cracked rotor on velineon

[dirt101]

you guys are probably right, thats why I always ask for your guys opinion. I also like the 9L becuase I can stick to 1/8th pinions. im still thinking though.

the 9L has a 5mm shaft but if you want to use your 1/8" pinions there are adapters, I only had a few so I threw them away I like the added strength of the 5mm

540 9L 2,731 RPM / Volt 1/8" Shaft

I found one with a 1/8th on offshore

The 9L would be good if you run 3S all the time. It'll be a dog on 2S though.

thats fine, really the only time I run 2s is at the track and its pretty tight. I really dont need that much power there.

9L+4s=

Velineon esc=

its not that bad but I would kill if it would run 4s.

the first time I ran my VXL Rustler the leads became disconnected from the ESC and I thought this is a total POS and I dont want to waste my time with it, bought a Castle MM and BEC and never looked back

[dirt101]

yeah I used to use the MM on my revo, but i parted it out then sold the truck as a roller. I really dont need 4s, I run 6400mah true rcs and my truck would get real heavy, and thats just to much power. i do miss punch control though. I bet I could control it with my 3pm but I just dont understand those technical features yet.

my esc did the same thing. I sent it to them and they sent me another one free of charge. those connectors are impossible to solder back to the board.

I think most VXL owners would be happy with the current battery choices for it if it would only work reliably without so many failures.

[dirt101]

do you guys think the VXL could handle a 1515 2.5d in a CRT on 3s geared for 25mph? I just want to run my CRT so bad, and my neu is coming in tomorow, but my MMM is on backorder. The VXL proved that it could run in my revo on 3s(geared for 24) but my revo was just running the VXL motor and it was much lighter than my CRT.

will the VXL run a 4 pole motor at all?

I did try soldering them back on but that was a failure, they had a series of pin point solder connections...to say I was disapponted was an understatement

[dirt101]

yeah thats why I said it was impossible. I spent like 30 minutes attempting.

that sucks after having mine for about a year, my lead just came undone, its been a solid controller for me up till now tho

[dirt101]

mine lasted 4 months then traxxas sent me a brand new one.

try sending it in. it took like 3 weeks but they did get it to me, but they sent me an invoice(FREE) that was saying they were out of stock. probably take less time now that they have stock.
