hey Thanks emaxxn

yea the MGM can do 10S but it is lacking the programing functions, like Tekin RX8 or MMM

5S isn't bad
but 6S or 8S or even 10S would be Sick !


I did some gear changing
58 Spur 32 pitch
21 pinion
3S lipo 2250 30C, took from my crawler
The wheels burn out and has tons of Torque !
I think speed was 25mph

I think I drop in a 25 pinion or a 21 with 48 spur
but cant wait to have 6S lipo

Sorry for so many questions, I am a newb but reading and trying to learn

Before I break the emaxx diffs I'm going to throw in LST Diff in the rear
Is there a Spool / locker for the LST LST2 diffs ?

I heard that a rear Diff with front spool would help the sliding and progression of forward movement
So I am wondering what a Center Diff would do, any advice on this ?

I'm looking for ways to clean up and Lighten the the drivetrain
Does anyone have a Center diff ? like a Xray808 setup ??

I have been searching all over, it looks easy to build but now there is mechanical brakes which sound really cool, that would really make drifting easy with applying front brakes

starting to pull my hair
A little help here
Need a battery, doing lots of reading, but there never seems to be enough details, like in the setup thread, lacks aprox speed, tranny setups, amperage.

On the Tutorials by suicideden
1900-2700kv = 4s lipo
1700-2000kv = 5s lipo
1500-1900kv = 6s lipo

So does that mean I cant run 6S on a 2200 ?
can someone point to where you get these Nue motors at ? need to talk to a tech.

Castle said he did not recommend the MM combo with my setup.

I can only buy so much at one time, so battery is next, even though my 2383 Feigao is temp at least I have it.


Also read that "AM radios and BL dont mix" But I have no Problem with my 20yr old Airtronics 27mhz.

You'll need to decide what voltage your going to run then choose a motor with a kv rating to spin 30-35k.

Need some more help on Motor and battery

Is a 95amp max Feigao 2383 motor ok to use with a 160 amp battery ?

Looking at buying Two 5s 1s1p 3200XP 25c and putting in Parallel = 5S 6400 128 amps.

Or should I get a castle 2200 before I blow the Feigao 7XL ?

The feigao will get hotter than the castle motor. Hot stuff can draw more amps. The castle motor is more efficient, so it will make better use of the available power.

The 160 amp lipo will do fine with either motor. The 6400 5s 25c lipo is good for 160 amps cont, not 128amps.
