one included and that lipo was shatterd aswel. Maxamps from giant shark are pretty good value and the hardcases on those feel alot better and much thicker. But zippy has a great rep too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayAVFC Posted March 3, 2015 Author Share Posted March 3, 2015 (edited) Any idea what pinion size would be good for an xray xb8e, with a hobbywing 150a esc and turnigy 1900kv motor? P.s. Would this motor be better than the one suggested further up?

jony nitro Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 I wouldn't suggest a motor if it was not up to my standards, well the motor I used performed very well. Pinion 15/18 I'm out and not checked what spur this car runs normally 16 would be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neil.b Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Toro stuff is pretty good. A friend of mine has 2 of them and has had no issues. I run the LRP dynamic 8 2200kv in my S-workz and its super quick and has also been very reliable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayAVFC Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) I now have a tekin combo on the way, which leaves me to my next question, is this battery good? I will by two and run them in series, they are cheap and Brca approved.... http://www.hobbyking.co.uk/hobbyking/store/__49509__Turnigy_nano_tech_Ultimate_7500mah_2S2P_90C_Hardcase_Lipo_Pack_ROAR_BRCA_Approved_.html Thanks Edited March 6, 2015 by JayAVFC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil.b Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) I bought 2 of those 7.5 ultimates a couple of weeks ago, so far they have been excellent. They made their full sticker rated capacity on the first cycle and seem to be performing very well so far. I also have 6 of the 5.6 nanotech packs that are my most frequently used battery's, they have performed very well over the winter so I have no reason to doubt the ultimates will also be very good. Something else worth noting if you use bullets for your battery wiring is that these battery's use a 5mm bullet connection. Fortunately they also come with 4 to 5 mm adapters so you can still use your original wiring. Edited March 6, 2015 by neil.b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
