rcsammy Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 yup the motor size is a massive letdown tbh i probably wont bother now.... was wanting to put a MM and feigao in one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hpi_matrix_stock Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Surely 380 was to be expected if it was 1/16th scale? No doubt a 540 conversion won't be hard, new motor mount maybe? People have done 540 conversion to Hpi micro RS4's before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slim19198 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Ok. stop screwing with my head!!! Some one please link me to what a 380 or 540 is!!!!

Indie Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 I gotta say the e-Revo Micro is really tempting should it be less than Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I iknow 550 is for e-revo and e-savage, 540 seems to be for on road, 380 seems to be for 1/16th!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garry Posted February 14, 2009 Author Share Posted February 14, 2009 Its as simple as that. Because scales aren't compareable over different brands or cars, in general: '540' is for 1/10th cars and trucks Smaller than 540 (400/380/370) is for 1/18th cars and trucks (micros) Bigger than 540 (550/600/700) is for 1/8th cars or trucks The number itself relates to the length of the motor.

Hpi_matrix_stock Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 (edited) I iknow 550 is for e-revo and e-savage, 540 seems to be for on road, 380 seems to be for 1/16th!!! I dont really think theres a guide anywhere, and sometimes 380 is the same as 370. Basically 540 is normally for 1/10th and below and 370 (or 380) is for 1/18th and below (down to 1/10th) There are also motors like 600, 400 etc, normally the number describes the length of the can. But in some cases such as a Feigeo 9 XL this isnt the case as it will go onto a 540 mount but is much longer then a normal 540.

slim19198 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Thanks lads, now I know that its a "non standard" standard that they set for motors :s lol, so, to sum up you need to know the motor size, turns, winds, brushed or brushless, amperage and more before buying, and to do that you pick a motor that MAY be suitable and google the rest of the information about it!!!! Good god this is like a nightmare to learn! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good god this is like a nightmare to learn! actually its a pretty standard standard the number is roughly the length of the can. so a 540 is 54mm, 360 is 36mm. I have no idea, however, why a 550 is about 1cm longer than a 540. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziggy122 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 yep thats y it only dose 40 on 3s this is a big fall down for me i whated a 1/16 runing 60mph with me only having to do the gears A 1/16th doing 60 is just asking for trouble it'd be quiet unstable due to it been soo light - and high CG 40mph is probably a good Ziggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt B Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 40mph will be enough for such a small car. My RC18T only went about 30mph but it felt so fast. Oh and there are some mental 380 size brushless systems out there, I was going to get one but I've forgotten the name of it. Plus Feigao do some L can 380 motors if you search hard enough.

TerrorTrooper Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Well, theres not anything up on the Traxxas site yet.. Apparently our cousins over the pond will be getting it early summer i think... If past experience is anything to go by. we will probably get it by late autumn or early winter.. This is just a pure guess mind.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garry Posted March 4, 2009 Author Share Posted March 4, 2009 Here are two pictures of the Traxxas 1/16 Mini Revo and Slayer that are production versions! These are not the mock ups that were at the iHobby show, but actually rolling/working vehicles show at the 1/18th scale nats! Price will be around $199 for brushed versions and $320 for brushless! Release date is looking like the end of March! This is the first time the full production units have been shown. Both come with dual battery compartments so you can double your run time via parallel connection or double your voltage when wired in series. Brushless speedo cell limits are 12 cell NiMH or 3S LiPO. The truck will be called the Mini Slash and not Slayer despite it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
