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.

I think your right. There is another guy that responded to same question but said the Fago cant handle 5s it will burn up the magnets

I do want the CC but I have noticed there are Black 2200's instead of the green. so I'm trying to figure whether to buy a MMM for $140. and try to get the black one for under $120.
a new combo with green motor is $158. delivered

Thank you for the Compliments

some latest pics
Losi Aftershock Diffs
Losi 2.0 truggy Front shocks are really nice, but I was misinformed about length. they are sopposed to be longer than Losi 8ight shocks, but in fact these shocks sopposedly 2.0 frnts are 3 /34" so I'm trying to find out what shock is 4" or between 4 and 4.5"

Been eyeing the INtegy revo upper arms to swap in for upper only
but both look so good it's tuff to decide. so I printed them out and put them on the car
what ya think ?

tape on tires to help see what the actual new tire width size will be

Yea I know Aluminum is not as durable as the stock or RPM, I was just going to do the uppers.

The Large arms that allow shock inside are (Integy) intt3122s for revo rear

the smaller sleeker ones are (integy) t3203, revo front but unlike the 3122 these do not have nylon inserts

NEW UPGRADES

Fitting Losi 2.0 muggy Diffs inside Traxxas emaxx and Revo bulkheads

Screw the dremel to make a round tube smaller, I used my drill press and an endmill bit- 4 flut .
There is a thread on how to fit muggy truggy diffs in your revo or maxx but it consisted of a lot of hand held dremel time and ugly finish

With using a Drill press you get a precise cut and finish in 2 minutes !

Here is how I did it, Lath process with a drill press !

1" Hose coupler at hardware store $.99.
cut off an inch or so and find a socket that fits snug inside

then clamp the the socket in the vise of the drill press so that you can rotate the coupler by hand

use a 1/2" endmill

then measure how much needs to be trimmed down. I eyeballed it then checked with a caliper.
turn on drill press and bring down bit and then just start slowly turning the the plastic tube to cut all the way around.

I made 4 pieces in less than 15 minutes

First pic
I cut the stub axles to fit the Losi side diff gears and still use Revo axle shafts
I replace the stub wheel axle with new titanium stubs.

To make Lockers for the diff and the new Losi muggy center Diff I cut a piece of aluminum and Delrin to fit inside the carriers which ties the left/right outputs to the ring gear
(note: I used Delrin because it was easier to cut and sand down in the belt sander and it was lighter by a tad.
using the Alum one for the Center

Nice looking adapter! I had a piece of sch 80 turned down to match the large ID on the bulk. And then had it paired off to the correct width. I did not bother to make the little step like you did, as I saw no need for it. Modding the front pinion support takes a bit of work, you need to turn the inside out to the OD of the nose of the lst case, then clearance the back of the collar to get it to fit against the lst case.

I also like the sectioned lst driveshafts. I see that you sleeved them, did you also weld it too?
