My first 1/8 conversion - Losi 8ight-T

[primus95]

Hi Everyone on RC-Monster,

First of all, awsome forum with lots of great info!!!

I'm new to the world of 1/8th Brushless conversion and just picked myself up a used Losi 8ight-T from ebay. I've been doing a lot of reading on the forum, but wanted to run a few things past you guys, with your wealth of practical knowledge.

The only things I'm 100% sure on are the following:

Truggy = Losi 8ight-T
Motor Mount = RCM
Battery = 5S1P FlightMax 5000mah 30C

I was wanting to keep electronics cool and reliable, and get into the 40Mph mark.

Love some motor/ESC suggestions that wont break the bank. I was thinking a 1600KV motor geared 15/54 should give me the speeds I'm after on 5S but all advice welcomed with open arms.

thanks
