I came across a deal on a 8 and snatched it up,got a tekno conversion kit and ordered a neu 1512 2.5d from rc-m for it after the recomendation from members here
I am running a mm esc with a thunder power 5s 5000mah 25c pack with the mm cutoff custom 16v.
I have run a few packs through the buggy now,WOW is all I can say
This thing rips,it is a little too fast for me at 100% endpoint on the transmitter,just balloons the tires and wanders all over the track,I have found it drivable at 75% and still has the "nitro" speed down the straights.
I am getting right at 20mins runtime running it as hard as I can,Does this sound about right or should I be getting more.
The temps after the voltage cut is 150 motor,120 esc,120 batt's.
Geared 13-48.
Here are some pics of the buggy still dirty from the track,and some of the body I just painted.
Thanks again for all the info,
Kevin
