Project OverKill (hehe)
 

Hey Rc-Monster Users,
Heres my next/ First Brushless Project.
Quick Specs,
XTM Rage
1/18 4wd,
(fun part)
Mamba Max ESC
3s 2000 Mah Li-po
5000 Kv Trinity Brushless Motor
Ya, Over kill or what? Let me know what you guys think. :mdr:

what size can is the Trinity Motor, you dont need a MM ESC in an 1/18 scale....I have a RC18 with a Mamba 25, Hyperion yc-22(5000kv) and a FP EVO25 3s1500 pack and its all the power you would need

Which Trinity Brushless is it?

iam getting it 25 shipped from a member on here
yes i know the mm is more than enough power. thats the point, "Project OverKill" plus when i build my E-Revo (some day) i can use it

That motor is the motor that is used in the Trinity NOW which is made by Castle Creations

Correct ,but its made by CC, Hmm i didn't know that, thanks. is it a good motor?

That is a feigao motor. Looks to be a 180l size can. The cc small motors are 180s sized, IIRC. But they are all feigaos.

Hmm, iam so glad to have Smart RC People. because i though 5000 Kv would be a good balance between Acc.-Speed

Its a 280XL...

That motor is a bit small for the Rage IMO. It's barely bigger (+5mm longer) than a Mamba motor and those are notoriously bad for use in a vehicle that size. Even though it's cheap, you're probably going to have heat issues with it in that vehicle, especially on 3S. I'd suggest a different motor if you want it to actually live up to the "Overkill" terminology you're using for the truck.

Some motors that come to mind...
Neu 1105/2Y
Neu 1107/1.5Y
Permax Multiplex BL480/3D
Medusa 28-40-3400

Also, a MM is not needed for a truck that size...a Sidewinder is much more affordable and will work very well on whatever motor you choose. You also aren't going to find any 3S 2000mAh battery packs that will fit in the battery tray of the Rage. About the biggest you can probably sneak in there is a 3S 1600mAh Flightpower EVOLITE V2 pack.

where do they sell the 1100 series Neus......if you have a link that would be great, I thought the Mambas ran too hot, I have had pretty ggod luck with the Hyperions they seem to have more torque than the CC motors

thanx for the link it looks like the 1105/2y would be a good direct replacement for my Hyperion have you tried any of the 1100 series Neus?

I have not used any of them myself, but rschoi_75 has. I run a Permax BL480/3D in my Mini Quake...it's more then enough power for me. It's 30 x 50mm and ~4200kv.

Nice Quake, yeah, iam still thinking about the motor now,i might be getting a MM for cheap, so thats why i was gonna use it.
