-BEZ- Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I fail to see how a 90A ESC will be effective in a 5kg 8th scale buggy or truggy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Plus the fact it weighs nearly 5kg itself. So essentially with a LiPo it wouldn't be far off Baja weight... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyronn Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 lol 6S joking........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitroholic Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Plus the fact it weighs nearly 5kg itself. So essentially with a LiPo it wouldn't be far off Baja weight... It doesn't It says FOR USE IN BUGGIES/TRUGGIES/TRUCKS UP TO 5KG Still...have to wonder if 90A max is enough. 6S with that does sound like a problem waiting to happen as well. The question for me, though, is whether ANY of the amp figures quoted for ESCs are actually properly measured. Does an XERun actually handle what it claims? Does this?

.AJ. Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 TBH running 6s will be easier on the esc than running 4s, geared for the same top speed running on 6s and 4s the 4s setup will pull a lot more amps, as the old saying goes "volt up, gear down" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad-Co Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 LoL waterproof but do not get near water. But if you do, rinse off with water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 TBH running 6s will be easier on the esc than running 4s, geared for the same top speed running on 6s and 4s the 4s setup will pull a lot more amps, as the old saying goes "volt up, gear down" True, but if you "volt up and gear down", you'll still pull more current than a sensible 4s set-up.

Just realised with the way it was cut off how I got confused I wondered how the hell it weighed 5kg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCbutcher Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 It wouldnt pull my revo 3.3 then last time I weighed that it was 13lbs says wii fit resisterd as a dog lol. It makes me wonder if people think about that when doing 1/8 truck conversions. I dont see why they've made this set up tho isnt the mamba monster the king, will this be a cheaper alternative or replace the mamba it just looks like a mamba max pro with a cap pack fitted and different motor case. It will be intresting to watch how this compares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
