Mamba Max Pro with 6S and 6900 kv motor

Is that a 1/10 motor or 1/8 i cant find it in 1/10 anyone have a link?

tekin t8's are designed for 1/8 .

what kind of c rated batteries would I need to run that thing? I have 30 c 3s right now so i could Y two of those together and have 6s 60c. Its 40 MM diameter so i can just put some kind of plate under the tranny to raise it a little bit or cut into the skid plate some to install it. any other ideas?

Not quite. You could have 3S 60c with the batteries in parallel or 6S 30c with them in series.
You don't get to add capacity and voltage at the same time.

+1, one or the other, but not both........

[PowerCrazy]

OK understood. What cell and c rating would you recommend for this motor then?

[PowerCrazy]

Also what are the differences between the 1350 1400 1700 1900 and 2000 KV version? What would the advantages/disadvantages be of these?

[hotwheels000]

KV ratings are revolutions per volt applied. So the more voltage the higher the RPM of the motor

[PowerCrazy]

OK and does the kv rating effect the ammount of torque? How?

[hotwheels000]

I believe I read that motor can easily hit 80 amps.Not 100% sure on that.It will spike at a lot more than that if pushed.

When you are looking for batteries, you have to consider C rating and mh to get your amp draw capacity. A 1000 mh 20c will have 20amp capacity, A 3000mh 20C will have 60 amp capacity...then there peak or burst ratings...and consider the source and quality of the battery.....Its not easy or cheap to go big and have a safe reliable toy,there are a lot of things to take into consideration.If a person doesnt have a good understanding of all the componenets involved...they should not attempt it.Bad things can happen at 26+ volts

Usually the higher the RPM, the lower the torque. You can "gain torque" on a high RPM motor by using a smaller pinion gear.

Work is work, depends on how you want to work.

Think a big diesel engine, lots of torque, needs lots of gears to get speed.
Small 2 stroke engine, no real power, so spin the bejeezers out of it for acceleration.

[hotwheels000]

Torque is affected by many things including voltage,length and dia of the motor,type of constructiuon etc.... I am no expert,just know enough to get into trouble so I wont try and explain it any further than that as I would more than likely be giving clouded and some incorrect info.

Ok so im looking at the t8 1400. Should I go with the MMP, the MMP 1 cell or the RX8? (I already have a 6v Novak bec for the receiver and a CC bec powering my servo. thats why I listed the MMP 1c.)

[PowerCrazy]

And for gearing, what should I run? Currently I think I have a 14t pinion and an 87t spur. I also have an 88 and 93 t spur. And back to the batteries, what lipos should I run?

I like my MMP running a T8 1350 on 6s.

You'll have to run 32 pitch gears. The T8 motor output is 5mm and I don't think you can buy 48 pitch pinions in 5mm. I'd go with 62/12 gearing to start. Remember that a 62 tooth 32 pitch spur is going to be pretty big in diameter. Hope the rest of your rig can stand up to that much power.....

I'm running some Maxamps 1850mah 6s and they seem to be fine. I would recommend something in the 1800-3000mah range, but make sure they have a "c" rating of at least 35 to 40c, that motor gobbles up alot of amps at full throttle .

[PowerCrazy]

So I can run 2 of my 1300 mah 3s 25c batteries in parallel and they will be good right? Also I found the 48 pitch 5 mm gears at RC4WD

(edited)The two 1300 3s 25c batteries in parallel with give you 2600 mah 3s 25c pack. Effectively a 12 volt pack with a 65amp rating.

Well, since I recommended an 1800mah 35 to 40c battery.....f**k NO. You need to listen if you want advise. I can almost guarantee you will puff those batteries. You are also going to be stripping all the teeth off your spur gear if you run 48 pitch gears with all that power.

go for it. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE VIDEO GOING. We ALL wanna see this.

[PowerCrazy]

Damn I guess I meant in series............... so I would have 1300 mah 6c........ You guys are kind of asses lol but it''s ok I guess I deserve it......... I'm just trying to learn and the only way I can do that is to ask questions. Trust me I use the search function a hell of a lot and I'm eager to learn. I already have a badass course built. Now if only my steel tranny gears would get here so I can go crawl on it......
