Muggy Suggestions
 

While I Just Finished My 8ight-b On Thursday And Ordered A Muggy I Will Be In Tomorrow. So I Need Some Motor, Gearing And Battery Suggestions.

At First I Was Thinking A Kb45 8xl But Now Im Thinking A 1521 1.5d Or 1y On 6s And 14-16 Tooth Pinion.

I Want Crazy Speed And Wheel Yanking Torque. I Want This Thing To Be Sick Its Goin To Be A Basher Mainly On The Street.'

So Give Me Some Input!!!

Well, I can say one thing, and that's invest in a stronger chassis. Either the losi hard anodized or the rc innovations, I recommend the latter.

As for the set-up, I think your looking towards more of a neu setup trying to make a 12 lb truck wheelie and do speed runs at the same time.

no comments im starting to think this isnt a good conversion LOL jk

I think you've got the right idea with your initial post. A 1521 1Y on 6s would be sick! Just make sure you give us a video of the beast when you're done!

def will make a video. I'm getting a 1521 and 6s battery this thing should be really sick also I was think about running my hydra esc and a mech brake way do u guys think I really dont want to buy another mgm cause I plan on stocking up on mmm wen they come out

The general consensus on RumRunnerRacing, a fast electric boat forum is that the hydra line like the barracuda and phoenix lines are only really 5s capable not the 6s in the specs. It seems to be like the Quark over here, some get away with it and some burn up.

Hope the MMM is not the same.

I ran my Barracuda 125 on 7s2p A123 cells with no problems. Like you say, I guess some handle the higher voltage better than others. :neutral:

If you've already got the Hydra, you might as well try it to see if it will handle 6s.

if you put this in the brushless area im sure it would have gotten more hits.

yea i already fried one hydra240 on 6s in like 5mins but im goin to try again with the new one cc sent me and see wat happens

yea i prolly should have started this in the brushless forum

I too am considering a Muggy conversion,is there a problem with the stock chassis?

from wat i hear the stock chassis flexes so u need a stiffer aftermarket one like the rc innovative

do u guys think a 16018 would be able to handle 6s in a truggy i have a extra one but i dont want to blow it up

It should be plenty for the Muggy, but if you don't want to risk the MGM, you can send it to me.

nah i've been have bad luck running stuff at its max

I got the 16024 to run on 6s, just so I wasn't running at max voltage of ESC.

The 1521/1Y is a nice motor. Make sure you don't run over the nitro guys, they tend to be "Hot Headed" when they get whooped by electrics :lol:. Just ask them to write the excuses afterwards, I know we will hear a new one.

lol ill definetaly do that

is a 9xl a good 6s motor or would a 10xl be more ideal

If it was me, I'd get the 10XL. The motor will be spinning plenty fast, and you can gear up if you want more speed.

yea i ordered to 10xl the 1521 isnt instock yet i get the motor and my neu 6s 4900 25c in tomorrow

wow its a big battery mike has the muggy im goin to run a 10xl after stripping it down and seeing how heavy it is im onlygoin to bash it ill prolly wont put it on the track im thinking of still gettin the 1521 for the 8t only because the neu motor prices dropped like 50 bucks

Is Mike making your motor mount?

yup:na:

Any new news on that motor mount? I want one for my Muggy, Im running a emaxx plate as of right now.

yea mike just finished the mount today. i think there goin to be $45. i cant wait to get my truck back. i went with the 1521/1y hope i made the right choice cause i wanted the 1521/1.5d but mike didnt have it(got to support rc-monster) ill gear up the 1y for the speed i need

You made the right choice with the 1Y.

im not good with a camera im not even goin to tryin to use a camcorder hopefully tuesday wen i go to the shop i can get a vid and clock it

Looks nice.

Looks good! If that motor was any longer, you wouldn't be able to plug it in:lol:

How do like the badlands on there?

yea the motor is long the 1527 prolly wouldnt have worked. the badlands r iight the balloon like crazy i might have to get some phaltine or some 40 series

I use the phaltlines for on road and 40 series bowties offroad, not much ballooning in either of those. I am happy with both for the intended purpose, but would like to find a better all around tire for both on/off road.

I might try the hot bodies slayer or ballers. Idk wat there called but it something like that there on tower hobbies.

i've been watching those aswell. i'm waiting for somebody else to try first.

yea me too the guy at the shop was suppose to order them like 2 weeks ago and try them but he didnt so i guess i will

hey guys im goin to get the video tomo ran it today it did 57mph which is decent i wanted it a little faster but it was hard to control and the street was kind of narrow. so make sure u check back tomo and lmk wat u think
