lipos in slash

[duneordie]

can I use 11.1v in stock slash? and what's faster 2150 11.1 V or 4000 7.4v? I know I need a LVC thanks

[Slasher]

11.1V is too much for both the ESC and the motor. If you want to use lipos, 2S 7.4V is as high as it can go.

[duneordie]

thats what i was thinkin, mamba will take 11.1 though correct? max or sidewinder

[Slasher]

The Mamba Max controller, yes. The Castle Creations motors are particular, though... some do, some don't.

i just bought one for my dad, and i wanna make it foolproof, any rpm's or anything out for them yet?

[SavagePede]

RPM's, as in the company RPM? If that's what you mean, the shock towers, front arms, bearing carriers, shock spacers, spring cups, and spur cover will all transfer from the Stampede/Rustler/Bandit over to the Slash. Since the Slash has its servo off the the side and not between the shocks like the Stampede, get a front shock tower for the Nitro 'Pede/Rustler. It has a brace across the top, which makes it stiffer. The rear arms are lifted from the Nitro Rustler/Stampede and the ones RPM makes to replace them don't have the shock mounting options the stock ones do.

now with a 2S 7.4V lipo am I going to see a big difference in speed perfomance etc vs. my 7 cell nimh 4200 ?

Nope.... They speed will not increase, but your run-times should (unless you got a 4000mAh or lower LiPo... )

Wow. Haven't seen mzs here in a long time.

[duneordie]

whats the best aftermarket motor, to run with the xl controller, like what is its limit? as far as 13.5 turn or whatever, looking at getting a trinity speed passion for it,

[Slasher]

The XL5 can handle as low as 15 turns.
