maybe if i put a scoop like soya made except 5 times bigger on the back, when i goes fast enough, the air resistance will force the backend down causeing it to do a wheelie.

JitsuGuy · #**302** 09-03-2002, 12:12 PM

Does anyone know if there is video anywhere on the web that shows a brushless vechicle running? I want to see one go!

Thanks,
Jits

Thanks crono man!

Waiting, waiting....

WhoKnowsWho · #**306** 09-03-2002, 05:47 PM

Me too man... at least I have driven my maxx twice so far!

I know that once I get the motor, I will still have to wait a while for the chassis to be in stock at Stormer. Anyone know of anyone else who sells the Xtreme E-Maxx chassis?

k_sw31 · #**307** 09-03-2002, 07:58 PM

vids of hella fast boats at www.finedesignrc.com

Oh yeah, thanks for the battery wiring info just tried 2 1500's in paralell, it was pretty sweet.

WhoKnowsWho--You could try making one.

WhoKnowsWho · #**309** 09-04-2002, 08:04 AM

I could try making a lot of stuff if I had something more than a dremel tool to work on aluminum! I think I would rather make a chassis for my Clod or a mini chassis for something else before I made one for the Maxx. I don't have a problem spending $130 for the Maxx chassis, I do have a problem spending $230 for a Clod chassis though.

What's the easiest at home way to cut aluminum? Getting it isn't hard... there was that one website in that one issue about small amounts of Al stock. But I know there is something inexpensive better than a dremel or a file...

i just purchased a lehner basic 5300 and a warrior speed control from www.maximizerproducts.com.
i installed it in my xxxs to test it out i had it geared taller than i would gear a stock motor and it must have been going fifty. it was quicker than my dad rail with an eight turn ti on six cells.[/url]

Hey saw, exactly what kind of gearing were you running? I'm planning on running brushless in my XXX-S, and most people seem to have them in a truck . I'll probably need some really big foams, a la the Parma mag wheels on the Project SpeedStick in the Sept. RCCA, but if it will humiliate a .15 (or, heaven forbid, a .21) RS4 or Colt, I'll do it!

A jigsaw with a metal blade. Definitely one of my most used tools. Pretty inexpensive, too. And if you want a complete work station, a belt sander. Then, you can make anything (Like I did

)
Oh, and even maybe use a T-maxx chassis like I did. It's pretty light, and hella strong. It's cheap, and it lowers everything by about 1/2"

k_sw31 · #**312** 09-04-2002, 07:06 PM

hey soya, how easy was it to convert your e maxx to a tmaxx chassis?was it just a matter of drilling new holes?

SandManRacing · #**313** 09-04-2002, 07:18 PM

Maybe you should start a new topic about chassis mods. Since this one is about BRUSHLESS MOTORS.

Bye

k_sw31 · #**314** 09-04-2002, 07:24 PM

which reminds me. Does any one no how a bl motor functions? (frankly, i don't know how a brushed motor functions) a diagram could be helpful too.

SandManRacing · #**315** 09-04-2002, 07:32 PM

here is a brushless motor animation

And here are some animations that show the difference between Brushed and brushless motors:

It was quite easy. I only had to cut the hole for the shifting servo and drill the battery post holes. That's it. And SandManRacing, I haven't seen a thread yet that has stayed completely on topic

crono man · #**318** 09-04-2002, 11:50 PM

hey guys your bl motors will be running a bit longer...sanyo just announced their 3300HV cells

check it out on orion website

k_sw31 · #**319** 09-05-2002, 12:01 AM

yeah, i've had my eye on the SMC Gold Peak 3300 NiMH Matched Stick Pack 6-Cell for 45 bux at http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...1&I=LXCZV9&P=7

run two of those in a paralell, and you'll be out there for half an hour.

#**320** 09-05-2002, 08:09 AM

But I don't have a NiMH charger. Hence the 2400's

DamianD1 · #**321** 09-05-2002, 09:19 AM

Soya,

You usually can use a NiCd charger to charge a NiMH cell. You just need to be careful not to overcharge them and not trickle charge them. Once they are charged you should disconnect them. Never let them get hot. As soon as they get warm they are usually fully charged.

WhoKnowsWho · #**322** 09-05-2002, 10:28 AM

I'm probably going to get that new Digital Pirahna charger when I get some 3300s. For the price, it can't be beat!

Oh dang, off the subject again... yeah, those 3300s will sure help my BL last a long time when I get it!

#**323** 09-05-2002, 04:34 PM

I'll eventually get the Dynamite Dual-E. For my BL

mr_bonkers · #**324** 09-05-2002, 05:19 PM

Anyone have an opinion on --->This<---

Anyone have it? Can't buy online from UK via their website...

SandManRacing · #**325** 09-05-2002, 06:00 PM

Supposed to be available in limited quantities. But difficult to get.

The magnets are made of ferrite not neodyne. So it will produce less power... less punch.

The Vortex 10 should perform like a brushed 10 turns motor.
Orion want to offer a "free maintenance motor" not a more powerfull one.

Why wait for a less powerfull brushless kit when you can already buy a Hacker/Schulze or Aveox or Lehner kit. All those motor use neodyne magnets and they are produced since several years.

You shouldn't wait for the Novak motor either. I wonder when it will come out..... if it does.
