MBX5-truggy conversion, little advise

[ronnyboy]

hi all, back to try out another conversion. still trying to complete my list of parts. so far, the Mugen will be fitted with te following:

Tekin rx8 combo set
Tekno rc motor mount
RC Monster Slipperential
4s2p lipo 6000 mAh.
besides some other small parts, there are some things i would like to ask some advise on:

- is the internal BEC on the rx8 good enough, that i dont need an external one?

- witch pinion is best* ive seen the links to the calculators, but man, im struggling with the inputs.

- does rc-monster sell seperate fans? and maybe a small temp. gun? couldn't find them in the shop.

- im going for a build with only one battery tray this time. the lipo i have is no small one, but im looking for decent runtimes. seen some good 5300 lipo's in this store, i would think 4s is more then enough for my use, any advise on this would really help me out, because im affraid bigger lipos wil also give more power, witch isnt always best for track use.


* (pinion) im planning on track racing only, no speedruns, wheelieflips and all that. just looking for a good speed between 35 - 45 mph to go arround a track, above 45 mph is just too fast in my eyes. decent runtimes and cool electronics are what im opting for. and i can always use my transmitter to tone down the power a bit if it spins too much. i'm no rookie driver, but these BL conversions are bloody fast, and a real challenge to control.


any advise on this is very welcome.
