I have a stampede vxl on 3s lipo, and a losi raminator w/ axial .32, jp-4, & aluminum shoes. Both sides make good points, BUT the whole thing about nitro not having bottom is BS. my ram is 13lbs a will flip on it's back when if I nail it. nitro does take forever it seems to get going when it's new, & I will give it to my pede that it has been trouble free. I think nitro is the way to go though. much more power! I'd like to see my ram tied to that e-lst to show what I mean!
No, my friend. It will not. Nitro is inferior to brushless electric. need proof? Youtube it. More torque, better acceleration, and much higher rpm capabilities. my emaxx, with the MMM speed controller, and Neu motor will wreck a mgt 8.0 or any other stock r/c monster by faaaaaaarrrr!
Let's see a vid of your so called ride! I think you are full of s**t! I love brushless, and ofcourse it's faster and has instant torque, BUT not as much as an 8.0. If you tie the bumpers together, the 8.0 would drag it down the street. Once though tires start they don't stop.
what are you talking about i ment you can just go and drive you nitro any time you want just dump some fule in the tank with electric you still have to wait a good 30min to at least drive the thing and they do have enough power they just have to wind up if you knw what that means
I don't know about others, but I keep my lipos charged and ready to rock all the time. No need to wait if I want to go and drive.
Yes, nitros need revs and are somewhat useless at the bottom end, with brushless electric you have massive torque straight from the start and they just keep going to the max revs.
Undergeared... lol. You people know nothing about throttle control- if he nailed it it would flip instantly- a neu motor has more topend than 5 nitro engines put together. FineDesign sell converted LSTs. As for a Plettenberg BigMaximum- the neu is just as powerful & efficient & about the same price. Nice work btw.
True. Though thats because they tend to run hotter than the neus because they have a higher kv rating, so draw more amps for the same voltage which makes them faster, but hotter too. That said, you can custom order the BM with more windings & a lower Kv rating; great motors....
what snapplane said. I reckon run it heaps taller, maybe u need to run 4s2p so your batteries dont explode though, i imagine that massive truck is going to be drawing a lot of current thru that little esc.
Where did you get that roll bar thing?

It is a nice vid, and a nice truck. I like to see people do different things just to see how they run.

that brushless neu motor would tear you little .32 axial a new one. plus it will handle 6s lipo. it's no vxl motor buddy!

I was going to say the same thing! I have two trucks: E-maxx 16.8v and the LST2.

and electric you have to charge but nitro you can just go go go
wirelesscps 3 years ago
erm... I presume that you have to refuel the nitro too - if you ever get it running that is. :)
If you don't mind all that noise, smell and smoke that makes you cry, nitros might be pretty good - if they just had enough power.
