Garry Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 To get those sort of times with those cells, go brushless - but you'll need more than £70. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hpi_matrix_stock Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 Buy some new batteries, that would give you a better run time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steameh Posted June 7, 2005 Author Share Posted June 7, 2005 im not after better run time im after more speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hpi_matrix_stock Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 im not after better run time im after more speed. ← Get a low turn motor and a an esc that can handle it then, make sure your transmission is up to the job though. What car have you got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 Speed = Less run time. A very good 10t motor will cost you £50 and get you upto 40mph with ease, but you will probably only get 8 minutes run time. A good 19t motor will cost you £30 and give you nice speeds of around 35mph and 12minute run time. Thats an estimate, I would say, get some good 3300 with that £50.

J C Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 Just get a gp 3300 pack for about 25, then use the other 25 to get a motor like the orion rush, or orbital Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 My Team Orbital 11t does 40mph, although it is geared very high, and takes 10m to pick up any speed, lol. What Speed Control do you have? What is the motor turn limit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Yeh, not sure why I put that as my 11t only lasts 5 minutes. Problem with having a low turn motor and budget batteries is that you get little power from them too, slower speeds aswell as bad runtime. I think a good 19t motor would be best.
