Check each cell individually with a voltage/multimeter for verification.

Yep, I did. It would get more out of balance the more mah you put into the pack.

How come you guys have the radio box and I cant seem to find it there is one that says D8

[jhautz]

These are very first couple Mike made to prove out the design. He should have them listed soon. Design is done now I belielve. He just needs to machine up a batch. He might even have done that already. Not sure. Maybe Mike will chime in and let you know availability timing.

Swift, are those UE Supershocks you are using on your XT8, or Ofna Ravager shocks with UE Progressive Supershock Springs?

[swiftneed]

chad they are UE supershocks on the xt8 the mbx6t is stock

[swiftneed]

Definitely hope Mike puts me on the list for one of those asap when they are ready LOL thank Hautz

I have a question I dont race for now but should I put mechanical brakes for the xt8 or mugen
they say it is mostly used by racers what u think I dont race yet

[Chadworkz]

Nah, mechanical brakes just complicate things and clutter up the chassis and layout. ESC/Motor brakes are more than enough, even for experienced racers. Generally, nitro people who have just switched to brushless try out mechanical brakes on their new brushless setup because they are used to the feel of mechanical brakes, and are afraid the ESC/Motor brakes won't work for them. Once they try the ESC/Motor brakes, though, they eventually ditch the mechanical brakes because the ESC/Motor brakes are far easier to adjust, have much more adjustment, and literally never fade or wear out.

The radio boxes are showing as an option now - we have one for the D8/D8T and the RCM XT8 now(will also work on the RCM Jammin SCRT10 chassis when it is released as well). :)

You mean the Jammin SCRT10. The SC10 is the Ofna truck.

Thanks Mike just finished ordering it I feel better now.

Jhautz care to comment on the mechanical brakes and are their certain settings i have to do on my dx3s and the MMM as far as setting for them 41t 14p

I played with mechanical brakes on both truggy and buggy for quite a while and in the long run didn't ever find any advantage on the track. Once you get used to tuning the motor brakes and adjust your driving style it is just as fast as the mechanical brakes IMO. There are guys that swear by them though so it really is a matter of opinion and what you like.

Unfortunately this kit does not allow for mechanical brakes. The provisions are not made in the motor mount so... Lotsa work to get that set up on this XT8 conversion kit.

If you are asking for my personal opinion... I tried it all and wound up with the simple and consistent esc/motor brakes.

When you race with a MMM2200kv in a truggy what brake setting do you use?
