Ammo in a revo?

[Revracer]

Actually... Just before I ordered the motor I got convinced to get a Mega and absolutely love that motor. The 36-56-2600 is a 9l with a different can basically though. I have seen a video comparing the two and there was no difference. Same gearing and everything. Sorry guys...

The XL motors get warm pushing a revo around... This is alot smaller motor. It will probably overheat. My friend had one on 3s in a 3905 Emaxx and it lasted about two packs.

I just did a test run in my E Revo with a 36-50-2600 Ammo motor.

Power is there! You can't hit wide open throttle without doing a standing backflip. Wheelies at speed, rooster tails of gravel, the whole nine yards.

The only thing is, on 4S 5000mah 20C Lipo and geared 20/68, it does tend to get hot after about 10 minutes.

I'm not running a heat sink yet, but will be running a heat sink and a motor fan to see if that helps. I may still be geared a little too high. Top Speed is up there.

I can tell it's pulling some amps since I'm detecting some heat from the 125 amp Quark Monster Pro.

Quite the Peppy Motor if you ask me. I just have to get the gearing right and the temps in check.

Are you running an actual e-revo or converted? And from what I've seen, every motor in the world is going to get hot after about 10 minutes of hard running... Do you have any videos of the truck? Or will you be taking any?

I'm running the actual New E Revo that was just released.

I know the inrunners run warm, but if geared properly I believe they should keep temps in check. At least in the 160 to 170 range. Cooler than that would be even better, if possible.

I may make a few vids of the truck once I get it perfected.

There are several motors here that I have on hand. Plans are, to try each one until I find my favorite, most powerful setup.

The Nemesis 14xl I just took out of the truck is going to be hard to beat. But it needs to be fed on 6S. So until I get my Monster Mamba, I'm going to set the 14xl to the side and see what else I can come up with.

Instead of the 20/68 gearing, maybe 16/68 would work better.
