BL Revo 3.3 compared to 8ight-T

[miniGranis]

Thanks for the info on the Medusa.
I got a 8-B with a Neu 1512 2d/s and the current Revo with my Medusa 36-60-2000.
Would the it be good idea to run the 1512 in the 8-T and the Medusa in the 8-B ?
Or would the Neu also be a bit small for the 8-T ?

The 1512 would be better than the medusa in the 8ight-t on 4s. The kv is a bit high but it'll work until you can get a larger motor.

Well since I am very happy with the Neu in my buggy and I dont want to fry it I guess it will have to stay in the buggy.
What would be a good choice for the 8-T on 4S, CC 2200 ? or a Medusa ? (Neu is a bit pricey since I will bash it only).

[BL_RV0]

Depends on how good your packs are. I'd choose a medusa 70-2300 for 4s or a CC 2200.

I run Zippy 4S 20-30C, they tend to run a bit hot in my 8-B with the 1512.

What mah?

[miniGranis]

Ahhh sorry 5000 mAh

[zeropointbug]

Yeah, that pack would get warm I am sure. Have you thought about picking up a bigger battery, or just better quality/higher C rating?

[miniGranis]

Well not really unless I have to, I got 4 of them and one PQ 5000mAh.
For my use PQ is too pricey.
I guess I might have to go for new packs with the tryggy, any suggestion on Zippy or similar cells for the truggy. I will use the MMM so 5S or 6S is ok.

Bashing with the 8T, I'd use a 1515/2.5D on 5s geared for 40. That would be a killer combo.

[zeropointbug]

How many packs do you need/want?

[miniGranis]

Well depends on the mAh rating and run time, I would say 2 or 3.

[BL_RV0]

Go for some neu or hyperion packs, both well priced.

[zeropointbug]

If you want one of the best packs, go for Hyperion, very good prices. These things will throw your truck around like a hairy monkey would throw around a lazy hooker.

4s 5500mah 35C/65C pack - $172

5s 4200mah 35C/65C pack - $165

4s 5000mah 25C/45C pack - $128

5s 5000mah 25C/45C pack - $160

I run 5s Zippy-h 5000mAH packs in my 8ight-t on a Neu 2.5d every day racing, they are more than enough and only 100ea if you want to save money. Ive had these for about 1/2 a year now anyway.
