808 buggy with 4s or 5s
 

808 buggy with NEU 1512/1.5yf and MM and 20 tooth pinion
ive been running 4s 3700 pack with great sucess except battery is getting hot at 130 degrees.(no vent holes in body)

i tried 5s and my MM is not complaining at all. so.....5s with a 16T pinion? motor RPM ok?

will battery run cooler? using apache 4s and 5s 20C packs anyrc.com ( from mike)

I have found that 3700 packs are not enough for my buggy on 4s, need closer to 5000 at 4s. A 3700 5s would be better than the 4s, geared for the same speed. Motor rpm should be fine on 5s with that motor.

I agree with bdebde, upper 4000s are minimum for usage with 4s. My buggy is running 4s 4800mah 20C on a 1512 2.5D/F geared for about 45mph.

My two cents.. :whistle:

I've got two 808 one on 4s and one on 5s, 4s is great for the track, 5s is too much but is great for the park or smoking Nitro's.. :yes:

Also.. 4s you want at least 4000mAH if not 4500 -5000, I have the 5s 3700 and get around 20 minutes out of it, its a great $140 lipo..

Either way you cant really go wrong with more power, just learn better throttle control..:lol:
