Brushless Savage, Q's

I am thinking of converting my Savage to brushless, I am wondering if a warrior 9918 and 9L motor or a Mtroniks Truck and a 9L motor would be a good set up, and I will be running on 12 cells, I want 35-40mph with good torque, and not to hot preferably, will thos esc's work and also is that a good motor choice, or would something like the 7xl be better?

Welcome to the forums!

A 9920 on a 7xl with a UBEC with 12 good cells (gp3300, gp3700, and ib3800) will get you to the 35-40 mph range.

Thanks, can that mtroniks esc handle the 7XL, and are there any opinions on that esc being good or bad?

[Sylvester]

The mtronics esc would easily handle it.

[Mike.L]

why do you prefer the mtronicks then the 9920..?

[Sylvester]

Maybe he has it in his possesion already..

I dont have either, but I am wondering is the 9920 enough esc for the 7XL, like how many amps does the 7XL draw, I just want to be able to hit 40 on 4 cell lipo in a savage, can the 7XL 9920 do that, also how would it run on a 3 cell lipo?

You would be better off with getting a 9920 then!

[Sylvester]

Oh! A 9220 would be my choice over the mtronics.

All On The Same Boat! :)

Ok, well ima start looking for 9920 then, also for the motor which is a better choice do you think the Nemesis XLT motors or the Feigao 7XL or 8XL, and what speeds will each provide on say 14 cells, 14 cells will prolly be the most I would put through.

i hav 8xl on mine and quark125 and it runs fast not sure about the actual speed but on the first run my sav flipped ..i was running 16/52 ..now i ran 16/49 and i think its a good set up..im running dual ib3800s

Ok, so im thinking of the Nemesis XLT-1 or the Feigao 7XL, which do you guys think would be the best blend of power/speed/runtime. Thats kind of in order of importance, but I am gonna be running around 4000 mah packs and would like at least 12 minutes of runtime is that possible with those two motors and which would you choose?

[Mike.L]

ifn youyr running 14 cells then an 8xl will be good.

[Sylvester]

8xl on 14 should be good. On 4000mah 12 minutes of racing is close to the capacity. Should be fine though.
