Hyper 8 Buggy on 6s

Nice!! Looks good. How is the weight distribution over all? It looks to me like the handling would be a bit off with the batteries so far off to the side...

Keep us updated.

Yeah, it is a bit off. When I make up a battery tray the batteries will be moved slightly forward, and in as far as I can to the center. I will most likely angle the tray out at the back to clear the center diff. My velcro and ziptie affair was just to make sure the motor/esc would actually work!

I will also mount the quark to a al plate and use the stock motor mount holes to screw that plate to the chassis. I will most likely use thermal epoxy to hold the esc to the plate.

Nice Linc. I'm curious to see how you make out with the Quark 65. I ran the 80b on 5s for a while in one of my buggies and never had a problem with it.

Thanks Jeff. I have had great success with my 65 in the 2wd emaxx on 5s. It is running cool on 6s, and not cogging with the align.

I am not sure if I like the align, it does not spool up fast enough. With the emaxx tranny it was better, I guess the increased torque helped make up for the slower motor acceleration in that case.
