The Mongol Monster

[Mongol Pete]

Hi from Ulaanbaatar Tekno fans,

Our MT410 is ready to rip (once the new motor arrives) on 6s in the and of the Great Khaan! Was running a SkyRC 1950kv Toro motor with the Max 8 ESC on 4s, but that motor could not handle 6s. We'll now try the Max 8/2200kv EZRUN combo, a couple of HV fans, two 3s lipos and I'll drop from a 16t to 15t pinion. We shall see. Whatever happens, this body won't last so enjoy the pics while it's pretty.

Looking good, what body is that?

 

[Mongol Pete]

Hi Buzz,

It's the Delta Plastiks 2mm SCT body. It is lined with gorilla tape. The wing attachments are cut out from mud flaps, very strong! We shall see how it holds up.

 

[Mongoose]

Man, that body looks great!

What do you mean by the Toro motor doesn’t hold up to 6S? I think I’m running the same motor.

 

[Mongol Pete]

Hello Mongoose,
The SkyRC Toro 1950kv motor was fine on 4s, but this happened on the second run when I switched to 6s.

@Mongol Pete welcome to TeknoForums! Good looking Tekno MT410 you've got there!

 

[Dpricenator]

Dang, that motor just came apart. Great looking truck though.

@Mongol Pete welcome to TeknoForums! Good looking Tekno MT410 you've got there!

Thanks Sheriff,

You look familiar. I guess you're a fan of Amps and Barrages as well

Yeah, I think I've heard of the ECXForum before.

hello pete.

 

[Mongoose]

Wow, I’m going to have to keep my eye on mine then I guess. I’ve only ran 5S so far and it has seemed to handle it well.

Is this the one you are talking about?

That is the motor my Mongol Monster ate, yes. A decent motor heatsink and fan might be a good investment. I have ordered HV fans for my new motor and the ESC as well.

 

[Mongoose]

Thank you for the heads up! What HV fans were you going to go with? The Yeah Racing fans in Overkill’s “Bulletproof” thread looking pretty good.

 

[Mongol Pete]

I've heard that the Yeah Racing fans are top notch. I ordered 2 fans, a 30mm for the Max 8 ESC, and a 40mm with a clamp mount for the EZRUN motor (2200kv). Both are high voltage, high-RPM Maclan fans.

Good deal, I’ve been running around 160 with it and it really hasn’t been too hot here yet, hottest it’s been when I have been out is about 75. Pretty sure I’m going to need some fans on the 80-90 degree days.

What was the motor temp when it blew?

 

[TBuggy]

you need something that has the rotor wrapped.

Unfortunately I didn't get a temp reading. The only thing I can tell you is that it happened after a 10-lap race, which I won

TO be honest, the competition is not very tough here at the track though. They seem to really only take their 1/8 nitro buggy class seriously. I did still get a sweet KYOSHO carry bag for winning the open class electric races though.

Good to know TBuggy, thanks.

Any idea of the Hobbywing EZRUN 2200kv is kevlar wrapped?

 

[Mongoose]

No problemo man, I’ll just keep on eye on it and run it till it blows lol

Congrats on the “W”!
