jony nitro Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 The 2028 is good for 10s so I would get the MGM ESC and the castle motor 10 s will be good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazzokajoe Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 10s is nice on the flat onroad surface, but is it actually useful for bashing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jony nitro Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 You can always turn the settings down? It's good to have it than not have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 I'm in Leeds, Joe - tend to bash in the park and more recently in the nearby woods, hence brushless as petrol would just cause too much upset The odd speed run may be fun, but with a shell on the SC will no doubt point her nose into the air, flip onto the roof and fun over! Not sure if racing a brushless is doable anyway, surely the petrol boys would get upset having a continual a$$ whupping Serioulsy tho, a good balance between speed and off road driveability is the best option?

Noj Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 Could be a good compromise tho, unless the esc proves to be a nightmare of set up and running problems....certainly a cheaper option than the Lehner, which is now a non-contender anyway....

Bazzokajoe Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 true offroad driveability = 6s, best ballance of both = 7s Speed and fast jumps = 8s, well thats how i work anyway Having a pair of 3s, and a pair of 4s lets me run them in combinations to give any of the above setups you can race (down to the owner of the track of course ), it wont be that much faster than a high end baja, mine is faster (but not that considerably) than most i've seen when running 7s, 8s it can eat almost anything going 10s is unnecessary weight imo... you'll only be spinning the wheels through a set of 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 All this leccy-badger talk is making my credit card twitchy, do I stealth buy the CC motor and get it up and running again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 Excellent Joe, that is very helpful info indeed. If you can't get off the line then personally I feel your fun cannot begin! Top speed is one of those things that you seldom get to try out.....or perhaps should be achieved more??? Not in the woods, too many of those mobile trees for my liking. Clive, what have we done here...then again should you ever ignore a twitching credit card..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazzokajoe Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 (edited) I've got a short clip uploading to youtube as we speak just to show the performance on 7s no spectacular edit or stunts edit: just remembered two things i dont like about the castle conversion kit one... the battery straps arent long enough for my huge batteries two... the fans in the shroud aren't replaceable without drilling them out... not great when you run in a gravelly place, as the fans get eaten not that the fans are really needed... or that they expect you to be running 8Ah batteries tho Edited April 17, 2012 by Bazzokajoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tug Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 If I did buy it, it'd probably rain for the next 6 months! Do I, don't I? I need mi badger! But then I'd be showboating and we can't have that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noj Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 I had a look too Clive..... The fans - look fantastic but not durable...... You've got to run fans tho, surely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 Not getting the showboating reference, am I being dim?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazzokajoe Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 (edited) if a motor is geared correctly (mine is ) it will remain cool throughout the run, no need for fans on a motor, these things are like 92% efficient if geared correctly the fans are just an extra measure to keep it extra cool in 5 minutes when the video is done, the run shown the motor didnt even get warm to the touch clives baja is the nuts... anything he does is showboating in neils eyes Edited April 17, 2012 by Bazzokajoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
