Most of the 1/8 guys will be running 4cell but in our 1/8 class its open to basicly whatever 1/8 electronics you want. Even 5 and 6 cell. You probably not get enough traction or speed on our track to need anything more than a 4cell but feel free to run whatever you would like.

Thanks for the info. I should probably think about a 2s the way I drive most of the time. So if you go 4s, what size motor should you go with? It seems to me the higher the S rating the lower the KV rating. My son has a 2s battery and a 3900kv motor. I'm an old gas guy so I don't know. I do love the plug it in and go race part. That is awesome! Thanks for any help.

I have seen some 1/8 buggy run on a 550 motor. Not that it was the greatest but it dose work. It might not be to bad on our track either since its a smaller track. The best motor to get would be a 1/8 scale motor. They have all the torque that you would need. On our track a 1700kv 1/8 motor would work just fine but some of us are over powered. I am running a 2100kv and its overkill. The 1/8 motors don't run very well with a 2 cell but a 3 cell dose work OK if your looking to tame a 1/8 buggy down. There is a big difference in the 1/8 ESC and motor com paired to a 1/10 ESC and motor so make sure your getting 1/8 electronics and not 1/10.

I'm running a Tekin T8 1900kv on 4s, and it's plenty fast.

Tekin recommends LiPo batteries with at least a 40C discharge rate for 1:8 applications.

I'd like to see a max of 4s batteries just for the saftey of our Marshall's and spectators

Thanks for all the help. I'll keep all this in mind when ordering. How many were in the 1/8 class last year?

Lat year it was a hit and miss class. When we did run it was only 3 or 4.

Dose anyone have a old 1/8 wing they would give up for a couple bucks or free is always best. I am working on a project for the 1/8 class

Scott you need to quit saying you will buy a 1/8 if Tim runs and JUST BUY ONE!
Tim you NEED to dust yours off and show us all how 1/8 should be run.

I am comitting to running 1/8. There I said it now you 2 need to follow.

RadioRogue

Yea, you tell Scott how it is Scott!

Hello, I just got into this hobby about a year ago and am looking into racing rc's. We don't have any local races or anything around North Platte that I'm aware of tho we do have some tracks here. I am mainly into bashing and goofing around with the slashes at the moment. I do have a road car and a couple of boats as well. Any info will be appreciated.
