any one running dual sidewinder 4600 in there txt?

[yanks017]

my first txt arrives tomarrow have two new 4600 sidewinders laying around was wondering if any one has done this set up yet?

 

[joe]

i dont think ive seen anyone run a dual brushless setup in a txt.
everyone ive seen use one brushless sytem.

 

[yanks017]

do you think there would be any problems

do you think there would be any problems

It would be excessive. You would need to purchase a second ESC. One 4600 is enough to move the truck. If you want more grunt, then you can step up to 3S or buy a larger motor, like the 1:8 scale setups.

got two esc and motors think im gonna give it a try truck comes tonight cant waite wanted one of these trucks for years. thanks for the advice guys

You'll have to make sure the settings are EXACTLY the same. Since they are sharing a spur gear, if something is off on one of the motors, they'll be fighting each other. Keep a close eye on temps during your first run to make sure they are running in sync.

 

[Supreme Reign]

It will not be any faster than a single 4600 setup. You will just have twice the torque.... Stump-pulling torque:drool

 

[Ball Racing]

And by having all that extra torque,
you add pinion gear, and then you have more speed.
I ran 2- 6,900 mambamax's in my e-revo for a while, just to do it.

just ran it tonight and WOW is all i have to say its a handful but its gonna be fun :shk

This is an old thread but I thought I would bring it back alive. I saw a video posted on youtube .... (Tamiya TXT-2 Agrios Modifications - Double Brushless Setup) by Matteos RC movies, and it made me go out and order a TXT2. I have a pair of sidewinders with 4600's along with some clod tires and rims, thought it would be cool........ maybe yanks017 can give us an update on how the TXT handled it. I know it's overkill but **** ..... thats why I am into this.

here is a link to the build video

waste of money running 2 systems
A single system can turn the spur gear the same, even better than 2 fighting each other.

You really want grunt, run a larger can 1/8 setup like a 1800kv 4s-5s-6s system.

I've run 3500, 4600, and 5700 systems with 2s and could wheely and speed along just fine even when I had the heavy new era tube chassis

 

[etzaras]

10-4 good to know ..... leaves me with a spare esc and motor for another truck ... Yeah !!

 

[Ball Racing]

Dual brushless can run.
but If I did dual 4600's it would be on 3s lipo as you just won't have any speed for your trouble on 2s
Do dual 6900 or 7700 on 2s with a 18-20 tooth pinion.
I run a single 7700 with a 17 tooth and runs about 30mph
But thats a dirt racer, and can get hot in grass..

 

[etzaras]

I'am thinking 3S would tear my gears up. Either way I have options as I have batteries, speed controllers and motor sitting in my basement. I will figure it out as I build it.

I ended up fitting the truck with 1 sidewinder 3 esc and 1 4600 Castle 4 pole motor........ works awesome. More than enough power. Thanks guys
