1/5 scale brushless monster conversion. tips welcomed.

[othello]

There are already a few 1:5 onroad car conversions in Germany. Like for example this one here: Evo 04. This one uses a 3040/12 (875kv) motor paired with a 32.170 Schulze on 8s2p Lipo (12000mAh) -> around 26000rpm. You can find a few videos on youtube and myvideo. I also saw a few conversions with Lehner 2250 or 2280 motors. If you compare those motors wheightwise with Neu Motors you should have a good match for your car. An MGM 12545-3 ESC should also do the trick. Good luck with your project.

I watched the vid pretty cool conversion, but I must say it was very slow. If my baja isnt faster than that I'll tear the electronics out and stuff the gas engine back in it and issue a public apology to every single member of the baja forum.

Ya know - I picked up a Lehner 2250/12 (987KV) used but in excellent condition earlier in the year with the intent of a large scale project in the 8S- 12S range but seeing that LMT 3040 and Mike using a Neu BAM I am having my doubts it would workout well on 1/5 scale.

The 2250/12 will work. It was used in another very fast 1/5 scale in Germany.

Thanks Lutach - I guess all is not lost. I really like the way these guys have setup their battery trays with the carbon fiber - very neat setup. Props to anyone who can put that together - I just don't have mechanical skills to do anything like that.

Ryu James - good look with this project and post lots of pics - I will be very curious to see how everything comes together.

i will be sure to post lots of pics but it might be a couple of weeks before i begin work on it now cuz i just got an 1/8 scale Schumacher in the mail yesterday that i have been waiting for for 2 months. i have already bought all the parts and stuff to convert it and so i am going to build this one first. it has a 3 speed trans so i am hoping to make this 100mph+ car. should be fun. it is electric already so doesnt need any converting....just some major improving. here are a couple of pics. it is the Shcumacher Menace GTRe. when this one is done i will start on the 1/5 and be sure to post lots of pics. thanks Team for all the pics and info on 1/5 conversion. sounds like i need to seriously look at the 2200 series Neu motors. would love to see any other 1/5 stuff out there. when will we see the first Baja 5T conversion? anyone, anyone????

thanks, nice looking builds. i wish this 1/5 i had was a FG. unfortunately it is a Smartech, a cheaper brand. but i guess i cant complain considering the price i got it for.

Did anyone watch the 1/5 MT vids from him? Impressive, I'd like to see the eagletree graphs off that. Here is his vid list, part 6 of the MT buildup really shows what brushless is really about. Hard to believe that truck is 20+ pounds

I've been enjoying those videos. I have never seen the gas version that fast and I never seen the gas version do wheelies like his does.

Yeah, that Bolido throws it around like... like a.... well.... something smaller.
