Can I run a 11.1 V 3s Lipo with this NC1406-5700KV Combo? It's going in my Bandit VXL with a 87 Spur & 18t pinion. I'm currently running 8.4 V NiMh.

yes you can ! also acording to the tech guys at castle you do not need a fan to cool the esc. they told me if they thought it needed one they would have provided one with the esc and motor! how ever i would say that is providing you are not using inproper gearing for the vehicle you are running. keep tabs on the esc temp. in case you are geared to hard for top speed. if the esc goes over 200 degrees then you will need to change gearing . also that combo is made for a vehicle 5 lbs or less. also consider the fact of 2 wheel drive or 4 wheel drive. four wheel drive will be more of a load on the electrics. yes you can ! also acording to the tech guys at castle you do not need a fan to cool the esc. they told me if they thought it needed one they would have provided one with the esc and motor! how ever i would say that is providing you are not using inproper gearing for the vehicle you are running. keep tabs on the esc temp. in case you are geared to hard for top speed. if the esc goes over 200 degrees then you will need to change gearing . also that combo is made for a vehicle 5 lbs or less. also consider the fact of 2 wheel drive or 4 wheel drive. four wheel drive will be more of a load on... » Read More yes you can ! also acording to the tech guys at castle you do not need a fan to cool the esc. they told me if they thought it needed one they would have provided one with the esc and motor! how ever i would say that is providing you are not using inproper gearing for the vehicle you are running. keep tabs on the esc temp. in case you are geared to hard for top speed. if the esc goes over 200 degrees then you will need to change gearing . also that combo is made for a vehicle 5 lbs or less. also consider the fact of 2 wheel drive or 4 wheel drive. four wheel drive will be more of a load on the electrics. « Show Less

No. The motor and esc are both rated up to 3s, but not running together, I have tried it but it got hot Very Fast. You would need the Mamba Max Pro or Hobbywing wpsc8, etc. for a reliable 3s esc with 5700kv. I have this Castle combo in my Bandit, and 2s is plenty...my advice? Gear up and you will already be in the 50mph range 2s...I run 24/90 gears and it's stupid fast. Speed run, 26/76, it has to be 55mph with that gearing.

Yes, the ESC and motor can run 3s batteries, it's almost a must that you run fans on both if you want them to last.

Yes...just do what directions say to turn the esc to low volt detection.....I run a 3s lipo in mine

I use this 3S lipo in a Slash 4X4, and how you run it dictates run time. In my case, running it hard virtually non-stop nets me about 20 minutes. First runs at more reasonable speeds (getting used to the truck/battery) averaged 30-35 minutes. Be prepared though if you've only used 2S lipos, as this 3S made my Slash 4X4 an animal!

Yes you can sharge 2 lipos at the same time, or 1 lipo and 1 NiMh, as I ofter do. Brands of batteries don"t matter, just type, and size. Charger works great!

If I remember correctly at 22.2 v on 6cell Lipo it generates 5.5hp. Hope that helps!

It's possible to get the VXL up to 60-65mph, with a 3200 30c Venom 11.1v lipo. Would recommend just getting a VXL instead of dropping a power system into a ready to go XL-5. Don't know what you could do with upgrade. VXL is the only way to go.

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.

You would have to buy the esc vxl3s to run that motor. It's brushless,there for it has 3 wire's. You would need lipo battery to. Then your bandit will do 70mph+

I run 4 WS amps I have 3 hc2400s and have no problem. I would run at least 3 if u can afford or maybe start with 2 and see what run time is like. 6 amps is alot with 1-2 battery its just gonna die in hour or so. Then your alt. Is gonna be working twice as hard. 6 amps may be more problem then pleasure. Just my 2 cent.

The Brushed Motor systems can only handle 2S LiPo's. You would have to go with the 71074-1 brushless e-Revo to get that speed!
1824699
Yes you can. But, I would recommend the NiMH battery. When I went to the hobby shop to check on the replacement I found similar models with issues when using a LIPO. The culprit was the burning out of the engine.

Yes you can run 2-3s lipos in parallel for longer run time. 3s max tho on that system.

the stock battery that it comes with fits perfectly also an 8.4 and an 11.1 will fit without any mods done to it. And yes the esc could handle of a maximum of 11.1v battery. I would recommend the 11.1v 25c. Just as long as you keep the battery harness in it. Oh yea and it does cone with extra foam im guessing that its for any mods that is done to it.

No. You will need a 3 cell lipo battery. You will also need to start upgrading parts as a 3 cell will start breaking stock parts.

This is a good motor/esc combo for the Rustler XL-5. Make sure you use high quality 2S lipo batteries
483634
Yes with the 380 motor mount. If you are looking to upgrade for more power running LIPOs and bashing I would find different combo. I evenutallly burnt both ESC and motor after several runs on 3s just bashing. This combo can not simply handle LIPOs IMO.

Regardless of what vehicle it's in or if it's running packs in parallel or series I've always stopped at 3.6v/cell when the pack is at rest. You could possibly go lower and still be safe, however I noticed that my packs lasted a lot longer stopping at 3.6v/cell. Also I found these alarms to be rather quiet. Just a heads up. Enjoy &#128522;
