[Matt Donalds]

Unfortunately you're several months late nos

TWSS!! Sorry, back on topic! Nick, this'll be an epic project, hope you have plenty of output yokes

MGM sent me this. So I think connectors must be very important. The ESC does use crazy amounts of power though.

Time to take the deans off.

:rofl:

Haha, that made me laugh

[carmst74]

Think i may invest in a couple of them connectors. Where you buy yours nick

[carlcurtis83]

They look like the Castle bullets, possibly just a little longer.

[Nick]

Yep, the Castle ones will be sufficient, I'm going to stop at Maplins though and see if I can get them a little cheaper to do my batteries and series/parallel connectors with.

Maplin stuff seems good enough to me

[hazza1304]

Urm. Yeah.

[Nick]

Some good dremeling later and she's in!

Absolute monster.

Also got a Rustler RX box that mounts at the front, hopefully the ESC will fit in the gap between motor and servo but I'm doubting that.

Using a Traxxas Motor Plate, the Performance one, a lot thicker, should hold up well!

Just read through this thread.

Makes absolutely no sense what-so-ever to put a motor like that in anything less than a 1/5th.

A standard sized motor on 3S will be more than 99% of drivers can handle, anything more the chassis will tear itself to pieces and you'll be driving on 1/4 throttle.

So totally pointless, absolute waste of money.

And i love it

Subscribed and watching closely for updates

That's because it's the first one off the line. They go retail in December.

I will have it Wednesday/Thursday I hope! I have a preliminary spec sheet that has photos on but I'm not allowed to show people.

You won't be needing fans

Did a test run just now, in the dark and wet. Video tomorrow in the day... (I hope).

It was on 3s, gearing 20/52! Very dull setup, just for testing, however...

I wish I could swear because there's only a select amount of words that could describe how insane it is. Absolutely mental. I've not had anything like this and like to think I've had some mad setups in the past (RC8Te on 6s...)

Power is ruthless. There is no feeling of resistance, it goes anywhere and everything very quickly.

So happy with it, this is only on the MMM ESC, so can't push it. Can't wait to gear it 20/36 and put a big fat 6s in! So excited.
