What to do? The doubts of an RC addict.

[Petertje60]

My Pede 4x4 started with a MMP/2400 and has a MMP/2650 now. Nice amount of (I know, too much) power.
My Bandit has the MMP/2400 now, after upgrading from MMP/3800. I know, overpowered.
My Boss works nice with the VXL set. Don't need more in that one. Serious!
My Merv has a MMP/4600. Nothing wrong with that either. And overpowered.

With all the fiddling with combo's and four cars that are averagely overpowered (I seem to like it), there is this one poor baby which became a sort left over:



What do to, what to do?
Don't say I have to put it in my Boss, because that stays small block. Period.
No, I am not going to downgrade the Pede nor the Bandit.
And nope, car #5 is also no option (yet).
Sell it? Nah.

Hmmmm......
*looks at his Merv and checks the difference in length of the 4600 and 3800. Less than 3mm....
*turns the shaft of the 3800 by hand. Man, what a magnet.....
*looks at his 2500mAh 30C 2S SPC batteries.... 150A on 2S..... (or 75A on 4S!). .... around 1100W.... should be enough....

I know! It's a torque monster for it's size.... but hey, I got CVD's all around....

*puts it back in the drawer and keeps thinking....

I have a Pede 4x4, a Rustler, and MERV and have a 3800kv motor sitting on my shelf with no car wrapped around it. Kind of a shame not to be using such a nice motor but for now there it sits holding down the shelf.

That cracked me up. It's apparently an age problem!!
We even have the same 3mm shaft (I think). Lol. Mine is newer than yours

I totally agree that it's shame.

Mine saw duty in my Rustler and my Pede but both of those trucks ended up with a 5700kv motor in them.

[Petertje60]

Oh did you get a 4 pole in both?

No the Pede has a 4 pole but the Rusty has a 2 pole.

No the Pede has a 4 pole but the Rusty has a 2 pole.

Ah ok. Your Merv still has the Velineon motor, doesnt it?

Yes stock motor with an old Mamba Max ESC.
