I owned an xl-5, the motor lasted about 6 runs on 6c nimh packs.... on 3s it might last 6 minutes. the titans arent very long lasting/
but hey id rather blow up a 30 dollar titan then a 250 dollar neu :lol:

Mine lasted 4 and I was just using Venom 3000mah NIMH

I smoked 2 of them as well. Matthew, what's the performance like on 3s?

I think the truck felt perfect on 3s with the stock motor, I also swapped in a 90t spur to gear down a little.
For a really awesome setup that is my favorite so far on the slash, I was running a MM with CC BEC, a Medusa 2200kv 50mm, a 40t Revo spur and a 11t mod1 pinion on 3s. The motor ran cool, battery was cool, ESC was cool, and performance was spot on. I then tried it on 4s, way too much power, it would wheelie!
