Maybe next sunday I can give you a run in 8th scale, mine should be done by then. I can honestly say that i've only seen a few 8th scales wheelie from pure torque and doug's was one of them.
Here is your answer on my 8ight doing a wheelie.

What if you have the Torsen diff?I have the spider diff, does it work with that?
buy a losi diff an put it in ur diffs place, the 46t kyosho spur mates rite up......
or a ofna,,,,, u mite need diffrent bearings& othere lil things, but first check and see if the kyosho gear mounts up to ur guys diffs.....
u mite not need too buy another diff.....
also ask www.rc-monster.com or www.rcproductdesigns.com , they make & sell alot of brushless conversion stuff, so one mite know...

Doug just awsered ur question... Get the Neu 1512 2.5d/f
Thanks Gary and Doug for the replies. One quick question, which I'm sure has been discussed. What is the difference between 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5? Some are stronger at low rpm others at high rpm? I don't mind having something with a little too much power since it won't be on a track anyways. Stil needs to have great low end and top speed though.
The difference is the RPM of the motor. So you need to know the battery you are going to use then select the motor. I have a 1515/2.5D/F in my 8ight T with a 4S. You could get a higher KV motor (more RPM per volt) if you are running a 3S battery, or a lower KV motor if you are running a 5S. You should look at the specs for all of the motors and see what motor to buy. In the 1515 series a 1.5D is 2700 KV, a 1Y is 2200 KV, and a 2.5 (like mine) is a 1700KV. Where you get in to problems is you can only get from a 12 to a 20 tooth pinion so if you go silly with a motor you can't gear it for speed or slow it down enough with gear. I learned this out with my first motor (not my 2.5 Neu), I need a 5S to run it due to Truggy not having enough speed even with a 20 pinion and a 44 spur on 4S. I suspect the total power is about the same just the RPM is different given using the same voltage battery pack.
Happywing and I talked about the issues with the Deans not having a good enough connection. They are good connectors but I don't think that they were designed to handle the current and hard hits we give them on the track. Here is a solution that could help. Ideally they will share the current from the battery to esc, example a total of 100 amps from battery to esc would have 50 amps thru one and 50 amps thru the other. If one losses some of its connectivity, the other is still within the range to handle the full 100 amps. Here are pics that we are trying.

Well guys i have decided to go ahead and build the truggy (Hot Bodies Lightning LSP-Pro-R) Gonna try a MM with a Neu (thinking of trying a 1515 1y or 1.5 D) will be running on small to medium tracks with maxamps 4s 2p 8000 packs. Any ideas on what the gearing should be--I don't have the truggy in my possession yet-so i don't even know what the spur gear size is). I really like what i have heard extremelimits has had to say about his 8T--so i would like to have comparable speed and power.
Thanks

My 9l is a 3345 and I'm running 4s2p A123's with 14/46. Maybe I should try the 1512 2d/f? It's the highest of the 4 with 2600Kv. I really want to use the cells I have. Should I be looking for a motor with a higher Kv?

Tom,
That is a good idea. I am going to give it a try myself. My connectors get super hot. I have wondered if the resistance goes up as the temp goes up. I have experienced some cogging at start up after I run the warm up before the heat race. There is no cogging when the car is put on the track but after I run the 4 min. warm up I get cogging when the race starts. I am still struggling with keeping everything cool. Have you found a better quality fan?

plumslow hit the nail on its head.....
all the motors have diffrent torque, e.i. higher numbers have higher torque, but are low in rpm, and the oppisit for for lower number turns...
but the more volts u run makes up for having less tq....
so like plum slow said look at all the neu 1512's an match it too the batterys ur running(but ive found the neu 1520 2.5d/f to be a best of both worlds motor)
any way im running my 1515 1y on 4s an its balistic(the neu 1515 1y is the highest/bigest/lowest turn motor anyone should use for a truggy)(there is one turn lower then mine but its way too much for a 1/8th scale it pulls 200+amps cont. & thats way to much for rc cars, its more for planes or 1/5 cars)
my neu 1515 1y/f pulls 110amps conts. and my mamba only pulls 100amps
and that has alot to do with my truggy overheating.....
thankfully u can program the mm , i toned down my motor alot, also my 1515 1y is way too much for racing, but ive got it geared & programed for a clay race track,my mm is basicly maxed out to slow down my neu motor, so now i can race it, but i still cant make a 20or30 main, most ive done is 16mins but thats at race pace, once i get a monster mamba max/ or MGM 224 ill beable to make 20-30min mains , theres a guy on the rc-monster forms that takes 2 mamba maxes an make them into one(so it will do 200amps conts.).... if he pm's me back with a price an see if hill do one me, i mite do it a take my mm an buy 1 more send it to him and have me a home made mnster mamba max
ill let u know, hes testing them with mike from rc-monster.com

Since I have a 3345 now and would go to a 2600 at the most with a 1512, then I would have to get a larger pinion to get the speeds I already have with the 9l? If that is right, am I gaining anything? I feel like I'm missing something.
Look on the RC-Monster forum Gary, I noticed that guy responded to your question on the Mamba upgrade.
I have the spider diff, does it work with that?
