Matthew, that is what I ordered for my sons 8ight conversion. What gearing are you using on your 4S setup? How is the runtime so far?

Thanks,

Thanks,

I'm running a 13t clutchbell and getting awesome runtime. I ran 2 5min qualifiers and 8 min of a 20min main (had the dogbone end of the center drive shaft eject after I cased the top of a jump). I don't quite remember the mah I was putting back into the pack after each qualifier (a Hyperion 16c 5350mah) but it was about the same if not a little less then tekno was putting into his and he was running a 1509 2Y and a MaxAmps 20c 6000mah with the same gearing. He finished the 20 min main with some to spare so I could have done at least 15min on the Hyperion, maybe 20, but I wasn't running that pack in the main, I don't like to run my pack until they dump, I was using a MaxAmps 20c 6000mah. We were both running MM with a fan, Castle BEC. This is racing so bashing should yield longer runtimes.

I'm also like their 1300kv 60mm in my 8T geared with a 14T bell. Running a Hyperion 18c 6s 4250 through an un-modded MM, Castle BEC, no fan. Haven't track tested this yet, but it should be a good setup.

Guys, just a racing update from Saturday Night. I entered the Novice class with the 50-2200 V2 powered 8ight buggy. I used 12/46 gearing. The power system ran great and nothing got hot. It was about 70F out side and things were running 100F or so. (they were so cool I did not feel a need to get out the temp gun.) The heats were 5, 5, 10 minutes.

I am happy with this motor so far and the 4S / MM / CC BEC with no mods are working great.

Now I need to adjust / setup the car better and learn how to drive :) I am about 5 sec's a lap off of the good buggy driver times.

Sounds like good results. I just got an e-mail back from them, and within the next couple months they will be testing a 70mm long motor. Perfect for our monsters and truggies

That is great news, I wish it was sooner but It's just nice to have more than two or three brutaly expensive choices for large quality inrunners.


Jfruge, sounds like a good setup, did you feel like you needed any more power to keep up with the other buggies? or do you feel the 50mm motor is enough for a competitive (club level) buggy?

Unfortunately the first two winds they offer (2200 and 1600 Kv) won't be of much use to me. They should be good for many of you though. Hopefully a 2000 Kv wind won't be far behind.

I think it will keep up with the club level buggys. I do need to gear up 1 to 2 teeth and get it set up better and run in that class to be sure.

The next race is in 2 weeks and will soon find out! That class is also runs a 20 minute main so I need to see if I can make it or if I need to come in for a battery swap.

Fun Fun
