Thank you sir. Any of you guys use the stock black springs?

Newbie ? Can I run the mamba max pro esc with a tekin motor in the rc8e? I was think about running the 1900 kv motor in the buggy if that helps

I'm using the stock springs, front and rear.

Is your Grid mount the one with the "Inner Pinion Support"? I couldn't tell from the pics.

Inner pinion. Outer only supports up to like 15 or 17 tooth. And the outer has an arm that comes around to support the motor shaft.

Hey guys, I am getting ready to run my first electric outdoor season with my rc8be. The mains are 20 minutes, so lasting the duration is top priority.

So I am looking for some experienced racers to compare and contrast the following setups:

2650kv on 4S 5000 mah, 14T pinion
1900kv on 4S 5000 mah, 19T pinion
1700kv on 5S 4000 mah, 17T pinion
1350kv on 6S 3000 mah, 19T pinion

Thanks for any information/advice.

You must be running in the Nitro Mains.

2650kv on 4S 5000 mah, 14T pinion
1900kv on 4S 5000 mah, 19T pinion
1700kv on 5S 4000 mah, 17T pinion
1350kv on 6S 3000 mah, 19T pinion

You might also look at a 5500 pack. That would get you there with a little to spare.

you shouldnt have any problems with that setup at all, in fact he MMP is even a sensored setup! The SC8e RTR even comes with a MMP stock so someone at Team Associated must think it works well enough for 1/8 scale use.

I just picked this pack up, seems well made.

50C 5600mah

You'll be happy!! Protek makes awesome lipos!! I have the 5600 65c 2s I run in my b4 and it KILLS it on the track! Youll be pleased with your 4s

Holy expensive battery pack Batman!

Yes, you can, but you will most likely not be able to run 6S. I tried an MMP with a Neu motor in my RC8Be, and it worked fine on 5S, but for some reason, it would not work on 6S. So I'd say, if you're going to stick with 4S or 5S, then you should be ok.

Looks good! What is your ride height set at?

curious to know recommended ride heights for outdoor big tracks... Is a ride height gauge necessary?

shock oil weights???


thanks, I'm new to the 1:8 buggy but love it!

Yes a ride height guage is necessary as is a camber guage. For large outdoor offroad tracks I ran the following setup with great success:

5/5/5 diffs
10 hole GHEA pistons
Stock front springs/OFNA yellow rear springs
25/25 shock oil
28/30 ride height front to back

Great car and this setup gives it a very neutral setting!
