14s Brushless Savage

[mckrill]

This weekend I tried to put the large diameter HPI tires on the truck. The handling sucks - but the increased load on the motor seemed to do just good. I had higher current, which is logical, but it seem like the sweet spot for the motor was about right as well. The temperature ramp-up was slower compared to the smaller Truggy tires I have used before.



I crashed the truck during a rough landing, so it was a fairly short run..

Anyhow - I have changed the gearing quite a bit so that I have the same load, but the smaller Truggy wheels so I can do some serious driving and filming this weekend

I still haven't heard from Lehners, so I will have to use the typhoon for some more time.

However did I send a mail to Allerc, where I bought the hyperions with the history and some log-files etc. The cells are > 1 year now, despite my limited usage, so I did not get full refund, but at least I got a 40% discount on the new 45c packs. I hope to have a new 14s Hyperion set-up in a few weeks.. Hopefully the motor too
