Brushless 1/8 Scale Buggy

[Cloak]

Happy dance happy dance, my Losi 8ight came in and it is in fantastic condition. Now I have to wait to play until I get in my motor, motor mount and pinion.

I shall have to tow it behind my revo and go VROOOM VROOOM.

More pictures!

Hyperion 5S 20C battery came in, deans installed, charged up and tests run.

I think it made a little bit of a difference, don't you? Now I have to make a proper battery tray and a box for the programmer. The truck jettisoning both wasn't a good idea.

The lesson of today is proper batteries make for a stupidly fast truck. Around 3/4 throttle, the front tires were so big I couldn't keep it straight anymore. If it were warmer, I'm sure I would have ripped them right off the wheels.

Little sneak peek of the Mamba Monster Max?!:twisted:

Included a fan and an internal BEC, 6S (so you know it'll run 8S) and 5mm plugs.

Dangit, I want this stupid thing already for my Losi 8ight.

so what happens when the a main is longer than 10 min, or when the batery runs down. nitro you just fill and go but if u had to replace a battery thats a little tougher. im guessing the in 15 or 20 min mains what happens when you dont have full power.

My rig will run 25 minutes on a pack, so I guess I would just finish the race, wait for the foggers to refuel, hope they don't flame out, and then wait for them to finish.

The future is electric!:twisted:

Never.

Never.

In RC electric is.

I don't want it to be in 1.1 cars though, I love my combustion V8.

Well it's not a conversion but I figured I'd post up some pics of my Gorilla Maxx. I'm waiting for my RPM arms to come in before I run it. I'm going to take the Aluminum arms off and sell them. Trying to shave some weight off this thing...

If you are looking to do a conversion RC-Monster.com has several conversion kits for buggies and truggies that you can get for a pretty good price. If you don't like the vehicles that they have kits for you can always make your own too.
