hey guys
i will be building another super soon, what motors, esc and battery do you suggest so that i will have alot of wheelspin and torque?

something fast xD

Mnster · 09-08-2009, 03:04 AM

55 turn motors, Castle Sidewinder esc, 3 cell lipo.

Clod will scoot along at a relatively fast pace, while also having enough low end torque for crawling.

I'd recommend 8t pinions.

hardhead · 09-08-2009, 03:42 AM

x2 35 turns mamba max 3 cell lipo 8t pinion

Dr.Frank · 09-08-2009, 04:15 AM

CC Mamba Max, 2 x 50T, 3s, 9T front, 8T rear

Greetings Frank

Szczerba · 09-08-2009, 06:08 AM

35T motors, 11.1v lipo, 8 or 9 tooth pinions, I'm using a tekin Fx-R and a electronic dig switch

keep the total rig weight down if you can, and keep the weight off the tires to reduce that rotational mass stuff.

joesbruiser · 09-08-2009, 06:11 AM

35t motors are a must.I would go with 6 or 7 tooth pinions to keep it smooth and a big 3 cell or even a 4 cell Lipo with the MM ESC

DeaDShorT · 09-08-2009, 06:55 AM

Hyperion 3013's, dual MM esc and 3cell lipo with the highest burst rate you can find. Stock up on metal gears and aluminum cases

sierradmax · 09-08-2009, 10:19 AM

here's a video of my clod. Two JPcustoms 35t motors, Two Castle Sidewinders on a single 3 cell lipo. 8 and 9 tooth pinions.

pitass · 09-08-2009, 02:02 PM

Now thats what i call an awesome super!

thanks for all your help guys

Szczerba · 09-08-2009, 02:15 PM

forgot about the little video i had. Little bit of wheelspeed at the very end.

It's about a 7.5lb rig with the specs above.

how do you guys think a 7t holmes motor would work on one?

I think the can is to long and it creates clearance issues with the lower links. I'd think it would kick butt otherwise.

JohnRobHolmes · 09-09-2009, 05:31 AM

The pullers do cause some lower link issues.

I run 55t on 4s or 35t on 3s. I know kamikaze ran 35t on 4s last I checked.

X2 for Brushless outrunners!!!

BM16's, dual Mamba Max's, CC BEC, and 4S lipo for me

.

racerx26 · 09-09-2009, 05:01 PM

and what pinion do you recomend?

Id like to see some video of it in action..

Agama · 09-10-2009, 12:43 AM

Dual Mamba Max's, stick radio, 7t, 65T motors, 3 Cell max amps. JP knuckles, TTR CVD's, Metal tubes, metal gears, Hand Brothers BTA. Titanium links. I still have plenty of wheel speed. I want to go with the 100:1 gears next. I like to be able to crawl. That's why I ran 180:1 in the 1:1 Jeep.

TheHeadHunter · 09-11-2009, 04:47 PM

Dual Sidewinders (save your money they are more than enough)+ 45t-35t motors +8t pinion +3s Lipo

The 3s lipos are a must if you want a Clod with some balls!!!

toy4crawlin · 09-15-2009, 06:59 PM

mamba max
3S lipo
Cobalt motors 7 or 10's
or 35's
or a pair of brushless outrunners.
I did not like my bm16 motor at first, I went 55 and they did not last very long. I think castle made some updates and now I love my brushless

55turn on a clod? -:?

go look at what Kamikaze did to his
