I was just wondering how much bashing time you guys get out of your pedes. My friend was amazed when he saw how long I get.

intelispeed 12T
Mag Mayhem

7 cell 2400 nicd = 20 - 25 min
6 cell 3000 nimh = 25 - 30 min

this is an average over about 10 cycles with each battery.
I was driving on a track I built
I was only wide open about 20% of the time

Wow, those are amazing run times. Maybe too amazing to be true??
I dont even get close to that with my Brushless which is much more effecient, and its undergeared by about 4 pinion teeth. Though i do know the mag is quite efficient, but not that effecient.

My setup...

Hacker B50
Kontronik controller

GP3300 Matched packs(SxS)- On road(WOT) driving: approx 14-16 mins. Off road, throttle almost always less than full: approx 15-20 mins
The motor is undergeared too, and it never gets very hot at all.
Numbers with my 2400 matched packs would be probobly 2-5 minutes less for each run.

All these number are approx.

Peace,
Jordan

Novak SS Brushless system

Sanyo 2400 7 cell: 8-10 min
Balistic Batt Sanyo 6 cell: 10-15 min

When I had my magnetic Mayhem installed I still got 10-15 min

**xchasecx** · 08-05-2003 02:39 PM

DuraTrax ISpeed 12T+
gp3300 vis matched stick
Kobal 13T
around 10-15 mins full throttle 1/4th of the time
with the duratrax 1500
full throttle none of the time around 5-10 mins

Venom 1800 mAh NiCd: 6-8 minutes

Rustler, but i thought i could shed some light

Novak SS 5800 BL
Sanyo 3300 11-12 minutes WOT all run

**xmans revenge** · 08-06-2003 02:14 AM

stampede 17/84 imex claw dawgs/ tamiya 20x1 sport tuned motor/ powerpoles/orion rocket 2000 pack 15 mins but i stop at 12 min

bandit 24/78 20x1/powerpoles/dirt hawgs pirahnna 1900 12 mins

epic 1500s about 10 mins
you guys getting 30 mins wow!alotta runtime at once is fun n all but aint those motors cookin?id rather stop at 12-15 let it cool down the throw in another battery

**dieldrin** · 08-06-2003 09:06 AM

My motor and esc actually stay pretty cool

Its funny with a 7 cell 2400 nicd the ESC gets hotter than the motor

with a 6 cell 3000 nimh the motor gets hotter than the esc

can someone explain this, I know it sounds weird, I've noticed it pretty consistantly.

Since I've been bashing in a more open area my run times have gone down by about 5 min

7 cell 2400 nicd = 15 - 20 min
6 cell 3000 nimh = 20- 25 min

Yay, a Megadeth fan!

14t SG2

Super Rooster

14/87 gearing (running lower profile paddles)

6 Sanyo 2400

No less than 20 minutes and as much as 35 on pavement wide open. I go through motors like a maddog, got lots of burned up ones.

Everything gets hot as **** except the esc. I love it.

**newfrontier45** · 08-21-2003 08:25 PM

I guess this thread isn't too old to bring back.

Rustler:
Super Rooster
Trinity D5 14x1 @ 12/90
Sand Paws
Ballistic 7-cell matched GP3300's

17minutes running the absolute snot out of it on dirt, grass, climbing, whatever.

**pedemasher** · 08-21-2003 08:44 PM

I have whimpy 1500 batts. 18-tooth pinion and 87-spur and get around 7-9 minutes.

this is an average over about 10 cycles with each battery

What exactly are cycles?

**COLEKO** · 08-24-2003 01:30 PM

I just bought my dad a stampede. Added 5x11 bearings to the wheels and deans plugs on the XL-1 and motor leads. Broke in the STINGER motor on a dremel using trinity comm drops and oiled the bushings. With EPIC 3000 batteries I timed it at 14 minutes on short grass running full throttle.

I seem to change my setup about every week. Not by choice, but because I kill another motor. This is my setup for now:

Stinger armature in Caliber can geared 19/93, a guesstimated low 30's degrees of timing.
Stock bald Rusty tires
Duratrax Streak
SMC GP 3300
Powerpole Plugs
lead finner

I, amazingly enough, get an average of 13 and a half minutes of runtime with this setup. I also get wheelies if I have the traction, even small ones in my Rusty. The motor appears to defy physics and passes the 5 second test with only minor burns at the end of a full throttle run, while at the same time providing awsome torque and speed. None of my other motors can come anywhere near passing the five second test after a run. I would advise anyone who has a Stinger lying around unused to open it up and stick it in a good can, the results will surprise you.

How do you kill a motor every week?
