I was going to paint my body and I thought...what would be worse for a nitro guy than getting beaten by an electric buggy and it came to me.......getting beaten by a pink electric buggy so here it is!

That sounds like it will work. Let us know how that ESC works out.
In 1985 we raced onroad 1/12th in the Long Beach area, Eustace Moore (MIP) raced there too back then. There was a pink car that just beat the heck out of all of us.
I don't remember her name but she was 9 years old.... talk about feeling absolutely useless.

hey guys sorry i havent posted in awhile, one of my uncles died..(he flipped his truck)
so ive been away...
anyways i was thinking of getting a rx plug(6" long wires) just like the one on the MMM , an splice into the MMM's rx wire and SODIER the other plug/wire to the MMM rx wire...
THAT WAY I DONT HAVE TOO KEEP UNPLUGING THE RX PLUG TO CHANGE SETTINGS ON THE MMM....an i wont need to open my losi's rx box every time i need to program my MMM.....
I think this is a mod alot of people can do/an will like...
What do u guys think???
DJ1978 ,
My RCPD EL8 Top Mount , and RCPD EL8 Battery tray(for my 8T) , came in the mail the other day..
WOW!!! your battery tray is so nice looking(looks factory made) and its nice and beefy...Nice job...
(also nice job on the top plate)...
Keep up the good work,
Gary A.
btw - my EL8 Battery tray came with two screews , do i need to put some more to hold the tray in?? (what holes do i put screews in) i have a 8T truggy do i need to moddify anything to install it?
That spliced idea has merit, I was thinking about it for my Traxxas Emaxx as it has a sealed receiver box too and to keep plugging and unplugging the wires can't be good over the long term.
nick7736: If you need to absolutely make 20 minutes, a 4S PQ6000XP 25C Pack would work great. RCLipos sells this under the PolyRC Brand and I think RC Monster sells it too under Polyquest. You could also look into a 5S or 6S of some form to get the equivalent W-hr's if I recall correctly as the 6000mah at 14.8 is approximately 88.8 W-hr. Just keep your pack weight around the 4S 6000XP weight. Here is one:
If I recall correctly, this pack is the same cells as used in trakpower 4900mah lipos. Should have same dimensions (I had the 4S pack)
Fabulous: You smoked your ESC. You will need to send it in to Tekin to get it repaired unfortunately. How much do they charge for a non-warranty repair? Let us know what they say. Don't feel too bad, I did something similar with my Castle Creations ESC just recently. Good thing I have a spare sitting here.

Wow, I didn't realize I was going to be getting into the $250-$300 range for just one battery. This conversion may take me awhile. Now that I'm 16 I can finally get a real job!

Gary,
My condolences also. Always tough to loose a loved one.
Thank for the Compliments. The trays are factory made... at the RCPD factory!!
Those two screws go right where they are in the battery box. they are 8-32 X 3/8" and supplied so you don't have to gring off any screws inside the battery box area.
You also put the other two stock motor mount screws in and a 5-40 screw flat head in the middle of the tray with the included 5-40 nylock nut into the small pocket in the middle of the tray.
5 screws total

All I'll say is that a Losi electric 1/8 is coming...soon...
'Soon' and 'Losi' don't belong in the same sentence. It took them over a year and a half to finally release the JRXS-R touring car, from when the team drivers (back when they had such a thing) had started running the prototype R cars.
I up'ed the gearing from 12T to 16T running the small Medusa 50MM Length 2200KV motor with a fan cooled MM and no BEC. MaxAmps 5000Mh and 10,000Mh 3S packs. In my Yusa test buggy. No real heat issues. Assuming my Oracle data recorder pulled what I think it did I should have a moment to download the temp data later this weekend.
I would definitely say it seemed overall less punchy, however I seemed to be able to clear a triple - most likely just a little higher speed. It will be interesting to look at the RPM data and see if it went down any.
I seemed to be keeping up with a 3.3 Revo pretty well, however to be fair it seemed he was having some tuning problems and sounded like it was running a little rich.
If there was an 1/8th scale stock brushless class I would say the Medusa 50mm length can would be a great option. Fun but not ripping fast and pretty forgiving to drive.

How long did you run racing/bashing and what were temps ?
