Yeah, i was asking what forum it was on? is there a poster of CC aboard?

Was on radio-control-zone forum, Shawn Palmer is a semi-regular poster there. Has his own thread in the vehicle brushless section for Q/A's.

I was told the same thing as Serum about using the mamba max with 12 cells on a 7-9XL in a G2R revo, Not recomended

Wow! 120K! How does the Holland dollar compare to the US dollar though? Or is it just that much more over there (and why)?

Tax is killing. (we are all stupid enough to pay and pay and pay..) the goverment is taking about 40-50 percent from our pay-roll, we pay 19 percent of taxes over things we buy (food is 6 percent)

we have got a Euro currency, i calculated it back to dollars.

It IS stupid, since Germany is our neighbour country..

A minimum of 8000mah lipos and a Neu 1512 or 1515 will make 30 minutes. My truggy has a 12000mah lipo in it and would go 40+ min if I ever ran out the whole pack.

A 15 min main used less than 4000mah according to my charger at the last race. I have much more info on the setups in the "Jammin truggy" thread... and others.

Basics: MambaMax, Neu 1515 1700kv, 4s lipo, geared 12/49 to 14/49

This was about neu vs wanderer, not lmt vs wanderer..?

"lehners of the world"... I mean any high end more expensive motors.. Neus included :)

Sorry bout that Vette rant.. I'm sure some disagree.... he he

Serum · 10.01.2006, 04:18 AM

Well, quality-wise it's not a comparison that can be put down in those two sports-cars. One is budget, cheap produced, while the other isn't a compromise.

baseline is that you get what you pay for, and the neu motors are not 10 times the price of an lmt.

Again, they use segmented magnets, are 4 poles and they are build with better quality standards. did i mentioned they run more efficient on partial load?

Rtsbasic · 10.01.2006, 06:26 AM

M5 gets my vote, even if its a bit pricey and just a little bit ugly.

I think overall the Feigao is going to work out better for me. I know its not 4 pole, or using segmented magnets, and that its built by some guy being paid $3 a day in china, but I'm not racing only bashing, so I think I'm better off getting the Feigao, and saving the dosh for something else. From the sound of it the power isn't wildly different, just efficency and in turn the temperatures and runtime. Well my 9XL never gets to the temp point where I begin to get concerned about it, so I should be okay with the 8XL.. I hope :D

Thanks for all your input guys, if I decide to race an MT in the future I know which motor I'm buying!

Serum · 10.01.2006, 06:29 AM

A thing to consider;

I wasted a rotor on my 8XL with bashing. one magnet got loose (the S uses 1, L 2 and the XL has 3 magnets on the rotor-shaft)

When 1 magnets get's loose, you think the controller died on you. it's acting weird at first sight.

Rtsbasic · 10.01.2006, 06:35 AM

Aye I've had the magnet move on a 540-S before which made it act rather strange..fortunately Mtroniks warranty replaced the whole thing for free.

Camaro all the way...I hate BMW's and I hate little ugly cars that cost alot as well as have no hopups...I could EASILY get a Camaro to 600hp at the rear wheels with 10K....Not bad IMHO...

Rtsbasic · 02:20 PM

But..could you stand living with a car as ugly as a Camaro? Even the styling of a Peugeot 106 is better than that!
