electric conversion

[jollyjumper]

well, i wasnt exactly clear.

first, you cuss and swear that your laptimes with the losi suck.
then you practise alot,
times will end up being faster then your previous car/truggy.
you gotta learn how to drive again if you come from a mugen, kyosho, jammin, ...
it feels like an rwd electric when its nitro cuz the weight bias is towards the front. it's quite loose in stock form,
you also gotta role the trottle where as on a mugen you can nail it quickly after the corner.
atleast this is what i read on nitro forums.
it may not be like that anymore after installing a BL motor and a big battery.
maybe mike and glassdoctor can explain it better then i,
for they raced there 8-t allready.

That is exactly what mike said after racing his 8 last weekend - he runs a bit of drag brake to help with the spin outs. But he did say the turning radius was absolutely insane (GREAT)..
