Fuel For the XBE

[Guest]

Got a present from the mail man today. Some go power for the XBE. Hoping that they give some good run time. I like the emblem they sent with them. Not sure what to do with it yet.

[Ol' fart]

Nice. Where did you get them? and how much?

 

[GoffeeRedCat]

I've seen those at hobbyking.com!!

 

[Guest]

Yep, Hobby King. Paid about $250 shipped.

 

[XBENOOB]

Did you get them from the US warehouse or the International one...

Surprised you did not get the 8.0's

 

[Guest]

International warehouse.

I'm going to run the stock esc for now so I went with the 6s.

If I change the esc I'll get some biggies.

I could throw this set up into one of our shredders some day.

i bought the same batterys for my savage flux they work good

 

[KrashKrieg]

FUN FUN FUN!!!

I really want to try those nano techs, they are supposed to be very good.

 

[Knuckles]

That is a hell of alot cheaper than the max amps 9000mah ones I bought, Considering buying those nanotech ones after my kershaw 5000mah die.

You won't be dissapointed with those batts, Mine came perfectly balanced and are holding up great.....

 

[Guest]

Now if my back ordered T5692 would ever get in, I'll be ready.

 

[XBENOOB]

You will not be disappointed in the Leopard 5692...

I am currently in the middle of a tear down and rebuild on my XB-E (will create a separate post for the project) and the Leopard is holding up well.. So is the 7075rc Motor Mount and Spur and Pinion. It's been in there since Ol'fart started selling them and it looks like it has never been used... and any one who knows me knows that it has been used hard..

Even the hobbywing 150amp has been holding up well.. If you are going to put the Leopard 5692 in the XB-E with the hobbywing, I would suggest using a separate BEC it will help make the ESC last longer, and provide cleaner power for your servo and receiver.

Those batteries will give nice long run times... unless your finger gets stuck on the throttle all the way..... lol

I'm actually going to try the Turnegy 5692 1000kv. Nice and cheap and I've heard plenty of good reviews. Just waiting at this point.

 

[bigfol]

Yep waiting, waiting, waiting, It seems as though everything rc is on back order lately, not sure if its a sign of the times or the popular gear get snapped up quickly........

 

[Guest]

Wired them up, just to try them out. Still waiting on a motor, and the Rally bodies.

 

[Duffy]

Knuckles what kinda run times are you getting on those 9000mahs?-(not to thread jack).

 

[Duffy]

Maybe you can get your money from back order and have them send you this.

I bet I could just edit my order. I have picked up a Leopard 5692 in the meantime. The motor in your link has about half of the kv as the Leapord. What is the benefit of the lower kv.
