I bought an eight

[el tomaso]

I got the 8ight today It wasn't as worn as it looked in the picture, and I got a new set of gravel-tires on it too. I got all the nitro-stuff out right away, no need for that now.

Can someone list the parts I will need to fully restore my 8ight, like damper seals and such.

My dad tried to order the MMP and medusa 36-60 1300kv for me, but somehow it couldn't be done. I guess the medusa is sold out or something. Luckily my tekno set is ordered and will be here in a week or two.

I sent an e-mail to mike to find out if he had any medusas left, and if the MMP was available too. I could easily buy a 1600 or 1800kv instead of the 1300. And if that fails, impakt has the 1300kv in stock.

Impakt also has tekno/neu 1512 2,5d 2050kv for 119, and 1509 2y 1820kv for 99.

Also the LHS has just got the new silwer arrow esc, and the cirtix "soltless" motors. That'd be cheaper, and if I have to go down to 4s anyway I might just try the SP stuff.

What do you think?

the MMP (mamba max pro) is a 1/10 esc. i think an 1/8 buggy might be too much for the esc to handle.

as far as the speed passion silver arrow esc, for the price you're paying, you're better off with a monster mamba or if you can swing it, an RX8.

i think for all the money you'd be spending on the speedpassion stuff, you could get alot more for your money. 4S with a $170 esc is a bit pricey.

the other side of the coin is, what if you get the 4S esc and then buy a 1700kv motor and find out you should have gone with a 1900 or a 2050? you'd have no room to volt the motor up.

I ran my 8ight conversion for 2 years with a Mamba Max esc w/ BEC on 4s lipo... you got to be kidding if you really think the MMpro can't handle it.. you can even go 6s lipo w/ the pro and bring the amp draw down more if needed.

LOL how soon people forget.... all these 1/8 esc's are only 2 yrs old now, some not even.

PS towers has the mmpro for 109 shipped w/ coupon if you have supersaver... can't go wrong w/ that.

You bought the kit for a 36mm motor, the 15xx series Neu motors are to big, you would need a 14xx series to work with a 36mm motor mount

Thanks for the replies, guys.

I am going for the MMP anyway, its the motor I'm not sure about. I have run the castle/neu 2650kv of it on 4s, without heat problems. If it can do that then I have faith it will pull a >1900kv motor on 5-6s even better.

I have been thinking, if Mike doesn't have a medusa 1600kv either, I could afford a tekin. Maybe a 1400kv buggy motor, which would be nice with the sensor esc. Only thing is these rotor things I've been hearing about, but the medusa have the endbell coming off and is also wide open with all the venting

If I am going for a tekin I'll just buy the motor mount, and save the novak mount for that day when I want to find out if old novak HV 6,5t motor still works

I saw the cirtix motor has bolts on the outside, so it wont fit the mount. Its probably not the best motor anyway...

Ok, now I've bought a new MMM 2200kv system for 200$, but impakt doesn't have the damn mount So, I can do three things:

-1-Find a 42mm mount in another shop, or buy one off one of you guys(hint).
-2-Sell the castle/neu motor and buy a tekno lektron 2200kv for 99$. Fits the tekno kit very well, but I have to run 4s.
-3-Sell the castle/neu and buy some 36mm motor. I hope mike answers my mail so I can know if and which medusa motor he has left of 1600kv or less.
