Don't believe the hype (perfection)

Ph2t,
You mentioned that the perf 4.2 king went less than3/4 of the 2 3.8's
Do you think the reason for that is that its a king 4.2 on a booster pcb and the 4.2 pro might be faster since it is made for booster cars?

[ph2t]

Assuming that this is the case for the 4.2pro's then yes, that's probably why. When doing the testing I didn't have a 4.2pro on hand. When I finish rebuilding the monster-bit (currently it's in the chopshop) I test it again.

I say yes, buy one and try it.
I love EM's Vanquish, that baby is what I run my dual cell and it's the fastest car I've got.

now... the bitchar-gmotors - I got from kyle way back when - before EM was around.

and kyles motors were my favorite until I found the Vanquish... actually it still kinda is.

I use the Vanquish for a perfect mix of power and speed.
I use kyles 1.6 for straight balls to the wall torque.
I use his 2.6 as a general motor, nice torque and good speed.
I use his 3.8 to just fly at top speeds.

Thanks for the info man. With the bitcharg motors 3.8, have you put that in a fet modded chassis with the high speed gear set (green)? I take it the EM3.8 gets to it's top speed before the the bitchargmotors 3.8 does?

thanks dude,

ph2t.

sorry man, not sure how I missed this one - anywho...
nope, haven't put it (either) in a zz at all (no fet to make it worth while).
I'd have to say, for sure the Vanquish gets to top speed before the BCGMotors 3.8
however, the Vanquish is just a pussy hair slower than the BCGMotors 3.8 in top end
but, the Vanquish is a more powerful motor (torque), and for the trade offs, I like the Vanquish better - especially for my typical driving habits

I hope Todd (extrememicros.com) sticks around at least as a wholesaler because the vanquish is either 1st or 2nd on my list of best motors

Have you tried taking the pinion off, and running down a couple batteries with no load to help break it in? that really seems to help with high RPM, low torque motors.

I'm gonna try that... I've heard y'all talkin' about breaking in motors, but I've never done it. If I've run several laps (a couple of charges) with that motor, is it too late or will it still help to break it in?

Well just running it will help break it in. Part of the idea of running it with no load, is to cut back on wear, but mostly it's to let it hit that higher RPM, and maintain it at a consistant speed, to break it in faster. In 1/10 scale we broke our motors in with a slave motor. I would imagine the same could be applied here. At any rate the idea it to wear in that metal bushing without wearing out the rest of the motor in the process.

Thanks for that feedback Cab's, it appreciated man. Now if only I could score some more EM38's, arghhhh.....

[THE #1 PIMP]

does any one have one of those 3.8(pink endbell) motors from kyle that they could sell me and for how much would you sell it for

[micromatch]

pm me i got 2...ill sell one...its never been used
