The best motor upgrade for Rustler XL-5 versus SIdewinder SCT 3800 Combo and Velineon?

the Mamba Max Pro will outlast the Velineon by far with having a wider arangment of gearing types. would definately go with the Max Pro.

Velineon hands down. If u are looking for speed like a lot of Rusties do then up the kv to 4600 or 5700. 3800 has more torque but less top end speed. I put the 3800 mamba max pro in my pede and she does 60mph easy.

Hey Tim, The upgrade is about $60. I'd suggest trying the trike as is for now, that's a very easy thing to upgrade if you feel you need it in the future.

They have a model for all the motors. To find the one for yours use the MinnKota website chart for the proper upgrade model. Search Weedless Wedge.

I would very much recommend a bigger motor. If you are on a budget, I'd recommend a used one with a bigger motor.

don't waste your time, your Emaxx should have a 2200kv 75mm brushless motor rated for 6S lipo, the sidewinder 3 is rated for half that voltage. If you used the sidewinder you would only be able to run 3 cells.

I first started with a bearings upgrade, which totally changed the feel of the board, then I threw on a set of Gullwing Sidewinder II Trucks, I don't recommend those trucks in particular due to having two kingpins, and the board has a big disadvantage with wheelbite with these trucks, and a bit of speed wobbles. I suggest a set of Paris' or something of the like.First, I'd start with bearings, and just work from there:)

I am sorry, but I am not familiar with The Rustler. Traxxas is very helpful. You might contact them.

sorry i can't tell you that i prefer to use mine with a Dewalt 18V 6.5" sidewinder because its half the weight of my worm drive saw. i a lover not a fighter these days.

Not sure what you had before, but I went from MinnKota 30 to MAX 50 on my inflatable pontoon (which has motor mount similar to yours) and the fit was the same -- just a little heavier. I've loved this upgrade. More power, infinite variable speeds, and longer run times. Made a big difference in my enjoyment on the water and my fishing success.

I bought the 70716 because it has a 5500rpm motor as opposed to the 5300rpm on the 70711. My other reason was I preferred the colored markings on the base that are easier for me to read.

that's what I saw also. I submitted my question to Poulan support via their email link on Jan 18th but have not received a response yet; will post here when/if I get one. I've tried to find a local hardware store that carries this model so that I could look at it but no luck. Its kind of confusing because there is also an ES350 model which is advertised as 3.5 hp. Also, on my 400E the part number on the motor housing lists it as 16" chain and bar which it isn't.

I know I'm late.DEWALT brushless motor delivers up to 57% more run time over brushed.XR Li-Ion batteries with fuel gauge provide 33% more capacity over standard packs

You're really gonna want a sensored setup for a crawler. I am using an MMP with a sensored motor. The SV3 is going to cog at low speed. Unless you are running a brushed motor. In that case this is a good pick.

I have castle creations sidewinder 3 and brusless 1410 3800kv motor in my slash. I think it is a great combo for it.

Yes, you can. Bear in mind Castle released several versions of the 3800 motor + Sidewinder SCT; V3 (the latest) is fully supported at 3S in a light truck (ie a 2WD Slash or similar). http://www.castlecreations.com/support/documents/gearing_chart.pdf is the best guide showing exactly what is and isn't supported. Gist: 2WD Slash: 2S and 3S. 4WD Slash: 2S only (due to heavier weight).

The 3350r velineon system that traxxas offers as a power up grade is the exact as the vxl . So if you bought a velineon system as a upgrade , you have spent more money than if you would have just bought the vxl to start with . I personally would recommend looking into castle creations brushless system instead . Its almost 100 dollars cheaper and you can get a few different power opinions. I up graded my daughters 4x4 stampede to a 3900kv and its geared for bashing . That system pushes it easily to the 45 mph on a 2s 5000mah 20c battery . The 3350 velineon system will push close to 40 mph on the same battery! I hope this helps you out ! The 3350r velineon system that traxxas offers as a power up grade is the exact as the vxl .

Robert, I would be happy to answer your question for you and also let you know with a phone call 360-755-0665 you can save some money.Most customers use the Minn Kota Endura 30lb thrust motor. this is sufficient for most applications. The 50lb would give you that little extra in case you got caught in a heavy wind.Ron SchmidtValley Sports and More360-755-0665
