Why not run castle system with savox servo.
I already a Savox 1257 (from memory can't see buried in truck) and was looking another motor. Currently have hobbywing 10 turn and was thinking of geting a system with a bit more power. do they play up without BEC or ?? or do i get castle or similiar motor and keep hobbywing 70a esc. |
My Sidewinder has no problem with Savox servos, but my MMP needed a BEC. My girlfriend is using the Sidewinder/3800 combo in a Hyper with a Spektrum 6040, and not a single hiccup.

hey all. ive been on order for the f.t. since back in january and even though it seams to have been delayed a week or two i need to start thinking on it.
ive seen where there has been talk about the weight bias/balance (not sure the word for front to rear) and the nose up in jumps deal due to the location of the motor. ive seen the counter to some of that is some have used a 540 motor (and successfully) or the tekin 4 pole motor. but then it dawned on me. has anyone seen this ft in person at any races yet (im not lucky enough to be regionally positioned to see one of these new ones yet) is the saddle pack that a.e. done moved the batts forward enough to counter the weight of a 550 motor? or should i keep on the plan for a 540 motor for weight. its an indoor track maybe 60-70 foot strait. |

Steve Hartson an AE driver ran one and it was friggin dialed,. He ran on an indoor track. Go with a tekin pro 4, its beastly yet still light.
What are your thoughts on running a 550 with an exotek chassis? would that balance out the jumping more? thanks, |
550 are way too heavy. This truck is light it doesnt. Need that much torque.
Nobody here is running a 550 with a exotek. Tekin Pro4 all the way. Revtech came out with a sensored 540 can too which might be even better. Go with the ft kit, vet started, run that setup and see if it works for add the chassis if you have to. Gotta start somewhere. Even a simple mmp and cc3800 is eplenty. I have a brand new mmp if anyone wants it. Pm me |

ok here is my setup.....
front 30000 front diff white sway bar 25 wt rc shox 1.2 yellow front springs -2 camber ball stud inside on tower 24mm ride height upper shock #2 hole lower shock mounted outside on arm clicker locked Rear 7000 diff orange sway bar rc shox 1.2 22.5 wt yellow rear springs -2 camber ball stud inside hole on tower w/ 2 flat washers under inside hole on caster block 24mm ride height shock mount #2 on top outside on arm running barcodes..... work perfect on my 2wd any ideas? Those two I usually play with when I have issues with rear grip, pretty much start with the lower a-arm hole by moving the shock inward when I start when I don't have time to adjust more conventional settings, at least, that what I did on all my other vehicles. My SC104x4 is using the inner rear hole so I can't comment on the outer right now.

The worst combo is the castle esc/ savox servo/ and spektrum rx.
If this is you. Best case, use the $5 cap. Worst case, use the $20 bec. Let's not over complicate this. I'm hoping we can help Vito get a move on, with his project.... |
I thought white springs were stiffer, now that I know they arent Im ordering a pair. Thanks Cameron Kellogg Ive seen the light. :eek:
|
thanks Jeff. i havent tried tekin yet so i might as well give them a whirl. will just have to wait another payday since none of my esc's that i have will power the 4 pole. (i think one of them will but id rather have a sure hit then a lets tinker and see if it will run) ill more then likely try and mimic matisworks' set up. he has helped me with my shock tuning so ill start with that as a base. ill report back as it gets closer and what i end up with

Yea the Tekin wasnt out yet.
Some still run 550's, its really preference. They balance them out with simple lead weights. |
[QUOTE=Vegatron75;10473761]I would seriously think about the Sidewinder SCT 3800 system. It will fit your needs well and it's very affordable. Castle has decent customer service if you have a problem.
You should only have to solder the battery connector on. $135 to the door, w/ the $5 off coupon and a free t-shirt.... Sounds like a winner..... http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...le-1410-3800kV[/ thanks i have a mmp esc and 5700 motor in a 22 its to much. ilke to try a new set up like novak new sc 10 4x4 kit. the mmp dose not pay well for me with my set up . i have a dxsc radio rx sr 300 ari sevo dont know the number of it and a eco 30 c lipo pack 2 s |
Anyone seen on hear anything about these motors:
https://www.ssl-stormerhobbies.com/c...=ns&pn=REV1311 They have a 3800kv one as well......... |
