Revo BL Conversion questions

[Sammus]

Cheers thanks for the info. I was a little afraid of getting a lower turned motor because there seems to be a lot of people saying they are prone to running very hot. I understand that they are going to run a little hot being a lesser quality motor and all anyway..

If I have the older mamba max (yet to crack it open and check, but I'm pretty sure it is I bought it the day they released the 6900 motor) are they known to run on 5s ok? If i do the 'stage 1' mods that is..

I am holding out for MMM, but in the meantime I'm wondering if it'll work without frying it :) I read a post of yours (i think) elsewhere stating that most 4s setups wouldn't have a continuous draw over 80A, based on that I'm guessing a 5s1p lipo pack constructed from 4000mah cells (rated to 25C continuous, 30C burst) would give pretty respectable performance? being 5s lipo I guess I'd go for the 9XL - which would give about 34k rpm... and gear it from there (16/38 or 17/38 perhaps?)

I've read a bit on running 5s with the MM but nothing conclusive yet...I guess I should just buy the cells and try it, im pretty confident (and competent hopefully ) at pack building so I could always just pull apart and make a 4s2p or something...hmm just speaking my thoughts now lol, any comments from those more experience appreciated :)

Well the mm definately works on 4s, not sure about 5s. Personally I like 5s setups, and I run a 2000kv motor in a revo with a tekno kit on 5s 5000mah 20c lipos. I get about 35mins of runtime and everything stays cool. I use a quark 80 airmaster, with the stock mech brakes. If you are staying with the mm I would go with a 8xl and 4s lipo, possibly a pair of trakpower lipos wired in series, 4s 4900mah. Real good lipos, I run them with both a 7xl and 8xl in revo based trucks.
