Castle 8ight E Conversion Kit?
#3
You just talking about the Castle creations speed control and motor? I was unaware they made a conversion kit. If they do, hopefully someone will chime in.
The MMM is a good speed control and in my opinion the 2650kv motor is a bit much as is the 2000kv truggy motor. They do have motors in the 1800kv range that would be better in my opinion, but I don't know if you can buy those in combo with the ESC.
Losi's 8ight electric conversion works great and is cheap.

Yes I am talking about the electric chassis conversion. I want to convert my 8ight buggy but liked the split batteries setup, so I can use my 7.4V short coarse packs. I think I will use the MMM ESC and 1700KV-2200KV motor.
I just wanted to get some comparisons to the Losi conversion kits.

Just looked at it. That thing is a mess. Do yourself a favor. Just get the losi conversion and 2-3 4S batteries. They are not that expensive if you get them from hobbycity. I just ordered 3 hard case 4S 30C lipos from them with express shipping and it will be to my door for around $160.
If you're racing and have a fair amount of time between heats and the main, you could conceivably get by on one 4S lipo, but I'd rather have at least two.

1 pack can easily last you both qualifiers.. if you don't do a lot of pratice laps.. and if it has a 2c or better charge rate it shouldn't be a problem to get it peaked in time.. if you only have 1 a-main if you have dual or triple a's or if you make the bump from the b main you better have two packs. 3 packs is a little over kill....

As for the original questions.. the tekno conversion kit is by far the best, second best would be rc-monsters mount with losi's tray & parts, third best is losi's full kit, 4th best would be castles.
