Looks good. What run time did you get?
Notice you have whtie springs by the looks on the front shocks. What suspension setup are you running?

WOW great video / Cool build..
How did you get the track to yourself ?? and what are your temps after a heat ?? I ask because I have the same motor in a different Buggy..


OOOO by the way Welcome to Monster!! This place is great, tons of extremely knowable people (not me) but many others..

Have a great week..

I don't known what is the limit but my temps are:
ESC:56 C/ 132 F
NEU: 64C / 147 F

and one time before opening body : esc : 60C / 140F | NEU : 72C/161F

They are pretty good temps. Don't now what the average temp is on that esc as I am using a MMM.

next update : losi battery tray and motor mount, I just ordered brushless losi conversion kit.
And I ordered losi lipo 4S 5000 because I didn't find lipo 4S with hardcase. I like my kokam lipo : charging at 2C, performance, but in my mind hardcase is needed for a buggy.

I highly recommend the Tekno v3 setup over ANY other.. you get a custom chassis, the electri-clutch it is a truly amazing setup.. you continue to use the mechanical brakes as well making it even easier on your motor and the ESC... making the system even cooler.

I think that is the only hardcase 4S battery

I don't know for electric clutch, but the weight must be too important, and I don't like the battery tray at the end of the chassis whereas all other kits try to keep battery tray at the front.

I've driven it both ways and it doesn't mess w/ cog or weight distribution... at least with 4s 5k lipo's or a pair of 2s 5k packs.. She jumps as good if not better than the nitro's.... I raced mine for a while as nitro so I should know ;P

Neu 1512 seems not compatible with losi motor mount :/
screws too big :
and axis too short :

I am trying to find a solution, but it seems hard.

new pics : other pics here : http://atnight.free.fr/losi_kit/

Looks good, but is it me or did Losi overcomplicate the motor mount?
