Mamba monster 8ight (new here)
 

Hey guys I'm new to the forum so i figured id start by posting my most recent build. Been running a big block revo the last few years so I'm new to the electric setups. Any tips or advice on my set up would be appreciated.

Losi 8ight T 1.0
Mamba Monster 2200kv
RCM motor mount
Custom battery tray
15/48 gearing
4s 45c 3800mah

Welcome, truggy looks nicely done and well laid out to me ( cant say anything terribly insightful Im affraid )- white battery tray is interesting though, thats not one of Mike's is it?

thanks, I made the battery tray on an endmill at school. I used white nylon hoping it would take rit dye but it didnt. I will be making another one with black nylon to replace it.

Ah, thats pretty cool. I only wish I had been into r/c when I saw at school & 6th form, had access to loads of great machinery- including a small CNC mill. Damn Im old.... :lol:

Get new tires and tape them :lol:

Nahh, great looking truck!! But the most important : how do you like it?

yea just got some new crimefighters for it. when you say tape them do you mean like put the strips of duct tape on the inside to reduce ballooning? as far as how i like it, it rocks compared to the os big block revo i had. i cant believe the power it has even on 4s. i love how the truggy handles to.

yes....

also, higher center diff fluid will also help w/balooning

any recommendations for diff fluid weights front center and rear for the BL setup?

I would say between 30000 and 50000 front and center, and between 10000 and 20000 rear. Rise up the punch control if you want to reduce wheeling tendency when full throtleling ;)
