What are you guys running in your truggies. - 09.29.2008, 06:00 PM

I just converted the Kyosho inferno truggy. I was curious about others truggies setups and if your happy with it.

I am running 4s on a MM/BEC - 1515 1y /s 48/19 right now.

The Axial .28 engine that I took out had lots of power. It's a big truggy so is it going to need more lipo to make me go WOW? I have the same setup on my G3R except it has the single speed tranny and spur/pinion of 56/26 right now. It makes me go WOW and we've been together for almost a year now.


What are you others using in your truggies? Are you happy with the power you have? Any recommendation (besides counseling) for me to put the spark back in my relationship with the truggy?

I'm running a MGM controller, Neu 1515 1y F and i'm using 46/18 in my XT8 and runs great, stays supper cool on 4 & 5s.

Highly recommend this setup, that a pair of High heels always seems to get the spark back in the relationship http://www.pierresilber.com/highheels14.html


Nothing!.. Hahahahaaa..

I've got a Medusa 36-60-1600 on 5s in my ST-rr. My MMM smoked during configuration so I don't yet know how she runs. Hope to have replacement soon.
Gearing is 18/50.

Ill swap you my 1.5d for your 1y it will make you go wow on a 4s lipo config.. in fact I can't use it in my 8ight conversion as it will be with teh smallest gear set for 60mph which is retarded. It is perfect in my erevo due to more gearing options.. 50mph is not an issue, but on the track 40-42mph is the best speed.

Thanks for the offer stum. I think I will stick with the 1y.

Thanks for the replies. I will keep messing with it. I really haven't put a whole lot of time on it since the conversoin. Been busy and got the 8ight roller right after hte buils. The speed calc give it around 50mph with that setup but it doesn't seem like it. It might just be me comparing it to the Axial .28 I had in it. That had a lot of power. If I was looking for a reason to go past he 4s line and get an esc that can handle it. It looks like the truggy will be the reason.

I love the 1515/2.5D on 5s in my truggy. Flat out powerfull runs very cool.

Same setup Monster Mike runs in his truggy too.


I can't decide if its more fun
to make it...
or break it...

Id love to run 5s on this exact setup, on my 4s flightpower 5000's the 2.5 runs a little hot, what esc are you using?


The problem with nitro's these days are that they arent brushless... LOL

Hot Bodies LSP pro with novak HV6.5 on 3cell

sounds underpowered but its perfect for the tight track we race on. runs cool with no fans and is soft on power

im actualy very happy with it,and its still faster than my revo conversion

I'm running a 2.5d/f on 4s in my e-revo racing truggies and took 3rd in the last a-main (geared for just over 40), but I don't think I want to pull it out and I don't want to run 5s setups.. my 1.5d should work great on 4s considering a 4.3 ratio, with a 50t spur and 13t bell I'll be at about 43mph. Should run great.
