well i think ill try the vxl combo, has anyone had any experiences with this and how good is it for an allaround combo?

Wasp26Jim · 06-21-2011, 06:12 PM

Have you heard good stuff about that combo in the honch?

minnesotamudder · 06-21-2011, 06:14 PM

ya i heard a few people use them and like them so, i thought why not. and if i dont like it, it can go in my shortcourse truck.

Wasp26Jim · 06-21-2011, 06:19 PM

cool

minnesotamudder · 06-21-2011, 07:13 PM

cant wait tell i start building this.

I would have to agree with Jim on this point, You have to decide at some point which ESC and motor combo to go with, and from what I have seen in this site as a whole, there isn't alot of people using the Vrxl traxxas stuff... especially in a crawler

.. as Jim said in an earlier post you don't see a "1:1 Toyota going 200mph though the mud" . Yes you want more wheel speed than what you have but you want it to be manageable not ballistic. You also seem very concerned with breakage. Well I think that is what we are all trying to avoid and why we have such a great site to come to and gain knowledge and take and give advice, what we do with such stuff is our own business, however, I believe that anyone who is viewing this tread and reading all the posts is thinking the same thing that I am... Bite the bullet make a decision and go with it. I dont think there are very many rigs on this site that are bomb proof but I believe that is what we are all trying to accomplish.

If you want to see what kind of difference voltage makes in a crawler, ask Irock or better yet

Now just imagine 5S or 6S

Just my

Ya cool

minnesotamudder · 06-30-2011, 05:32 PM

finally got the vxl system and put it in, all i have to say is wow

its slow on 2s then i thought it would be, but thats a good thing, its still got good wheelspeed, not sure about runtime or how much torqe it has but time will tell. i might need to get a 3s to se how good that is

minnesotamudder · 07-01-2011, 01:02 PM

well i pulled the vxl system back out today to put in my dads slash 4x4

now i think im going to go with a brxl, and a 30t or a 35t motor, but im not sure what 30 or 35t motor i should get. It will mostlikely be from hh, but im not sure what would be best in a 1.9 honcho. And i want to run atleast 3s in it.

speed king · 07-01-2011, 08:38 PM

that video makes me want 4s and a brushed motor ahh decisions

back on topis this thread has a lot of usefull info

no its actually becuse i took it out of my dads new truck to try it, but he wanted it back

it work really good it was about as fast as ur truck when i had a 2s in it, and it had really good lowend control.

minnesotamudder · 07-21-2011, 03:32 PM

well its been a while since iv updated, im about to order some parts and need help on a few things.
with the dmg rear 4link mount does that come with the hardware need to mount that to the axle?(if not what do i need), also im going to order a few 3s batteries but i dont know if i should go with a few of these
http://www.hobbypartz.com/77p-2200mah-3s1p-111-30c.html
a few of these
http://www.hobbypartz.com/77p-2650mah-3s1p-111-25c.html
or a few of these
http://www.hobbypartz.com/77p-sl2200-3s1p-20c-3333.html
without looking at the capacity would a 20c be that big of a diferenc compared to a 25c or a 30c?
also im not sure if i should go with the hh sport 35t motor or the hh expert 35t motor? With the price diference i could buy another battery if i went with the sport and one less with the expert, so i gess im asking would there be a significant difference?

minnesotamudder · 07-22-2011, 06:24 PM

any one know how i should gear a 35t motor?

Wasp26Jim · 07-22-2011, 06:45 PM

with a pinion and spur

Slaughter · 07-22-2011, 07:01 PM

Im running a BRXL and HH 35T Sport on 3S with the stock spur and 19T pinion. I just sold a Rustler VXL that I loved and am happy with the speed and power of my Honcho. Looks like he still has the combo selling for $109 which means the 35T is $10. If you don't like it, then nothing lost.

thanks so the 19t was good wheelspeed and torq?

federally · 07-23-2011, 06:44 AM

Have you considered the Tacon 1200kv brushless motor from Hobbypartz? It's $22 and brushless which mens water and mud are fine and no rebuilds ever. Plus a 1200kv brushless motor will have a wide range of safe gearings so you can mix wheelspeed and torque. Then just combine it with whatever brushless Esc makes you happy

Slaughter · 07-23-2011, 08:06 AM

There is no cogging with this unsensored motor?

Cogging is not an issue with good sensorless setups as long as the kv is appropriate for the application. The advantage of sensored is a smoother throttle curve, however you seemed to like the Vxl which is entirely innapropriate for an Scx and it didn't bother you. So an appropriate sensorless brushless motor should be right up your alley, especially if you wanna go mudding and get wet. Sensored brushless don't like water.
