7hp potential in those lipos. Should be ok. What escs do you plan to use? I still have the 12s capable escs that I was going to use with the baja, not sure what to do with them! Maybe run a dual motor 1521 setup in a stretched savage?

In theory that should be fine (5s for each motor/esc), but the KB motors are amp hogs from what I gather, so an eagletree would definately be advisable to keep an eye on voltage drop under load..

Sorry it has been so long - I have my baja torn apart as I rework the conversion(I am never satisfied it seems). The updated kit will be pretty sexy and hopefully worth the wait - I should have the new kit installed and running in about a week. Hopefully the kits will be ready within a couple weeks.

Turnigy HV's

Shoud turn out well on 10s.

I just learned that you can buy 5b rollers(clones) on ebay for 399.

Pretty sure those are the same escs I have. Something like 120 each??? Anyways, sounds like a fun project, but I have found used hpi bajas rtr for 400 bucks...

What other motor options are ther for motors?
Neu 22xx is too expensive

kb45 are a bit of a pain to utilize...

...

Erm, Castle 1520 or 1717? Still $$$, but cheaper than a real neu. Other than that, some sort of outrunner maybe, but getting the gearing/rpms/voltage right might be a pain...

Brushless Boy..

I'm going to experiment with a few larger outrunner motors from Hobby City on my Redcat Rampage. I'll post results as soon as I get things all hooked up. I'm also using the Sentillion ESC and figure that with up to 12s to play with, I have room to ramp up the voltage on a direct drive (instead of center diff) setup with two packs on either side of the mounted motor. We'll see..

Startup will be your enemy. If you could figure out how to utilize some sort of clutch on each end of the motor, well that would work great. Esc startup is on the of big hurdles to direct to diff drive, and plane escs do not have very good startup profiles anyways...

Building a brushless 1/5 is expensive no matter what. Better save up and buy the right stuff or not do it at all. If you want a Ferrari...

Large scalers are pricey, electric large scale is going to cost even more. I think the big outrunners from HobbyCity are the best bet other than a 2215 or maybe a Neu 1527.

All I ever wanted was an honest weeks pay for an honest days work.

I really do not see why a properly setup 1/5 scale truck could not use a 1527... Still need to be HV, to benefit from the lower amp draw, but a 1527 should be ok. I plan to run a 1527 2y on my 1/5 scale savage on 10-12s lipo.
