Rustler 5s (Vid)

[Takedown]

Im using a VXL Tranny so Im fine... I customized the chassis to lose a little weight and to cut down on the draft under the chassis to keep it on all 4's. The chassis is still very strong. I dont notice any flexing.

I am glad that the hacker esc is working well on 5s. I had a feeling that if you disabled the internal bec, and did not load the motor too much it would be fine. Not sure if a rustler would ever be able to really load an 8xl though! Looks like fun, thanks for the vid!

I'm very surprised. I swear the Hacker car controllers only handled 3S lipos. I have a Master Car Race and I might give it some thought.

I say go for it! My hacker hasnt even gotten a little warm yet either. It always ran at about 50 degrees and its around 45 degrees outside. It seems as if its no problem for it.

I sure hope that the 64-63 size outrunner with the 53/30 size stator isnt going to be to much for it to handle. I doubt it will but you never know. If anything does go wrong Im headed straight for the MMM ESC.
