Will This Setup Work?
 

HI everyone. I recently have run into an opportunity to acquire a pretty sweet car. I was wonder whether or not the MGM 80 controller could handle a Feigao 9L on 12 cells (2400 sayno). Otherwise what would you reccomend for good runtime and speeds at least into the lower 30's ? I would like to run this controller, because I don't have the money to buy both the controller and the car..... here's a picture



Yes, clean up that druel. :L:

well, the feigao has a current rating of 68 amps, and the mgm 80 can handle 80 amps... Providing you run no more than 12 cells, the mgm compro 80 should be fine

You have a lehner basic 4200 correct? Put that in and see how it runs. (It wouldn't hurt to try) I think you'll be amazed.

CF truggy. Nice!

The 80 amp MGM will be pushed pretty hard with a 9L. Run a fan and keep your fingers crossed.

I haven't made any purchases yet... Although I am thinking that It would need a new motor and controller, but after recently purchasing the lehner 4200 and MGM 80 its kind of dissapointing to turn around and buy a 9918 and Lehner 3100 XL... Wish they had some slightly used return haha.

Its a lot of money, so I'm looking at all my options. The xxx-t is giving me some minor problems, so maybe this is the break i need.

Hey Re Mix... where are you MN? I'm in princeton. I just got my bl yesterday. I have the 9918/9L.

The xl3100 or the 9L are too hot for this more of a direct drive.

I have seen this project, someone worked on it very long,

Try to figure out what gearin it has in the diffs.. (43/13 43/10 or what so ever) And what is the diameter of those tires and what spur/pinion are you planning on using?

I personally think it would be nice to run this setup with a 7XL motor on 12 cells. It would be rater easy on the controller and due to it's 50% larger magnet in comparison to the L size it will throw out a nice torque as well. But i like them being powerfull.. depending on your gearing/size of the wheels a 10L would do fine as well. (the feigao/wanderer L serie has got more torque than the lehner basic XL series..)

I worked with Andy a little on the gearing with this truggy. The 9L with a 13 tooth pinion and the 1/8 tires calculates into high 30s top speed with 12 cells. The MGM could probably handle it.

Really? I heard thet 9L was a little too hot for this car. So I'm thinking a 10L maybe. That would be easier on the MGM hopefully. I do have a fan to run, but I'd rather be on the safe side of things.

The 10L will work quite well also, but Andy and I worked out the gearing on a 9L. The 10L would be easier on the controller for sure. The 10L and a fan should keep you pretty safe.

Would a Hyper 7 TQ conversion be a lot easier on the motor then this chunk of metal? Im looking at my options, and while price is a factor, I'm willing to spree on the car and motor, but I already own a nice controller, so that'd be great.

That "chunk of metal" isn't all that heavy as I recall. I would guess the Hyper 7 conversion to be just about the same load.

You mean Andy from Germany?

No, Andy from Cold Fusion racing (creator of the CFR truggy).
