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 @

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.
