So I was planning on building up this kit using a mamba monster esc with the 2200kv motor and a 4s 5000mah pack.

Any suggestion to gear ratios i should use, or at least suggestions on what ratio to try?

I don't plan on racing it, but i do plan on running it on 1/8th scale nitro tracks which are local to me, as well as some dirt road bashing =P....

thanks for the help...

You should just keep it light and run a quality sensored esc w/ a novak hv on 2s. If you add alot of extra weight the truck will break more.

2S with a Novak HV... Don't need the MM system in this truck on 4S, it would be stupid fast and un-drivable. You want a 1/8th scale system with that much power buy a SC8e, it was meant to run on that setup.

Overkill! The 10SC was not designed for that kind of power.

Get a 1/8 electric buggy and have all the fun you want on 4S.

Its your money but doing what you mentioned would be like buying a Lotus Elise, putting a super charged Viper motor in it and running it on dirt roads.

nailed it.

Stick to 10th scale electronics, maybe 3S, but it's completely unnecessary to run anything beyond that.

I didnt even think of this, I might just check how much the sc8e would be....

so now... if it was a sc8e

2200kv, 4s, mmm sound good?

Anything in the 1900-2200 is perfect for a buggy on 4s.

Disturbing The Peaces SC8e with the same MM set-up you want on 4S. http://s23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...ent=SC8030.flv

He has it for sale as a roller or with the motor. PM him over at RCSC.com

Beadlock also just picked up a SC8 from the sounds of it, he couldn't be happier.

Nitrohouse.com has the SC8e for $320.00 won't find it cheaper - http://www.nitrohouse.com/catalog/pr...ducts_id=20851

Im assuming front and rear are the same?

For the shock kit, would i want the 32mm in both the front and rear, over the 29mm front and 32mm stock?
