Adam has one too and will run when he can. I don't have electronics in mine but hope to have it ready by spring "too many projects right now". John C also picked up a Campells car as well.

I know the "too many projects" deal. I may buy up Jeff Jackson's Kyosho Inferno VE. I just have to see how things go over the next few weeks.

I dont know what an AE8 is but Gene and I are Running RC8Be's

When I had talked to charles I thought he was going to run 8 min mains like the rest of the electric classes.

Final decsion will be Charles on 8, 10 or 12 for mains, but I suggested 8 min quals with 12 min Main. 12 minutes should be a non-issue for someone running 4S with a 2650 kv motor. The class shouldn't have to go longer than twelve minutes so people don't have to buy high dollar batteries.

If I get into this, I would want 10 min mains. I really don't care how long the qualifiers are.

12 mins is the absolute limit for my 1700kv on a 5000 4s battery pack I found at dalton. Of course I'm not running the best packs in the world

Edit: but as well I think electrics marshaling electrics is the way to go and its not fair if the 1/10th guys are marshaling a 12 minute 1/8th main and 1/8th guys marshal an 8 min 1/10th main.. just my 2 cents is all


Well that and I just cant concentraite on my car for more than 8 mins at a time my radio starts to get heavy

8 quals and 10 or 12 sounds good. A few test races to see if people dump before 12 min and adjust if needed sounds fine. I know Adams car dumped around 12 to 13 min at Dalton with a 1700kv and the esc was at 50%.

12 minutes and a 2650/4s combo is going to be hard to do from a 5000 pack. plus that setup would be uncontrollable on a track!!

i agree.....at least 10 minute mains.


found out saturday im getting 18 minutes from my 1700 and 5200 pack....19 minutes if im easy on it

Great input:

This is the place to post ideas and how to get 1/8 scale electric going and not have to compete in the nitro class. I know a lot of you guys already have E8's, but I'm not sure who they are and if they even race. Just trying to get the class a little organized not only at Loganville but other venues.

My buggy will not be here till the end of the month and it is killing me. How many of you guys are going to run 1/8th electric at the GCS. I think that with the once a month GCS race and some local races this class could get some traction and be a permanent class.
