cracked rotor on velineon

[dirt101]

I proabably would contact traxxas, but I just got a brand new ESC on waranty the same day I cracked the rotor. I doubt there was a whole lot of voltage sag because I was running my regular gearing on 2.5 inch tires, so I could have been above that.

i have been wanting to get a better motor anyways. nothing wrong with the velineon it just likes to get pretty hot. At the moment Im thinking about waiting until I finish my CRT then getting a 1509 or 1506 neu for it. I may sell one of my dirtbikes so i can really build both trucks how I want.

Would a neu 1506 have enough power to not overheat in a rusty geared for 55? or is a 1509 neaded?

Unless you've got some really trick stuff going on on your Rusty, IMO, it's a sad thing to install a motor in it worth more than the truck itself. While I thoroughly enjoy my VXL Rustlers, they're not worthy of a Neu to me. Just my opinion, but it's far too easy to get tons of power from a Rustler with a much cheaper motor in it than a Neu.

a while back I was thinking about going with a 1509/1y in my rustler and I agree with you about spending $250 on a motor. I came to my senses and went with a Feigao, the 9L is still going strong I think it helps that the rustler is as light as it is.
