What Powers Your Wraith?

[JohnRobHolmes]

I'm running HH BRXL with 20t torque master. Good low end but, a little slow for me. I have a Tekin RS with 21.5 Redline motor and 10.5 Redline Motor to try out. Has anybody tried a 21t brushless on stock gearing? How is the wheel speed? My buddy is running a 17.5 on stock gearing and it is really fast so I was hoping the 21.5t Tekin RS would be good.

You will want to use the 10.5 or 13.5 redline motor for your wraith. The 21.5 will be painfully slow, particularly on 2s. About like a 55t brushed motor. What voltage was your buddy running? Maybe 3s with the 21.5 won't be too fast for you if you think 17.5 seems to fast.

What voltage was your buddy running?

Yeah what he said:ror:
And his is really fast, the tires turn into pizza cutters:shock:

Is there any way you can get the low end torque from running this 10.5 with a MMP.I have speed but no torque. thanks

Quite cheap Components, but well working !!

i was looking at getting this set up or something similar wat kinda speed you get out of it and does it flip easy?

I got twin hamsters in mine...you should see those suckers go when I stomp my foot:lmao:

I'm just about finished building my kit and am waiting on a replacement for a defective tire and for my new rims to show up.

My electronics are installed and ready though.

Thunder Power 2250mah 3s to start with. My big 5000mah 3s I use for long distance hiking won't fit just yet. :evil:

Br00d 35t Onslaught motor, and a BRXL waterproofed. It works great.

Looking at getting a Tekin Pro4 for my Wraith. I want to run mainly 2 cell, I guess 3 cell if I have to. Not really interested in running 4 cells or more. What Kv would people recommend. I was thinking the 3300 Kv should still be fine.

 

[JohnRobHolmes]

I would agree, the 3300kv motor should be fine for 2s and 3s use. I will be trying them and stocking them as soon as they are available.

Really depends on what you going to do with it. For most, I'd go 3300, for slower crawling 17.5 redline. If you have low c rated batteries, the pro4 will suffer. Amp hungry motors they are.

So I thought I had this motor thing all figured out, I bought a cc mamba max pro and a novak 18.5 ballistic. But now Im not sure if this is right for me, we mostly do crawling and water crossings happen alot, I dont want to be the guy who carrys his across. I would like some speed but its not why I bought the wraith. any help here please, and I do know what the search button is for. thanks...

Search google for conformal coating, aerosol type. Open up the motor and give the sensor PCB two or three coats of the junk, probably best to do three thin coats and let it dry between each. Seal up any holes with silicon caulk, caulk the can when you reassemble, and hope for the best. The water will still ingress through the bearings, so you could soak the motor parts in corrosionX if you wanted. Bearings, rotor, and stator are the important parts.

Or I can order something from you and save this for another day"thumbsup"
what would you suggest I run 3cell most of the time and could keep the cc esc? thanks

Hey Guys, looking for some setup help.

Specs
Motor:Tekin 17.5
ESC: Mamba Max Pro
Servo: Hitec 5955TG
External BEC: Castle
Lipo: Cheap 2200mah 3s Turnigy

I was under the impression that with this combination I'd have a considerable amount of wheel speed over the stock setup. So far that is not the case. I cannot even get the truck to wheelie lol.

I first tried a 19/80 gearing. Thinking the gearing was to low, I tried 22/80 and now get cogging at low crawl speeds.

I've tried several different MMP settings, different timing, different RPM boost settings etc.. I'm getting nowhere. A buddy is telling me its the MMP. But it seems some are having great success with the MMP.

If anyone is running this setup, I'd love to see what you are running on your MMP settings and the gearing you have selected. I just feel this setup should rock and it simply does not. Thanks for any help!
