Ofna DM1 Spec Brushless Build
 

I bought dangerwr's DM1 on the 8th of this month. I am ready to get this build laid out on the table. I should receive it Tuesday. I am going with the MMM 2200kv and a Neu Electronics 5500ah 4s 35c lipo. It should do just fine for me. I will be in the smaller parking lots racing and drifting. I thought about trying the 2 speed for speed runs. Any input from you pros would be helpful.

Here are the pics he sent me of my car.

Why not ditch the 2 speed and run a center diff all the time? In my mbx-5 on road conversion I am using the center diff w/the 2200 castle combo and can easily hit 50+ with tall gearing. IMO it is just simpler that's all.

Look forward to your pics!

he also included a single speed. How's that MMM? Pretty strong?

Yup very strong...I run 3 in total w/no worries. If you haven't bought your esc yet, the mmpro may be another option especially if you want the sensored feature

mmpro? where do I get that @

right here! http://www.rc-monster.com/brushlesscontrollers.php?pg=2

will that work on an 1/8 scale? What motor would I run?

tekin t8 would be a good choice. kv dependent on your voltage and desired speed

It will work for 1/8...you could still use the 2200ccneu or you could go for a Tekin 2200 buggy motor and run it in sensored mode. The Tekin motors can be run in either sensored or non sensored

how's tekins customer support?

Just as good as castle creations

either choice..castle or Tekin, you really can't go wrong

I have a close friend who owns a hobby store and he's really giving me a killer deal on the castle combo. I appreciate all the help and I see now I am in the right direction. I will have pics of the build as soon as I start receiving parts. Mainly the car.

Oh yeah BTW do I need a BEC? I will be running 4s.

Nope. Both esc have a 6v bec built in I believe

Thanks. That is good to know.

Definitely makes things a lot simpler and neater

well I bought the 2650 instead of the 2200

on 4s it should do fine

Well I got my car in today. I got a hell of a deal. $350 shipped for everything from dangerwr. Thanks to all who passed that deal up. Thanks to Dangerwr as well. I painted the protoform body tonight. I will post pics in the am.

Are you gonna ditch the speed and go with the single speed and are you using the conversion kit from tekno

It's al ready set up single speed. I do have the two speed though.

Can you tell me what all I will need to make mine a single speed and do you know the part number for the diff that you use cause I want to set mine up with the single speed also and thanks for the help this is my first time dealing with a 1/8 conversion

I will look through the packages I have and post the part #'s for you as soon as I can.

Thanks alot man and that body is sick I mean SICK

this is all you need> http://cgi.ebay.com/Ofna-Solid-Cente...item5ad475953e

Thanks alot but are u sure it will fit the dm-1 spec cause it says it's for mbx/ gtp

yes sir

Just looking for an honest veiw on the DM1 would anyone feel that the novak HV pro system would be good enuff for the convertion ? my DM1 will also sport the single speed and i was just thinking would mid 50's be out of reach for the novak system i want the car to be comparible to a DM1 with a 21 ninja , well a tad faster but i dont want the brute torque just the top end i do plan to race and felt the sensored motor make bring some benifits.

First off the dm-1 is a great car and depending on your gearing you should get about 55-60 with a 4s but since you changed to a single speed that means you probably have that 51 tooth spur cause I was about to switch to single but I really didn't want all those teeth in my spur. If I were you I probably would go with the mamba monster 2650 if you plan on running 4s..

I got my battery today and ordered another tray to house this huge thing.

I think I want to buy the tekno conversion kit for this. I like the lay out and width of that chassis. Any one need a motor mount and esc plate? probably the single speed as well. I talked to a tech @ tekno and I was told that the clutch was beneficial. It keeps temps down and no low end cogging like direct drive. Again.. this is what I was told. Oh also that the mechanical brake was better to use than the motor brake. A castle tech told me that as well about the brake set up. As you can see in the pick above that Neu Lipo is huge and i just want to house it properly.

pm me a price on the motor mount please:yes:

pm sent to you.

Well I bought the Tekno kit from Nitro House. $119 was a good price to me.

I have the single speed parts for sale.

The 2650kv is a nice motor.

Youll be able to gear for 60mph without troubles.

And paralyzed is right the solid center shaft will fit right on :)
