Any one wants to add to this thread. It has seems very help for many people from a spec perspective.

1. <Car> Losi 8ight Truggy
2. <Motor> TeknoRC (NEU) 1515 1Y 3. <Speed controller> CC Monster Max 4. <Lipo Battery> Looking into A123 but most likely Maxamps 6000mah 5S2P 5. <Charger> Still deciding 6. <Conversion Kit> TeknoRC V3 Brushless 7. <Cooling Fan> Looking for 40mm for motor 8. <Likes of your setup> Parts in mail 9. <Dislikes of your setup> Parts in mail 10. <Description on your motor performance> Parts in mail 11. <Battery Life> Any guesses with my setup and battery? Obviously I am waiting on the new Monster Max's ESC to come out, hopefully they won't fail now. Also the TeknoRC NEU motor and conversion kit should hopefully ship within a couple of weeks. I have a few questions for those more experienced with electric 1/8th. Is the Monster Max built in fan good enough or is another fan required? I will be running the truggy in Iraq where it gets pretty dang hot outside! Will the 1515 1Y running at 18.4 volts be pretty quick or do you think I should upgrade to 6S lipo's? What would be one of the best AC/DC Lipo/LifePo4 chargers you would recommend for under $300? Does anyone know with the TeknoRC electric clutch system if I will still have reverse capability? Would you recommend a seperate BEC and not tap off the Monster Max to keep temps down? I might even consider a seperate Rx pack. That's all that I can think of for now. :D |
In terms of charger, it looks like a lot of people are going with the 610i.
When get get info on the A123 batteries, let me know details about this battery. |
1. RC8 (building it now, previously the car was a Jammin)
2. Neu 1512 1.5Y 3. Tekin R1 Pro 4. Poly RC 6000mah 4s (overkill, about to buy an Elite 4800 as a 2nd batt.) 5. ICE 6. RC-Monster.com 7. 2 25mm Much More Hi-RPM 8. In the Jammin, the power was smooth, instant, and still controllable. 9. Battery is pretty heavy, but Like I said, it is overkill. 10. Smooth, Easy to drive. TONS of low end. But if I wanted to gear it up and have TOP, I could. :lol: 11. 25-30 minutes on the 6000. Probably 15-20 on the 4800 I am guessing. |

I use this with an MRC power supply and it works great. |
I ordered the Hyperion 610i Duo. Seems to be one of the best chargers out there.

any new selections?
|
1. Car: Losi 8ight
2. Motor: Novak HV 4.5 3. Esc: Mamba Monster 4. Battery: Neuenergy 4s 4100mah 30C 5. Charger: Ice 6. Conversion Kit: RCM motor mount, homemade battery strap. 7. Cooling fan/heatsinks: None 8. Likes: Light weight, 7.1-7.4lb rtr, fast, durable, reliable, simple. 9. Dislikes: Hard to gear down properly for tighter running areas. 10. Motor Performance: greater than 45mph no matter what gearing used, wheelies from standstill, runs about 160-170F. 11. Runtime: 12-15 minutes. I'm actually going to exchange my HV4.5 motor for a HV7.5 motor and get the castle neu 1512 1Y. I may also run 5s on both motors and get a hyperion charger. I mainly bash, so capability of high speeds are somewhat of a priority. |
Here is my setup
1. Losi 8ight 2. Neu 1512 2d/f 3. Tekin R1pro (with 2 caps 35v 2200), case mod (holes in case for cooling. Receiver pack Nimh. 4. Polyquest 4s 6000, Elite 4s 4800 5. 2-Astro flight 109's 6. Monster motor mount, RCPD standard tray- long, center diff top plate/ESC mount (Dan's). 7. Yes, fan blows directly on solder posts on ESC. 8. Pretty fast, but not too fast, Everything has been working great. 9. Would like to get a little more runtime for longer mains, I need the fan to keep the ESC temps in check (or should I say to keep it running cooler), I can run without the fan but it pushes the ESC a little hotter than I like and would like to get away from the fan. 10. Motor's performance is.. what can I say the Neu's run great... but should have gotten the Neu 2.5d to get more runtime on my 4s setup 11. With the Polyquest 6000 I can get about 15 minutes + but need to run it on a large track to check runtime on a larger track. Elite 4800 just over 10 minutes (pack is getting weak). 12. gear ratio: 12/46 (kyosho spur) |
1. <Car> Mugen MBX6 (just got it today)
2. <Motor> Either NEU 1512 3D or 1509 1Y (do not have yet) 3. <Speed controller> MMM (do not have yet) 4. <Lipo Battery> Neu Energy 5s 5000mah (do not have yet) 5. <Charger> Hyperion 610i dual (on the way) 6. <Conversion Kit> RC Monster (on the way) 7. <Cooling Fan> 30mm for motor (on the way) 8. <Likes of your setup> In progress of putting together 9. <Dislikes of your setup> Same as above 10. <Description on your motor performance> Same as aboe 11. <Battery Life> Same as above |
1. <Car> Eight

2. <Motor> Medusa 2000kv 3. <Speed controller> Mamba Max w/ Castle BEC 4. <Lipo Battery> 2 - Core-RC 3250 (Not sure what upgrade path I wanna take) 5. <Charger> 1 of 3 either a Checkpoint, Ice, or G.T. Power A8 6. <Conversion Kit> None (Factory Built!!) 7. <Cooling Fan> 30mm on ESC. Haven't seen it over 145 deg F. 8. <Likes of your setup> Great balance. Very stable landing due to big bore shocks. 9. <Dislikes of your setup> Pushes just a little. Just need to work on setup a little. 10. <Description on your motor performance> Runs cool and efficiently. After a full run motor temps in the mid 130's. 11. <Battery Life> Get close to 15min of racing on my little 3250 packs. Pics are pre ESC fan, and big bore shocks. |
This sorta my dream ideal setup.
I'm still waiting on a reliable ESC to come out, I dont really wanna mess with returning fried ESCs or soldering thicker wires to MM and getting external BEC. =/ Until that happens, this will remain as a dream only. :( 1. <Car>8ight 2.0 2. <Motor>Neu 1512 3D/F 3. <Speed controller>MMM, whatever version is finally as reliable as MM 4. <Lipo Battery>PolyQuest 25C 5S 4350mAh 5. <Charger>iCharger 106B+ 6. <Conversion Kit>RCPD kit or 8ight Electric Conversion kit (undecided) 7. <Cooling Fan>None! 8. <Likes of your setup>It's perfect, in theory. =D 9. <Dislikes of your setup>Too expensive and untested. 10. <Description on your motor performance>Can't say, but hopefully great. 11. <Battery Life>Unknown, but hopefully slightly over 20 minutes due to higher efficiency of higher voltage (in theory). |
1. <Car> Caster Fusion EX-1 sport
2. <Motor> Medusa 36 60 2000kv 3. <Speed controller> Mamba Max w/ Castle BEC 4. <Lipo Battery> 2 - Maxamps 6000maH 5. <Charger> Ice 6. <Conversion Kit> None required (Factory Built!!) 7. <Cooling Fan> None required 8. <Likes of your setup> Best balanced and handling buggy I have ever driven. 9. <Dislikes of your setup> Plugging in batteries is a lot more challenging than tuning a motor....NOT! (I don't have the pro kit yet) 10. <Description on your motor performance> Runs cool and efficiently. After a full run motor temps in the mid 130's. 11. <Battery Life> Get over 25min of racing on my packs, but I believe that slow is fast.... By the way, orange is faster than blue or yellow...
