Rossyra Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 You sometimes get a bit more than what's on the label. I'm not sure with that battery specifically, but you can often squeeze out a few hundred more mAh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusty1103 Posted February 19, 2014 Author Share Posted February 19, 2014 Right guys put your leccy cranium in gear. Basically wanting a 3s set up. Currently running Esc: xerun 120a Motor: tenshock 411 sc 4600kv Me personally, I think that keeping the motor and changing the esc would put the motor under a lot of strain without some ridiculous gearing. Acceleration would probably so high that all it wants to do is wheel spin. So going to go down the new motor route. Was looking at this http://www.hpiracing.co.uk/piw.php?partNo=101731 What would the difference between the 2 motor ratings be like? Anyone had any experience with these motors or hpi motors in general? Cheers troops!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossyra Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 (edited) That's 540 size motor mate, your SCTE will eat that for breakfast. What's wrong with what you have? EDIT: Oh wait, your running 2S right? You won't go far wrong with a WP SC8 and something around a 3000-3500kv 4-pole motor Edited February 19, 2014 by Rossyra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty1103 Posted February 19, 2014 Author Share Posted February 19, 2014 Esc can't handle 3s with the 4600kv motor, it's only rated to 4000kv don't want to blow the esc. What does the 540 size mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossyra Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 54mm long can, it's for 1/10 buggies and tourers, ie lighter stuff How about even something like this, with your current ESC? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HobbyWing-1-10-RC-4x4-SCT-Short-Course-Trucks-3656-3400kv-Sensored-BL-Motor-/181321909013?pt=UK_ToysGames_RadioControlled_JN&var=&hash=item2a37a0c315 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mini-z-awd Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 (edited) 540 is the size of the can or motor you really want a 550 size motor something like the tenshock x802 six pole it will handle upto 6s lipo`s if you wanted to go mad and the one ross is showing would be good aswell but i would go lower kv something like a 3000kv Edited February 19, 2014 by mini-z-awd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

insanejim69 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Hi guys. I have been on the forum a wee while now, but its the first time in this section. I am James and from Aberdeen. Been into R/C cars for around 15 years now, used to race onroad Tourers in the 1/10 mod class and only this week sold on my Tamiya TRF 502X as I just don't have the time anymore for the serious racing kind due to my job and working nightshift all the time. I do however like a good fun day out running a few of my cars including my FTX Vantage that now seems to have more Tamiya parts than FTX parts lately and also my now restored 1989 Tamiya Madcap Anyone else on the forum active from up this way near Aberdeen at all?James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Wilson Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 My motor in my traxxas died today and that's my second one, anyone know of a good alternative that will go with the stock esc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossyra Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 (edited) You would be as well selling the ESC and buying a combo. I'm not sure the stock ESC will be up to much other than the VXL. Hobbywing WP SC8 + EZRun 3656 3400kv If you are killing motor after motor it sounds like you may have too high a pinion in use.

Pharrel Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 While sneezing all over my 5ive me and my dad managed to assemble the new engine yesterday. I've also filled the centre diff with 100k oil so hoping for much better acceleration and less tire ballooning up front. Might do some more tonight.
