Here's a new shot of my receiver pack and my new receiver for my Futaba 3PM.

I've got a 6 volt regulator from HT Batteries on there.

I'll be glad to get my MMM back but I kinda like this setup.

I'm still thermaling but I'm trying a new approach.

I would be all over that but the motors I'm running have the 3.5mm shaft, not the 5mm

RC-Monster used to have 1/8th bore mod 1 pinions or 3.175mm you could drill it to fit your needs.

I have only run a 1512 2.5D on 4s in a buggy, no other electric conversion.

The next race is tomorrow (Sunday, 7/27), the one after that in two weeks. We don't run a separate electric class - the electrics run with the nitros. But be warned: you can only run ROAR approved hard case LiPos at this track. That effectively means 4S (two 2S in series, though I suppose you could run 3 2S in series if you could fit them in the car).

I can't answer your other questions - no experience in that area.

Arct1k, TimNJ and ta_man,

It was a pleasure to personally meet you guys today at Dirt Runners. I drove awful, but it was a good test for the 6S 150A controller. It was around 80 degrees and after the packs dumped Arct1k took the ESC temp and it was only 88 degrees. I had to add reverse, because the dirt piled up pretty fast on my tires and made driving my MBX5T really hard. The BPP truck can never run on the track, it's just too heavy . It was awesome being there. I'll definitely go back to put more laps on the track. I'll have a buggy ready as they'll be easier to drive on the track.

It was great meeting you, too. And thanks for putting in some work on the track. I was amazed by the turnout. Usually it's just Tom and I doing it all, but having 10-12 guys there today was nice. Glad you had fun, too. I felt kinda bad for you guys who were itching to run while I was turning laps on the tractor dragging and packing the track. It was worth it in the end though. That was a real good practice session and the soft/moist track actually held up really well.

I hope you can make it up again for the races tomorrow. Even if you don't run, the "festival" atmosphere is definitely worth the trip.

I use a 1521/1Y in my truggy and it is a bit too much. A 1515 should be more then enough, but too much for me is good.

Small post to say how much Castle support is great and efficient. I have one MMM out of batch 1. Only issue so far is some parts of the fan breaking during last Sunday's race. Sent an email on Monday, got an answer the next day and new fans were shipped on same day. Thanks Castle!

It all depends on which buggy you are running as they all have different ring & pinions. If you go back 2-3 pages you'll see a link to my gearing calculator to enter your info.

The 1515 1.5D has more than enough power on 4S. The only reason I could see running it on 5S is for top speed runs. Just remember though the faster you go th harder you'll crash....LOL

I'm glad you got out to a track to run with other guys. I knew you would have fun. Most electric guys that have these types of conversions that I have met are all good spirited folks. I met a lot of nitro guys that aren't (some of it is the frustration level running nitro).
