ansmann blizzard motor choices

[mikerobinson83]

will a blizzard run an ezrun 5-5t? or will i be melting parts all day long?

only 1 way to find out

Can't see why you will melt anything provided the diffs are properly shimmed and the car is ballraced.

Hi, read my thread: "Problems with Ansmann Blizzard- choose a X4 Pro". I used a Gm Dr. Speed 12t Delta Bl motor with a 2s lipo and the rear center outdrive (the cheap plastic part) melted completely! You can buy the center cvd's to solve this problem (30$ from Hong Kong)

HI Guys i run a 4.5 turn in my X4 but the blizzard does not have a slippy so depending how aggresive you are with the power it would be ou if you dont throttle jam.

Thanks

Chris

i would say you be fine with it when i ran my zx5 i had no problems with melting parts a bit of greese will solve any friction problems you may get here

what about the plastic drive cups on the centre diff?will they be able yo cope with the power,i think the motor rating is 6000kv

well 6000kv is more like a mild 6.5 so they should be ok like i said my zx5 (plastic fantastic) was fine

There is a Blizzard runs at my club with the Ezrun 5.5t - goes very nicely as well. It might have an X4 Slipper in there though.

was thinking a blizzard will get me racing quicker as i have motor (but needs a new esc) and i have stick packs already but was planning on dropping the slipper in as soon as money permits

just got to wait till next terms student loan then i will be back racing again
