Just Bought a AE RC-8B need general conversion help...

If you are looking to run 2 3s packs in a series for 6s total, I'd look to the Feigao 11XL as it will be more suited to 6s with its Kv of 1577.

I'm not sure what ESC you have here, but are you sure it has brakes and/or reverse? Most chinese ESC's are forward only and meant for air use. If this is the case, you'll most likely need to maintain the mechanical brakes and obtain a PiStix to properly run the ESC.

As far as the conversion, you say you want cheap, but quality is cheap then as well. Mounts bend and shit breaks.
Why not support the man running this site. Mike offers the best quality mounts around and has trays and conversion kits for the RC8B.

FULL CHASSIS KIT

Or

Mount only

Great info thanks , as for the stuff you recommended its way over my budget for the start of this build ...I may upgrade later.

The ESC has full car options such as drag brake and reverse etc.

Which wheels/tires do I go for ?

Still no idea about what wheel size ...

i have the same conversion i would make sure you buy the correct size battery there is not much room for longer batteries, my flightmax 25c 5000 4s batts fit very snug. i think you can just buy the motor mount from e-bay its decent but not the quality of mikes is nice, i have not had a problem with mine though, maybe think about buying a tekno battery tray for $15 like i did and you can use many different battery sizes

Excellent to hear ...did you buy it at the same place?
If so are they OK to deal with?


Thanks E-Revonut and magman I am sold on CC since I own a couple of Sidewinders for my 1/10 stuff also but at the moment I already own the Chinese ESC ...

What size tires would fit if they are sand paddles ???
