thanks for helpin us out johnny. need to get that power flowing so peeps can have water, medical equipment and everything else.
let that be a lesson friends, never underestimate the power of mother nature imagine seeing this flying through the air?
those packs are supposed to be sweet.
either the 45c or 65c would rock the savage. if your a savage basher, the choice would come down to spending the extra 40/pack for the bit of extra jam you'd get.
the higher "C" rating means the cells will have lower internal resistance which means...
i say you buy 2 good packs and run them in the truck the way the mfr intended it to save yourself a bunch of headaches and money.
and now that i know your plan, you can't get 8000 Mach 80 c using 4000mah 40c packs.
you can get 8000mah 40c running in parallel (although idk why you'd want...
are we talking about a stock flux here or something that youre going to build up with parallel packs?
you need to get reading threads on here curious. i think you mean 4 cells in series which would equal 4s (physically 2 packs). if you ran 4 packs in series, where would you put them and you...
in terms of how much amp will be delivered over a given period of time, yes its alot. these #'s don't directly answer your question on speed.
the savage flux runs 2 packs in series and the voltage is a deciding factor in how many rpm the motor will turn. here is a simple formula:
kV x V = rpm...
this question is not easy to answer. the only parts ive broke on my flux so far is blowing out the crappy 10x16mm bearing on the old version diffs and the plastic mounts for the battery boxes. I plan to buy the alloy upgrades for the batt box mounts but theyre $70 + ship.
but, i run 5s not...
i would get the model with the 2.4G Transmitter & Receiver if you don't already have one.
other than that, just save up for a good charger and packs then run the truck, replace what breaks and make upgrades to change or improve the feel of the truck to your liking.
oh yeah, parts will break.
any r/c model will break parts. flux on 6s will add tons of torque and speed so when you crash, your gonna have that velocity and weight of the truck .... POW!!!!!!!
yes.
possibly. this is something you would need to check as it pertains to the individual truck or diff. there are threads here that can guide you through it once you get the savage and determine if shimming is needed.
Theoretically the Amp & discharge rates you listed would be enough...
+1 to this and before you apply the loctite, clean the threads of the grub and pinion with denatured alcohol to get rid of any machine oil that could be present from when they cut the threads. allow to completely dry, then red threadlock, & let set for 24hrs.
ive not lost a pinion yet.
