going brushless (savage x 4.6)

the reason that i recommend a lower gearing is that the flux tranny has the same gear ratio as the nitro tranny in 1st gear. when the nitro tranny hits 2nd gear, it gains a ton of speed.

Even if the supersimple esc fails its only $30 gone to waste...
Hopefully the tranny wil hold up with the cc2200kv which i plan to use.
Howmuch amps does the cc2200kv pull?

From our testing about 200A on 4S and 350A+ on 6S during acceleration. Average draw at top speed is about 50A on 4S, and about 80A on 6S (at 50mph.)

the cc2200kv motor is rated as a 120a motor, meaning that 125a or higher constant rate batteries are ideal. my KB45-8xl motor is rated as a 150a motor and so far, the batteries mentioned earlier are holding up well and temp at 100F after a run. my spare motor (KB45-12L, going in next week hopefully) is only rated at 100a.

according to a brushless "expert" i've been talking to, the KB-L series motors are about equivalent in power to the CC2200. the KB-XL motors supposedly have 40% more power than the CC2200 motor. the XL motor is complete overkill, even with the cheapo esc i am using. if i had a wheely bar, it would be doing standing backflips at half throttle. the only time i hit full throttle was when my slipper clutch was very loose. hopefully the KB45-12L will be a little less violent. i will be sure to compare it to the cc2200 motor at my lhs once someone finally gets their batteries for their flux.
