does this set up sound ok?

[robgti]

Hi im very new to electrics and ive just bought a Tekin RS esc and Tekin 448 motor and im planning on buying a B4 FT and two trakpower 3200 2s lipos. Will it work together? Also would it be pretty quick if i gear it right?
Thanks

Yeh m8 it will all work together pritty much all electrics will work togerther (exluding esc's and motors) insted of buying 2 3200 trackpowers why not buy 1 5200 or similar and just top it up inbetween race's thats what most peeps do

and yes if geared right it will be fast however winning a race is not all about speed , its about racing lines and setup and smoothness at driving , trust me thats what it thought but now i have a slower motor and a good line and im winning more and more

Hope This helps

I dont race at the moment just mess about. Just want something pretty damn fast on a budget

[Rebelrc]

are you going to wire the two lipos together then?

[robgti]

No i aim to run just one 7.4v for now but will be moving on to 3s soon

[Rebelrc]

but the 5200 then

[robgti]

Will the trakpower 3200 2s 20C lipo be ok to run on the 448 motor? Well i hope they are as i have bought them

[JJ The Boat Wizzard]

Yes they will but they will not last very long and they wont be as punchy as a 5200, ON THE BACK OF THE LIPOS IT SAYS YOU CAN CHARGE AT 2C I DONT NOT RECOMMEND YOU CHARGE THEM AT 2C AS A GUIDE LINE JUST CHARGE AT 1C AND YOU WILL BE FINE AND THE BATTERY WILL LAST LOADS OF CYCELS

[robgti]

One C as in 3.2A? Never had lipos before so unsure what to do

you saying different make speedo and mptors dont work together? By your post your saying a novak motor woild not work on a nosram speedo.


Its perfectly safe to charge at 2c you reduce life slighty, dont see why your telling him they wont last.....

[JJ The Boat Wizzard]

Becuase charging at 2C reduces the cycle span of the batterys! READ THE BACK THATS WHAT IT SAYS!

[mark christopher]

no needto shout, im not deaf you muppet!


He never mentioned charging at 2c, you told him they would not last and started banging on about 2c!
You might want to try reading posts properly, i said its safe to charge at 2c it reduces life slightly, can you not read?

[robgti]

I think maybe he was talking about the limits of certain esc would not work with lower turn motors etc. Im use to charging in Amps so what would i charge the trakpowers at? The charger i have is a max B5 if its any help. Thanks

It's a shame you've bought the 448 motor because that is a sensorless design and it won't be able to use the extra performance and control that the sensored RS speedo offers.

As far as your cells go I'm sure they will be fine although a lot of people make do with just one LiPo pack. I'd probably spend the money on just one 5000+ mAh pack, as well as the added runtime it is also quite a bit heavier which means you don't need to hunt around for as much ballast to make the car handle.

I wont be stick with that motor mate. I plan on buying a better one when i can afford it. Im not that bothered about handling as i dont race just mess around.
