9S1P A123 Rustler in the works

[snellemin]

Argh!!! The MGM let it's magic smoke out on 6s A123 with the same setup when I pulled the trigger, right after I plugged it in. Now I have to email MGM and hope they fix it for me.

that sucks, verry sick rustler, i thought my twin vxl powered 4wd rustler was over powered

Got the MGM replaced with the 10S ESC from Lutach. This ESC puts out more power to the wheels them the MGM did. I blew the old slipper setup, that the MGM could not melt. After some suggestions, I upgraded to the jato slipper clutch and it can't hold the power either. Current gearing is 17/56 with a tight slipper.

Snapped a dogbone again this morning after swapping the spring on the slipper clutch. Putting in a beefier setup today.

That might be the baddest Rustler I've seen. Man 9S1P A123 is nice .

Thanks to you Lutach. I have the urge to add another cell.
I peaked at 70+ Amps this morning.

I guess you need more power?

Man, you're having fun. I'm going to post something up in the ESC thread real soon and you'll see what happened at the end. The graph will tell everything . It just basically let me know the 10S ESC is very capable of powering a dragster for 2 sec. or less at a very unreal AMP rating for the 10S ESC.

How are the temps on your ESC?

[snellemin]

For the little bit that I have ran the ESC for, is was slightly warm and the motor last nite was 119F I believe.

Just finished a run cut short by a busted up shock and snapped axle. Power is immense. Datalogger showed 126A peak and 2434 Watts.

[lutach]

man, I might buy a dragster to see how the ESCs does. You're having too much fun with your Rustler. I still have to finish my SSG chassis/FLM hybrid Stampede.

[snellemin]

Rolling wheelies don't get old. I got too much air underneath the body causing me to cartwheel. I'll fix it up tonite. It's tons of fun now.

These were the calculated numbers

What a moneypit! Too fun...

[snellemin]

Lutach's ESC is kicking butt. It's dragrace worthy. It was able to pull my A123 cells down to 2V per cell(about 76C discharge).

These are the calculated peak numbers.





Here are the pics of the current setup.
