MBX5 T brushless

[lilian]

Hello,
thanks to this excellent forum, i've finished my first "big" conversion:
it's an mbx5 t prospec with the rcm motor mount, mgm 22418 and neu 1521/1d, a 4s evo20 4900 for now (5000 evo 25 to come), battey tray and esc mount are made of pieces of aluminium i've got; waiting for a rcm battery tray...
everything runs well, nothing under 120°F so not too bad i think, and the motor is a beast!!


some pictures:

Dude that looks great, I'm totally jealous and yeah that motor is a monster for sure.

[captain harlock]

Yikes!!! Is that a 1521 Neu? Huge, indeed...

Very nice Mugen MBX-5T..nice work!

MONSTER motor- looks like a ripsnorter!
I wonder what is the ratio of motor weight to vehicle weight???

[lilian]

Thanks for the coments!
rtr aproximatively 144oz for the truggy, and 19.9oz for the motor so the motor's weight is about 1/7 of the truggy.

very nice

Very nice. I love the 1521/1Y I have in my truck. Do you have video of yuor truck running? I still have to make a good video of the truck running.

Very Nice Mugen! I like it allot. Looks like it should tear up some track. Make sure to post the pictures of it when you get the final battery tray installed. Although... I think the one you have looks fine.

That is a serious motor you have there. I have a 1521/1y in my revo and love it as well. Powerfull and cool is a great combo.:mdr:

[lilian]

thanks,
no video at the time, will do soon.
The battery tray is there, just a little cleaning on the truck and i'll post the pics :smile:
Yes the 1521 is great but is a little hard with my lipo: about 120°F with a 5000mah evo25 after about 15min, what do tou think about it? is it to much?
I just bought 2 dewalt packs to see if a123's handles it better...

Seems ok temp wise. The A123s will be good as they can take the abuse.
