Monster Truck Madness – Electronics for your New Losi LMT
Hey people and Happy Thursday!
I bought a cargo replace from UPS that made me VERY happy- my TLR Tuned Losi LMT equipment has shipped! I used to be one of many first to pre-order and bought within the first batch, so I bought fortunate in a loopy fast flip round. I feel all pre-orders are slated to ship by April on the newest although, so regardless of while you ordered you need to have it within the very close to future.
So upon the announcement of the equipment final week, I began receiving e-mails from people asking about digital suggestions. That’s what we’re going to focus on this week!
When it involves servos, you’re going to need one thing that has some oomph. The common rule is round 300 ounces of torque, and if you’re going to race I’d advocate digital. Yeah certain, you may get by with one thing analog that’s much less highly effective, however it is a race equipment so let’s go together with a racing advice. I’ve been utilizing a S6250 Standard Digital HV High Torque Metal Gear Waterproof Surface Servo for a couple of 12 months now in my present LMT, and it’s been incredible. It’s fast, has loads of torque and retails for $120.
The topic of motor/ESC is essentially the most attention-grabbing one, as there are a number of choices on the market. For this, I went to my fellow racers which have a great deal of LMT expertise and requested them for suggestions.
Before suggesting what they needed to say, I’ll state that the RTR LMT electronics – Spektrum Firma 3150Kv 4-pole Brushless Motor and Spektrum Smart Firma 130A ESC – work good for me when operating on 3S. I’ve used mine from the RTR model in my different Losi LMT for two full racing seasons now.
Some of the setups at the moment working nice on the monitor from my buddies – Hobbywing Xr8 w/ a 4300kv lengthy can motor, a Fantom FR-8 Pro ESC and a Speed Passion 5700kv 550 motor, a Holmes Hobbies Puller Pro V2 540-L 4100Kv paired with a Castle Creations Mamba Monster X.
All of those methods and combos will get you movin’.
Alright people, there ya have it. I’ll submit my impressions of the equipment in addition to my full construct particulars after I full the truck later this month.
Until subsequent time, maintain it on all 4’s!
