1/8th buggy conversion

[MetalMan]

For 4s Lipo, he could go with a Lehner 1940 6t or 7t. For 5s Lipo, the 1940 8t would work well. If he truly is power hungry, then 6s Lipo with a 1940 10t. For a controller, the Quark 125 Monster would probably be the best out right now. This setup without batteries would run him $565, but is top-of-the-line. Depending on the actual batteries, $200-250 is a good target price range for Lipos.

It's possible that a 1940 would just be too much. If that's the case the 1930 motors in similar KVs would work well. In order from 4s-6s Lipo, they would be the 1930 8/9t, 11t, 13t.

how about a hacker/fiego/nemisis 9L on 4s lipo, that is the route i am going with an Ofna 9.5 pro.

I showed him that "top of the line" combo you suggested at work today. He likes that and might buy it. Will 2 Orion 4800 Lipo's (14.8v) supply enough power for that 1940 motor? About what would the runtimes be?


If that motor is too much for those batteries, what else would be a good choice?






Also, does anybody make a 1/8th scale buggy conversion kit to do this? If not, what parts would I need? I know I will need a motor mount plate and some 32p pinions, but is there anything I'm not thinking of?
