Thought's about the C-50 serie's

[Re~Mix]

Higher quality can, better magnets and rotor possibly, could make a world of difference in efficiency. They have the same initial kv rating, although the feigao loses quite a lot under load.

I read on about the Schulze 18.61 and the C50 Series,? I am a newbee and still try to wonder what I bought I have a C50 14.4 maxx , I still dont Know how to set up the Schulze it has some little tiny switches in the rear of the controller in white with numbers, Am i supposed to switch those to work with my emaxx reciever stock or do i buy something else, it is wired with gp3300 two seven nimh packs in series when I plug it in it makes a strange sound, the motor moves slightly,do i need to buy something else please help.

Do you have a pic of your system on truck?
It makes it sound like you don't have it plugged into the receiver.
What are you running for bec power?

[swiftneed]

have to load some pics i plugged it into the reciever of the old traxxas reciever 2215 traxxas i also have a jr reciever, hmm sounds like i need a bec power what would that be ??

[Sneeck]

Yes you need either a receiver pack or bec. Mike sell's these in his store.

Did you try giving it a bit of throttle when you pluggen the batt's in? Sound's like the throttle isn't neatral and it want's to move. You can set this on your radio.

I've seen a C50 10L on 16 cells and it is seriously fast and powerful! I ran my 7XL on 16 a long side and it wasn't any competition (it was when I hopped up to 18 though :D).

Great motors, although not the best when they come to efficency I thought, if your thinking of maxing out the RPM.

schulze 18.61K is a piece of sh*t, I'd rather get the 9920 from Mike.. I purchased about 4 of these 18.61K a few years ago to power up my Dual 1930-5 Hi-Amp. on dual 18 cells... back then.. that was my first real brushless setup... and all of this was recommended to me by FineDesignRC's Chris Fine. Guess what.. they all fried.. and I sent them all back... I wanted to buy some of those c50 also, but I thought they were the same back then.. Icare-rc has some of thos c50's XL.. they're only a few bucks more than the B50's...

well i guess everbody has there opinion on certain items upon experience this is why and how i found this great forum, but after spending the money on the hacker and schulze i might as well use them as a learning experience to do what AQWUT did which was fry them so here i go, gotta go to RC Moooonster to purchase what i need to start, lets hear what i gotta get so i can purchase and fry LOl.

[squeeforever]

You will need CVD's, a steel idler, a UBEC, center dogbones, and probably diff cases and cups. Don't fry it....Sell it....They bring good money on Ebay so it won't be a waste. You might loose a few bucks reselling it but at least you didn't lose it all!

The guy that was linked to early on in the thread was ahead of his time. Or ahead of Castle Creations anyway.



Note the method used to hold it together. Just found it a bit ironic.

[swiftneed]

OUCH I heard of craftmanship but not only was there tye raps to hold it together but looks like vise grips while he was at it,,, if only he found rcmonster he wouldnt have done that ..... i prefer snapped and bashed oh yeah emaxx mash

[glassdoctor]

Looks fine to me... I don't think the zip tie is performing and significant duty there... I like the screw job. :D

[swiftneed]

thanks for the ideas squee will get some of those

[Rtsbasic]

I think the cabletie is just routing the cables. The repair actually looks really tidy. Made me think about doing it with a smaller screw for my 380-8t thats fell apart completely.

[neweuser]

the screw would make me worry about the windings a little...
