Brushless FG
 

I have a FG monster truck, and i whant to convert it to brushless:005:
But i wonder are there any one who have done this on this forum? I need som tips on how to things
I know it has been done by som guys in germany,
But is there any place i can bay parts for this or do i need to make all the parts my self:032:

Got a pic of it?

Not too familiar with the FG. Pics would def. help!

That's a 1/5 scale, right? It would take some pretty serious cash to convert that thing!

yep thats a 1/6 scale
Yes i know it costs

I think you going to have to make motor mount and stuff.
You will probably need a good size motor for it aswell. It sounds like a cool project.

Are you planning to run 2WD or 4WD?

Artur

how does this sound?
lehner 2280?
powerful enough for 1/6 monster truck?
on 10s lipo?!?

I had a 2250. It was a powerful motor. The 2280 on 10s would be awesome.

what kind of ecs do i us with 10s lipo?????
Yes i've found out that the 2280/? would do the jobb, I have also found some germans who make the konversion kitt, I'm only going to run with 2wd

I never ran 10s lipo yet. I got a project now That is going to try 12s. I really hope everything works ok. I may just go 10s instead. I have no worries there.

but what kind of ecs do you use?

He is using the 36120.

what brand is 36120?

It is made by BK

Followd up by a lehener 2250/8 with 6s lipo
Will it hold the power enoughe?
How does that sound?

how many volts?
cuz 1480kv is alot.
26 cc engines run only 20k rpm.

the plan was 22.2V

personally i think that wouldnt work, the gasser runs 20k rpm so i think you need a BL motor that runs 20k rpm.:032:
or you need to change the gearing alot.
but with 1/6th your limited to pinions and spurs.:035:

i know

I think i would aim for like a 8s so you won't need as many amps.

Yeah, 6s Lipo might be a little low for voltage. Like CHC said, 8s should work.

Here you go one already for sale (onroad) but will give you some ideas

The Castle Creations Phoenix-110 High Voltage ESC are thay any god?
Its cheep but are they useable?

Just do a search on phoenix on this forum, and you'll see a few threads about this controller.

It's a nice controller, but you most likely need a stick transmitter, and you need the mechanical brake to stop the monster.
