Thanks Takedown. I hope that motor surprises me. I am really looking forward to this project. It will be my first kit!

Cool. In the last few weeks there have been 5 Hyper ST conversions. Did I start a trend? (Mine, Yours, Finnster's, Arct1k's, and lincpimp's.

I have wanted to do a truggy conversion for the longest time. And now that I see how cheap the pro kit is, it's a no brainer. But yes, I am looking at all of these great builds for help, thank you.

They are all great, including yours. It looks like your build went smoothly. Got any pointers?

Yeah- before installing the polished steering plate, install the front brace.

Yep. Also the rod that holds the rear brace in also mounts to the wing mount- the rod was too short.

That was another reason I backed out of the kb45. I need my Zippy-H pack to keep up.

I would pay to see that. I still think I will have to settle for the KD36-74, the thing better have preformence with that length. lol

Should be fine, just don't go mad with the gearing. Some trial and error will find the sweet spot that produces good power and speed with decent temps.

KB-45 10XL with HV-110 in a custom center diff Savage on 5s2p and 10s2p A123 here... That's one powerhouse of a motor. It's been holding up to abuse that broke a Feigao 12XL's magnet...
I'm currently replacing this KB-45 10XL with one of the Hobby City KD36-74 1200 kv motors, because the KB-45 is too large of a diameter to allow me to use the 3rd disc brake, and it will also allow me to use a smaller pinion.


SH Z-Car, Custom Crawler, 8s Savage, 12s XTM XLB 1/7 buggy, 4wd 4-link rear/IFS Pro4 truck, Custom Hyper 10 Short Course, Belt-Drive Mammoth ST 1/8 truggy, 4s 17.5 MM Pro HPI Blitz
