Awesome deal Crash. These things a poping up all over the place.

What packs are you going to run in it?

I am still learning the ins and outs of the electric game but, I am looking at these...

thanks bud

Crasho, give some serious consideration to going with packs in the 5000Mah range.

i paid the extra coin for the 6500mah hyperion & it was a waste to spend the extra cash. 5s was a killer choice tho. love the maxamps packs 60c

yes.

Mah Note- ive run my 5250Mah packs about 40 minutes and didnt hit cut off. That is a good-long run time for me & how i bash. If you were running racing and you were on throttle for 30 straight at a time there might be a benefit for spending more cash but when your on/off for bashing, the 5250's are a great choice.

IMO- the best way to get your truck going fast is to leave the gearing stock (or close to it) and increase the voltage (like to 5s). Increasing your voltage will not stress the b/l system the way that gearing can & is actually better than underpowering it.

I'm loving the 5s 5250Mah MaxAmps hard case set up. Lots of jam & the security of a hardcase pack.

Voltage/Cells in Series-

yep you can run 1x2s & 1x3s pack on your flux so long as they have the same: Discharge rating (c-rating) and Capacity (Mah). When all the cells are matched like this, they will discharge evenly (theoretically) and you run less of a risk of over discharge & catastrophe.

special note on braking- go easy with braking & maybe even dial your brakes down a bit with the castle link. braking pushes voltage back through the esc to the packs & could cauze a explosion. just need to be aware of it & all will be fine.

 

[Bankrupter]

yes.

Brand needs to be the same for the ohm of the cells N stuff too...

Wow. thanks for adding that. I take for granted its a "given," bad move on my part.

 

[frddyj]

1st run thoughts

FUN!

There is certainly something missing when you are use to hearing a Nitro engine for last 8 years. That being said, Brushless laughs at Nitro in the torque department. Simply brutal low end instant on power, too much in fact.
I went to lhs and purchased the castle link cable and reprogrammed the punch control to tame it down. Worked flawlessly. I will go back in for some more fine tuning.
Top end?
well I came from a Carbon Fiber ERCM Picco powered Savage so at this point the Picco wins there. Granted I have done no mods to this flux and am running the smallest lipos available, my Picco had more top end.
For me and how I bash, more low end is better then top that I rarely use. Theres no doubt the flux wil go faster, I am useing only halph of its capability rite now.
I will be pumping it up with more juice..................

[88gtanotchback]

dremel for a pc? good deal for you. lol looks like your having a blast crash. brushless is fun!

 

[redneck]

looks nice

that was not a literal statement.


it meant I use to time engines with a dremel

now i use a laptop

 

[88gtanotchback]

ahh lol thanks for dumbing it down a shade for me.

lol.... i was thinking the same

1st damage

tranmission gear #86097


this was do to either a abrupt stop(hitting fence, house and what ever else is in front of me) or hitting forward too hard while rolling backwards from reverse.

The rest of drive train is flawless.

I used one out of my old 2 speed same gear~

 

[frddyj]

you can upgrade that to a hd gear http://www.tcscrawlers.com/HPI-HD-DRIVE-GEAR-18-23-TOOTH-1M-102514-p-17468.html

 

[Crash]

nice

thanks fred
