BanditBuggy Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I am thinking about upgrading my brushed bandit xl-5 to a velineon 3 s system.I bash realy hard with it, so i am thinking to run dual fans (motor + ESC) on it.Does it have 2 output ports for fans? If not, can i use a BEC from the output to take double the voltage than use a Y harness to connect the two fans? Please reply! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonez Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 if you bash hard i wouldnt bother with the traxxas stuff it will let you down! not a case of if its when! i would look for another more reliable system like a hobbywing etc No need, i kick the snot out of my Merv and its never gone into thermal shut down, pretty good can and esc to be fair. you must be very lucky mate!

Tug Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 The Velinion system can serve you well, but is more prone to failure if run on 3s. There are cheaper combos out there, and they'll have far more tuning options. Actually, the Velinion has no real tuning options. Final thought, do you really want 3s in a Bandit? It'll be bonkers!

Tug Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 No, it's a Castle product, you fit your own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Escs bought stand alone won't have a battery connector fitted, owners are free to fit what suits them. Only a quick soldering job,although, I find trx tricky myself.... Likewise, some may come with motor bullets presoldered, most don't but connectors are usually included in the ESC box. If you ordered from, say, Modelsport, you could have them install a connector for you before despatch. Hth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pharrel Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I'd go for SC8 ESC with a decent Hobbywing motor. I got a combo for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
