XRay M18 Pro brushless system help
 

Hey everyone, I recently bought an X-Ray M18 Pro kit, waiting for it to arrive in the mail, I was just wondering I know most of you guys are familiar with the larger scale brushless systems but I need a little help. I want the best brushless setup there is, but I've no idea what that may be, leaning toward a quark esc 33a procar but I need a beast of a motor to go with it. Any suggestions? Money is no object on this car I want it to be COMPLETELY awesome. I need help choosing an ESC and a Motor but I want to stay away from Castle Creations as i'm not too fond of them. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

If the small Neus fit, I would get the 1110/1D. I use the 33A and the 8K motor from CC.

In which vehicle do you have it in? And how do you like the performance of the quark and cc?

I have it in a normal M18, well some what normal. The motor is center mounted and it has a Penguin chassis.

ah, seems like the 1110 series of neu's are pretty long, any suggestions if it can't fit? know of any hacker models that are "370" sized?

I use a 33A with a Hyperion HP22S-3000 and I know they make a 5000. It is a 4 pole design and has plenty of torque.

Check this out. I will buy one when it comes out.

Oh wow, I like that, it even shows the m18 as its test subject, I may just have to wait. And on another note I just helped my buddy install the mamba 25 and 8k motor into his 18t with foam tires and it flies, got a little hot but it was to be expected with the way he drives. Any idea of the dimensions of a normal sized "370" or "380" ? As far as I can tell from neumotors.com the size of the can is 1.14" wide x 1.8" Long with a shaft diameter of 3.2mm and an optional 2.3mm, shaft length is .75". Thats all the info I can muster up but I've nothing to compare those specs to. I'd love to use a neu motor as I've heard such great things about them and I know they work wonders with quark controllers, I'm willing to settle for less but this is def. on the top of the list of possibilities. Thanks for the help!

I think the 370 or 380 are 28mm diameter and that Neu is 29mm.

I put a Tekin system in my M18 Pro. It's nice smooth, easy to configure, and from what I've read in the specs, it'll handle 4S lipo.

I got a little ESC coming to me in a few days that handles 6S lipos and has a set up for A123 cells as well.

I had an tekin 6.8 on 4s(with no ubec!) in my rc18t. Super smooth. Now the tekin esc is in my MIST (mini inferno ST) with a multiplex 5200kv 4 pole motor running on 3s and it is even smoother(no hint of cogging at all ever!). I :angel:love:angel: this motor! Very high quality! Tekin makes a good esc; period.

Bye:mdr:

Sweet, you guys are awesome, but now there's so many options available to me that I didn't even know existed! Two more questions, what would be a really good charger for such small packs? And what's the best mini steering servo out there? Thanks for the massive amounts of info. you guys have already given me!

I use GH4700 with mamba 25 on3S lipo in my miniquake. and mq is very close to M18 in size.

I use Futaba S9650 servo
