Brushless Lightning project
 

So i am starting this up to some versions that i have seen that are magnificant. The Truggy will be a Hotbodies Lightning pro-R which. The car comes as a built roller. The system will be a mamba max esc runing a Faegio 9xl. I will use an elevated motor mount to give me the most side room for cells. It will not be lithium. to be able to run more cells i will change placement of the servo and move it to the center. i need help on the motor. i need someone to cut it. but i will design it. so anyone who can do this please let me know. i am hopping for dual 8 side by side cell packs. i hope it gets enough power.

you got it truggy already or plan to get one. I have thought of one of these
myself. 16 cells on a 9xl should work nice. I think lipo would be nice for lighter weight.

yhea, it would be better but i dont hve that kind of budget. so, what can you do?

Good choice of motor and # of cells; i used this setup with a Quark 125b in my Lightning Pro and it worked really well.

Bye:018:

sweet. what were you runtimes and speed?
how much is that esc?

Feigao/Nemesis/Wanderer "XL" Brushless Motor 12 xl
how well would this work in the type of car i am using. i am looking for as fast as i can get. but no more than 65. i also NEED good runtimes.

the mamba maxx on 16 cells is too much imo.

You think the mamba can't handle the 16 cells real well.

I did a few speed runs with 16 cells and it didnt get any hotter than with 4s lipo orions. But like I said it was just for a few speed runs 16 cells is pushing it. Make absolutely sure you have a BEC if you try it and dont forget to cut the red wire:027: let us know how it works

And if your gonna be racing - then make the motor mount as low as possible for a low center of gravity - and you might ( depending on the thickness of the motor mount ) wanna think about supporting the back of the motor so that there is no flex up or down.... jmho..... Good Luck

Well, my speed was around 40 or so and i got around 20-25min bashing and around 10min racing.

here is the esc

you might want to use this heatsink with the Quark 125b

i will use a ubec

I am getting this roller for the holidays and i am planning on doing a conversion. Now i have come to the conclusion for the system, batterys and how i will mount the motor. but i now i hear i need a plastic spur gear, if so which should i use? Also is their someone out their that can cut out a motor mount for me if i buy the aluminum and mark the cuts? obviously for some sort of charge. Where can i get a heatsink for a Feigao xl series motor. i am using the highest one which i believe is the 9xl.
Another thing, can i directly solder the motor to the esc rather than using gold plugs? i know i can but will it be a good idea.

Will you please stick with opening one topic about this?

the heatsink can be purchased thru Mike, the owner of this forum, check out www.rc-monster.com

the wanderer XL (same as the feigao) comes standard with 5.5 mm gold plugs.

which one should i go with for maximum power and runtimes on ni-mh cells?motor will be a feigao 9xl
