wraith 7k motor

[jaejw1]

wraith 7k.. holy moly.. i love this motor,, 12/49 is the gearing,,
yokomo
20mm wheels with crime fighter tires,, street asphalt,, default
settings on
esc,,

8000k mamba,,, pros- fast very fast,, down the back straight at my
local
track,, it would pop wheelies,, on the street it wouldnt.. 12/49 is
the
highest gearing i could reach.. to have lots of user power and speed..
cons- hot,, very very hot after use.. so hot that the bright green can
is
now olive green,, and only after a short use. the motor stopped
working...
and might have sent a bad signal to the esc because it stopped working
as
well..

7k wraith,, pros- fast.. usable fast,, tons of power.. and will do a
rolling wheelie on asphalt with no problems.. it even did a wheelie on
a
slick surface (the driveway is coated with some sort of concrete
paint),,
very cool to touch (you know exactly what i mean,, not extremely hot)
along
with esc.. from the temps after a complete run i could probably step up
to a
lower final drive for more top end, which i dont think i need..
cons- might wheelie continuosly while on the track do to traction ,,
will
bald tires on asphalt,, might easily over shoot a lot of the 10th scale
jumps...

i actually can not wait to get to the track to try this out...
hopefully
there will be a new layout and i will be able to try out some new jumps
i
hope something bi and nasty just to impress myself...

basically if you want speed and you dont want to destroy your mamba
8000
motor then give the 7k a try,, it is a 400 size can and offers the
same
user power as a 400 motor,, unlike the the much smaller mamba ,,

Im glad to hear that the motor is working perfectly for ya man.......would love to see pics of this wonder......and what are your settings for the motor, does the motor get hot like the Mamba bl motor.

[jaejw1]

settings are mamba default.. and it is cool... ice cold compared to the 8000 that i had in there,,, after playing with some equations i might even be able to go to 13/45 but that would be way too much ,, even 16/45 looks do-able.. but that would be insane

[alfred]

Well the only thing you can do is too try it out right, give us your feed back man.;)

[jaejw1]

well the motor ran great.. yes it did get hot,, but i was expecting that.. i also changed to a 13t pinion and it ran fine..

track conditions sucked arse.. it was mostly blue groove and i had a hard time getting traction in certain areas..

but the motor wroked great.. once the track layout is changed and the dirt is soft and fresh then i will know for sure.. i was wanting to race this friday but i dont think i can keep up with intermediate stock 10th scale trucks,, i would get owned for sure... and those brand new crime fighters.. they helped a lil but not a whole lot..

i should have a heat sink for the motor on the way sometimee this week..

You dont seem so happy at all man.......hey at least you did'nt break anything.

[jaejw1]

not happy because the track SUCKED..lol.. like driving on concrete.. too blue for me..

and i did break an a-arm.. landed too hard off the big jump..lol..lol. but atleast i was able to run about 3 full packs.. so i can say i had a good run.. others out there were impressed.. but i still have some work to do on it.. along with repairs..lol..

Yeah its hard to get your ride setup especially when the track keeps changing.:( But at least your happy with the motor.
