HB Lightning II Pro Conversion Complete! - 03.31.2006, 01:26 PM

I finished my HB buggy conversion yesterday and ran it for the first time. I am using two Flightpower 4S LiPo's, Feigao 9L and the BK 12020 Warrior Controller. I don't have a lot of experience with 1/8th buggies but it was fast (if not faster) than any nitro buggy I have ever seen. It flat out hauls!
I have to mount the motor better to ColdFusion's motor mount, but that's the only issue I had yesterday (after landing from a high jump, the motor would move a bit and I would lose the mesh between the pinion and the spur). Mike, thanks for all your help and the spur adaptor you made was fantastic.
The motor temps were between 73 and 146 degrees. Maybe next weekend I will bring it out to the track and see what it can do against the nitro buggies. Why in the world doesn't OFNA, HB, Kyosho, or anyone come out with a 1/8th ELECTRONIC buggy kit? These companies don't know what they are missing.
