need help with converting a hyper 7

[whitrzac]

seeing that the CC Neus are only $140 on here, and come with the warrenty, etc. what would be better for me, the 2200 or the 2650??

I'm leaning more to the 2200 because the H7 is a HEAVY buggy, and I can alwase gear up a bit.


would my tekin RS pro have any issues with that motor? external bec, bigger caps, etc...

[whitrzac]

also, i can get Neu 1512/2.5D/S for ~$140 would it be worth it to get that instaid??

All are good choices - the 2200 castle - would be good as would allow you to use in a MT in the future...

Not used that tekin so can't comment - Jhautz runs the R1Pro I believe - not sure how that one compares...

the RSPro is a R1Pro with a sensor port.

so I should gear it for about 45-50?

Start at 40 and work up...

[whitrzac]

so with the 2200 a 15t pinon looks to be about right

is there any diffrence between the RR and novak pinions, RCM, losi, etc?

[whitrzac]

any experiance with the speed passion motors???

No. Just get the CC 2200 and be done with it.

but $140 for a motor... the buggy isn't worth 1/2 that much...

[whitrzac]

note to self, servo tape is not an acceptable way of puting batts in a 1/8 buggy

the 4.5 works realy good on a 2 cell with a 12t pinion, after 10min, it never got hot, a lil warm(~100) but not hot enough to bring out the temp gun

esc never got past 1led...

well, you guys sucseeded in makeing me buy the singal most expensive RC item I own, a NEU 1512 1.5d 3300KV, a little high but it has the finned can and was only $100

the next paycheck has a 48t spur and a 11t pinion....

do they make a plastic 48t spur for a 1/8 buggy? It sounds like a chainsaw with the metal gears

Funny, you beat me to that motor... Good deal, it will make some power on 4s.

Kyosho make 46t plastic spurs. I ran a motor of that kv (hacker c50 8l) in my hyper7 on 4s. Used 11/46 gearing and it was spot on for mid 40s...

What the hell did you pay for the RS pro? I would never run mine in a 1/8th scale. That thing is too expensive to void the warranty by running on 4s. I'm getting ready to run my old mamba max that I paid $100 for (with the 5700 motor).

Maybe it would be a good idea to sell the RS pro and get a MMM?

P.S. if this does turn out to be a good idea please send me your cc bec so I don't have to duct tape my mini t battery into my MP777

For $40 I would have taken the one from RCM...

Sort out that rear brace...
