Tug Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 That's insane! They're more expensive, double in fact, than what I paid for four new tyres on the van! Buy them! ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mond Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Yeah, I mean they look awesome and apparently are the mutts nuts but the price is insane. Also the width will hurt the 5ive Bs agility. Personally I'd use the 12S for long run times and tailor the power right down. 8S is quite frankly enough torque to move a 5ive as a tremendous pace but 8S is run times really lack something. Then you also won't need wheels costing 100 quid a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted April 30, 2019 Author Share Posted April 30, 2019 Yea I agree, the idea of the 12s combo was to “volt up and gear down”, I’m only looking for around 45-50mph top speed ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted April 30, 2019 Author Share Posted April 30, 2019 A pair of 6s lipos arrived and they fit well in the tray Also had some EC8 connectors turn up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 The batteries are in, it's a runner! Let's see it fly! Whoop! ? You could get it all installed and set up and calibrated, then lower the end-point on the throttle, you'll still have speed, but should have longer runtimes.

.AJ. Posted April 30, 2019 Author Share Posted April 30, 2019 Haha, looking at the ESC setting it has a throttle limiter you can set, also I plugged the packs into the esc to make sure it didn’t smoke on first start up and there was zero sparking even at nearly 50v and it all seems very happy ?

.AJ. Posted May 1, 2019 Author Share Posted May 1, 2019 Been doing the maths and I think the set up on 12s should pretty much be were I want ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mond Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Not quite fatally fast but brown trouser moment fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted May 1, 2019 Author Share Posted May 1, 2019 Still fast enough to hopefully run cool and not stress out the electrics, I may gear up once the temps have been checked, but for a starting set up I don’t think it will be far off ?

Tug Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Seems heavy up front? Although you will be trying to control an immense amount of torque! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
