The 5000 30c has a higher safe continuous amp draw then the 3800 35c . The 5000 30c is the one to use in this case as it supplies more amps continuously . Hope that helps .


Hum makes sense il need to do that math the next time . So it sounds like i should use the 5000mah 2s/30c than i know manfacters make up the C ratings just look at Maxamps

The 5000mah is much newer of a lipo anyways.

I have the STRC chassis braces on my SCTE now if I decide to get an aftermarket chassis not asking which one I'm not getting into that can of worms but would I still babe able or even want to use them?

Hey Aj

I run the esc not the motor i run it with my tenshock 5200kv which is ridiculous.... you could use that esc in your scte and it would fit a whole lot better

I can't comment on all the chassis but the TLR chassis has holes for the torque rod and the stock chassis brace assuming the STRC uses the stock locations it would work fine on the TLR chassis.

It would be really stiff! Unless thats what you are going for.
I have heard many who have gone with aftermarket chassis, most go back to stock chassis braces. Thats what I did and I may not put my STRC aluminum braces back on!

Whats the differents from the torque rod vs stock brace ? (for handling characteristics) I just order a TLR chassis but torque rod brace was back order.

Personally if i were you i would pick up the hobbywing 4 pole 540 motor and sct pro speed control. Thee 550 is a heavy motor and the 540 is lighter and faster! Thats what i have!

The torque rod allows the chassis to flex less. With the stock brace you might pop your rear center drive shaft out.

The torque rod will give the chassis a little more forward to rear stiffness but allow the rear end to twist a little. We have been using the torque rod most everywhere. If the track gets really rough though the stock brace will give a little more chassis flex and may be a good tuning aid to soak up some more bumps or give a little more traction in really low traction conditions.

You really only need the torque rod if you are running on such a high bite track that the traction causes the chassis to flex to much. Otherwise you are better off just running the stock brace. I had a long brace on my Jammin Chassis and the car would not get settled in turns and would break loose trying to turn on power. Put the stock brace back on and all of the sudden the car was easy to drive.

I was considering the 5200 411 tenshock to go with my xerun 120. I am currently running the 4000kv 401 tenshock. It has enough torque that it would probably be better suited in an even heavier vehicle. Just wears the tires out if I try to accelerate to fast. I was thinking that the 5200 would have a much smoother power curve and more top end than I will probably ever need to use.

Could you post what your experience is with the driveability of the 5200. How hot does it run? How low are you gearing it?

Im heading out to the track this evening with the new setup and deal weather plan on running a few packs through her so ill keep you posted on how it runs... But ill tell you from sensorless to sensored what a different feel and its so smooth i love it out in the yard and on the street enough torque to lift her and the speed she flies nice mix!

I would tend to disagree with you . From what I have experienced with the TLR chassis the torque rod lets the truck rotate better without getting too loose . At least on all the track conditions I have encountered so far . I would run it with the stock brace and when you can get the torque rod try it out they are cheap and easy to change out . You might like it I do .
