Mini-Renegade with Barbwire Motor?

[kacordy]

I have a mini renegade rigger with the non-water cooled out runner motor. I just don't like the heat. Would a Barb-wire 2950kv motor work? What would you guys recommend for a prop? I will keep everyone posted with my results.

Thanks, Allen

That's pretty cool! I actually built a mini Predator rigger- http://forums.offshoreelectrics.com/...ilt-for-my-son . It looks as if you widened the tub, I scaled mine down equally all around and kind of regret it due to how narrow it is but it works. After getting my Barbwire and seeing how well it performed, I was thinking the same thing about trying that motor in the rigger.

How long did you make the Renegade?

Kwiktsi,

I will keep this thread posted on this conversion. I bought this rigger 4 or 5 years ago. Ran it a couple of times and then put it on the shelf.
It's the stock 13 by 9.5 inches. I will buy a new barbwire to get the parts. I will use the strut, rudder and tabs on my MHZ mini mono, I believe it's the Gieco. It has the stock straight wire drive, but on 3s with a Feigo motor it is out of control. I don't know the kv but it appears the label states 3946 rpm. Do you have videos?
Thanks, Allen

I run a x435 on my renegade with a 3400kv outrunner

Alex, thanks for the post. 3400kv on 3s? How do you keep it cool? Can you post me some pictures? What brand of motor and ESC?

I want to get this thing screaming like the video that OSE has posted for several years!!!!

Thanks for your help.

It's the one that comes with the kit I destroyed one and now am almost done building a new one. X431 purple plastic prop is recommended but I use a x435 cut to 33mm and it hauls a$$ a little heat but nothing major

Need to install the fin and the flex and we are ready to roll
After my fist one I was hooked

my first renegade

Alex, do you have a source to replace the original motor that comes with the kit?

[Alexgar]

Do a search for milehighrc 400df outrunner not sure if still around as the kit is no longer but there site is still up and have them priced for 34$ found a suitable replacement at hobbyking

Go to hobbyking under the electric motor tab go to Ida outrunners and the third one down is a kda 3200kv should be perfect replacement same size same specs 9$
