brushless and lipo questions...

[ThunderTiger]

i dunno if u can wire it into any esc i'm sure you can't put 11.1 volts to that fan, anyone else know if it's possible and how?

Use a Small PC fan, something like that off an "older" generation graphics card would suit :

i don't know if i would be able to control this thing on 11.1 volts lmfao, on a cheap 12 dollar 7.2 volt 1200 mah pack it halls ass, the front shocks have already came apart i dunno how many times, ima have to upgrad them. it's took a couple of bad flips/hits. i need to get a good battery and see what it does, that was in a evader st stadium truck... i took it out and put it in my buggy. the truck has a 12 turn double wind motor now, and i geared it down. i'll have to see if it helps, i dunno....

it won't pull a wheelie though, it kinda gets up to speed quick and spins a little, but it only pulled the front wheels up when i took it over my driveway and it jumped and landed lol

either way the manual says you can't use 3s on here so i'm prob. not gonna try, i'll either buy a 4600kv motor or hope they will exchange the batterys...

I've got a slash with the VXL 3500kv and on my 4500mah 7.2v nimh it wont quite pick them up either so I'm getting some custom made 8 cell 5000mah and they should do the trick.. that or the 2s lipo will

well, the way the buggy is geared i guess or i ruined the batterys there dead after i drive it to the end of my driveway and back : /

just ordered another brushless kit, this ones a cheap one. it's 4300kv, andalso ordered a 2s lipo.

put my evader st back together with the speed gems 12 turn motor, and esc. also geared it down a lot more than it was and it runs really good too, almost good enough to run with the brushless setup....

guess i'll put the off brand brushless setup i ordered in my tamiya f150...

good thing theres a 2 year warranty, it just snapped the shaft on the motor in half where it goes in the motor can

picked the new motor up today, got my 2s and 3s lipos in and also got my cheap 4300 kv setup as well...
i'm curious why the 2s lipos actually out perform the 3s lipos i have, is it because i'm chargin them on 3.2 amps just like the 2s?

i got a 5700kv setup that is in a evader buggy, every time i give it throttle if lifts the front wheels off the ground and trys to ride a wheelie, with the 2s, with the 3s it's actually less powerfull. same goes for the cheap 4600kv i have in a evader s/t "it's less powerfull with 3s"
