Clueless Newbie
Hi all
I have an Ansmann Mad Monkey, and getting frustrated by the juddering when pulling away. It seems I need to go sensorless, but what combo? Looked at the Speed Passion Revention R, but might be over the top for an amature, as I don't need too much adjustment - I'll just get confused! What are peoples toughts? I do like the look of the Speed Passion range. Preferably deans, with switch and fan. Must have reverse.. Thanks! |

I too have a Mad Monkey but i dont get any juddering. I run a Bullistorm esc and an Ezrun 4300kva sensorless motor with no probs if that any help. Mine keeps up easily with others at our track who run things like Durangos and Losi.

Thanks, but even more confused now..... I thought sensorless had to be the way ahead!

Are you on 40mhz or 2.4ghz? I had some crazy things going on, mostly juddering at high speed and occasionally at low speed, tried all different electrics then did the 2.4ghz frsky mod to my transmitter and it's smooth as anything now

Sensored - Sensorless
Simply put, Sensored is better than Sensorless.
Sensored - the speed controller knows exactly where the rotor is while it is rotating via the sensor lead so starts and slow speed control of the motor is smoother - no 'cogging' or stuttering Sensorless - the speed controller does not know where the rotor in the motor is so slower control of the motor sometimes means 'cogging' or stuttering starts but once the rotor picks up a bit of speed generally everything is ok. |

For a smooth start you need a SENSORED system which is what all racers use. The SP Reventon is fine, I had the Stock Club Race version for a while recently until I blew it up (my fault) The amount of adjustment available on them is not particularly large unless you start messing with the boosted stock1 firmware. To be honest I can't think if anything very simple that is raceworthy. You will also need a sensored motor to go with the ESC. |

Thanks for the replies guys. Yes standard sensorless. So what do we think to these:
http://www.modelsport.co.uk/speed-pa...roducts/368090 or http://www.modelsport.co.uk/speed-pa...roducts/368088 and http://www.modelsport.co.uk/speed-pa...products/35157 Not sure what the difference is between the s and r. Perhaps the s doesn't have reverse? All very confusing! Appreciate any more help before I order...... Yes, running 2.4GHz, so the transmitter mod sounds interesting....? Thanks |

The Reventon S is a 40 Amp ESC and has a motor limit of 9.5
The Reventon R is a 70 Amp ESC and has a motor limit of 5.5 The Reventon PRO is a 140 Amp ESC and has a motor limit of 3.5 |

2.4Ghz
If you are already running 2.4Ghz then there is no need to do the FRsky modification. This usually means converting an older 40Mhz transmitter to run 2.4Ghz - Ideal if you have an expensive transmitter that you would like to keep on using but want to run 2.4Ghz, like an old Futaba Field Force 3 or older KO Propo systems.

What is the significance of the Amps? I am runnning LiPo stick pack. Thanks |

Personally I'd go for the 'R' if you can afford it.
The 'S' has a limit of 9.5 so would run the 10.5 but it limits further upgrades in motor and is running close to the limit, plus you get extra software advantages with the 'R', much more adjustability like the Hybrid Boost feature.. |

Also, what gear would I need if I went for the 9.5T or 8.5T?
Cheers |

still dont count on being judder free, i run sensorless in everything and there are several drivers at the club who run sensored whose cars are not as smooth off the line as mine is. try gearing down slightly and if you can, try different timing settings on the speedo, believe me that can help a lot

Both the S and R are supplied with a LED Program Card and Fan To be honest though i've only got the Pro Version and is dead simples to setup !! I'm getting the 'R' Versions for my 11 year old as i'm so impressed |

Right, so sensored it is I think. If I go for a 8.5T instead of the 10.5T replacement, what gear do I need? How do I gear it down?
Getting there! Thanks |

So just not sure what gearing I need if I go from a standard 10T to 8.5T motor....? Both brushless... Thanks

if you have the rtr mad monkey,the brushless that they come with is sensorless and is totally rubbish.it cog's so much that you'd think its faulty.the esc is rubbish.for a budget cost the EZ run esc's are easy to setup and use.the motors are not bad actually,its the esc.
i do have a hpi flux reload which is the same as the Ez run which i could sell to you for 27 quid posted. thanks hope that helps.
