Insight into 2350 Flux equipment? - RC-Monster Forums

08:45 PM

Hey Patrick, im dying to know some more details into this new Q-base ESC and Alpha star motor for the Savage 2350 model. What can you tell us about them and some comparison differences compared to the Flux MMM other then 4s vs 6s so I can pass along the info to other people interested in it buying a 2350 vs a HP. Thanks!

Err a MM Pro with a different sticker and a smooth can motor that is between a 1515 and 1512... I'm guessing its a 1514 1Y

bdebde · 08.06.2010, 02:19 PM

Or a 1415...

The MMP can handle 6s though....

Muggydude · 08.06.2010, 03:27 PM

Or only 4s? Not sure?

MMP is 6S but with this 'hotter' motor and its in a MT they are saying 4s to provide headroom.

Incite should be spelled insight.

Incite means to stir up or put into action, such as "To incite a riot"

Any reason why they are doing this? Seems like a step backwards. I guess there are alot of people who are just fixated on 4s being the best thing since sliced bread...

Would have made more sense to stick a 1600kv motor in the flux and max a true 6s capable truck, geared for 45mph or so and pushed toward the serious bashing crowd. Like a "Savage XD" or something like that. Of course the savage platform is a bit weak in some areas so maybe not a great idea...

Maybe educate people that higher voltage and lower kv is better...

They did it so people can buy one for $500, instead of $640.

lincpimp · 08.06.2010, 08:49 PM

They could put a tamiya silver can and a mech speed control and rate it for 2s... Sell for about 300 bucks then... I guess people with no idea will buy them like hotcakes.

My guess is cost. the ESC looks identical to MMP, no doubt, but the motor... I am not sure Patrick makes it. HPI might has found a more inexpensive Chinese motor with okay performance.

It might be one of those top-secret motors he couldnt talk about around the same time 1518 / 1717 was being released- some info would be nice though on that motor for sure..

IMO it's not a Castle motor, look at the endbell fixations screws : lateral screw (very fragile system).
I would bet on a low cost chinese motor like feigo or hobbywing EZrun motor...
HPI marketing... Another big toy RTR, "Ready to Repair"

The ESC is a Mamba Max Pro, HPI special version.

The motor is a low-cost version 1517. (a few changes from the standard version to make it much lower cost to produce.)

The endbell screws are exactly the same as on the 1515 motor -- never seen one broken -- ever. Just we used them on both the front and back of the motor to lower costs (the front-endbell screws moutns on the 1515 are really expensive to machine -- lots of time on the CNCs)

wait; so this motor is LONGER than the standard flux motor? why is the kv higher?
