What spure are you running, 44 or 46? I'm running an 18 or 19T pinion with a 44 spur with a 1512/2.5D(2050 kv). So start with a 16T and gear according to track size and motor temps.

I've been really busy lately and haven't been following this thread as close... I finally have all the pieces to fire up my Losi buggy for the first time but I find it crazy my Monster Maxx may fail as soon as I hit the dirt! 
Question is: I know the fan shim mod and the dremeling of the bottom case mod, but it just seems crazy to tear into this controller without ever turning it on. Should I run it, have it break, they do the mods or should I just do them before I even solder my Deans plug?!?

One quote from the prez of CC.
"We are looking into the fans -- they are causing a significant percentage of the failures (they run off the BEC, and some of the fan failures are killing the BEC.)"
I don't know how many different ways I could take that statement.....

Hey guys, due to some issues that have come up and others that still stuck around, I won't be able to do an RC8 conversion at this time and will be going down to one vehicle for the rest fo the offroad season. 
Because of this, I will be selling a variety of conversion stuff, namely the following:
- New RC8 Less fuel tank and motor mount (also has the extra shim kit ready to install, plus the service pack ready to install)
- PolyRC 6000mah 25C 4S pack New, added deans connector
- Variety of Mod1 Pinions, several of them brand new RC Monster ones never ran. Would say the range is from 12T - 19T pinions.
Also, depending if Dan isn't able to do a refund on the RC8 conversion, I will have a New one with two spur gears as well.
I may also sell my 1512 2.5D motor to get a Medusa one as its cheaper (if anyone wants to work a swap on that let me know)
I will also have a variety of tires, etc. for sale too.

Seems there is some difference in what is going on and who is taking care of what.
Anyway, not sure if you got my email dan, but please keep everything on course for now. I should know for sure sunday.
As for those interested in my items, for sure I will be selling the pinions from 16T down. These are pinions I am not sure what they are, so I will sell them cheap as I don't need them. Good pinions with the plastic spur for sure.

Macrow called me tonight to tell after 2 weeks of running fine, his second MMM went up in SMOKE. He said he'll get pics later. He did just start suppling power to his fan from an external CC BEC he just installed thru his spektrum rx just like HEAT.
I've been running my fan off the battery, just like with the MM.
Who's smoked using a SPECTRUM rx. I use a fasst Futaba. Happywing uses a S* and produced SMOKE. This was Mark's second one with SMOKE.
It seems that we are all doomed....

I don't even think it's worth a picture at this point. 
I didn't even get to practice.

).I'm actually looking forward to getting back my MM (well actually a new replacement) and running my E-MBX5R on that. I'm going to change the 13AWG wire on it and replace it with the 10AWG wire. I'd also like to find a better heat sink and possibly run it with no fan. What's the deal with the MM and 5S? Does it not work on 5S?

TonyScrews: I will do that when I get home. The lower range pinions between 12T - 16T (may not have a 15T, need to check) I have to look at and see what they are as I am not sure. the 17T, 18T, and 19T I just purchased from RC Monster.
As for the 1512, I got it with my MBX5 last year, so it probably the older style with the longer shaft.

Hey Cain , if Tonyscrews doesn't take your pinions i will
On another note while i'm waiting for a suitable Xray 808 donor vehicle for my E conversion i was thinking of converting a Serpent 960 1/8 on road car .
Has anyone here done a 1/8 on road conversion , anyone sell motor mounts for the conversion ?

I run the 2.4 Ghz Nomadio React. My MMM died but no smoke (at least I didn't see any when it died on the track but with my eyesite who knows....LOL ).
