Electrified XT8!

[Jan Donga]

What a nice and clean conversion. I am planning of converting a XT8, but still dont know what motor & esc i should use.
But i did drop my eye on a Lehner 1950/6 HiAmp motor.
Do you guys think that the XT8 can handle the power that motor delivers?

i'm using a Lehner 1940/7 hi-amp paired with a Mamba Max esc... i don't have it back yet from being converted, but i'll be sure to post how that combo works.

if you do go with a Lehner, i highly recommend a MM controller. very cheap, very smooth (with a 2 pole LMT) and very configurable! the motor/esc i'm using in my XT8 is what i used in my old SuperMaxx...and it was very powerful and smooth! it should be even better now that it'll be in a lighter vehicle.

Thank you for the kind words.

I have a 1950/6 in my XB8TQ, btw.
