Its going to be a fall/winter project as far as I can tell.Ive still got a Rampage I need to sell to help fund the project. The new Redcat buggy is at least 3 months away anyway. I will be buying 2, 1 to keep as a gasser and another for the conversion. Once the gas version is RTR then I will start on the electric.
Id like to use 4 of the 6s 5800mah lipos configured to achieve 12s 11600mah. It will be needed to complete those pesky 30min mains. I have a good idea of the ESC I will be using, its the Turnigy 200a Monster ESC from Hobbycity. The outrunner will be Turnigy as well, either the 13k0kv or the 180kv version. That is if the rollout wont be too high for a direct to diff drive conversion. If I cant use the outrunner because of the rollout I will have to use a setup similar to Ryu James's Rampage. Then I could essentially drop down to the cheaper 150amp HV esc from HC. The esc doesnt have a BEC so I probably will use a standard largescale 5000mah pack to power the the RX and steering servo, considering I have a few of those. A bec is something I can do at a later time if $$$ doesnt permit. Man I hope the Rollout ratio of 6.81 isnt too high.
