That's a really bad idea. Never do that if you can avoid it.

Electric motors and ESCs are usually much more efficient at 100% or 0% throttle, than anything in between.

I do. In fact, that's the main reason I'm not buying an 8ight 2.0 yet, because they take away all the fun of building it.

I'm pretty sure I couldn't use the exact 90 degree horn position, because it didn't allow for even servo horn movement in both directions (same problem as you described).

I don't get how they expect to sell that thing when it's based on the older 1.0 chassis. But I'd still rather prefer to use my own electronics/choice of kit (although theirs isn't too bad it seems)....

In very general terms, total battery power capacity is its capacity (mAh) times voltage (# of cells).

In that sense, a 2S 4500mAh is equivalent to a 3S 3000mAh.

Right, I guess the price is another benefit of going for 1.0.

Wait, why are you even considering Losi 8ight 1.0 roller instead of 2.0?

The only reason to get 1.0 is if you want to put the kit yourself... right?

Am I missing something?

Would anyone care to venture a guess, knowing Losi's history, how likely are they to release an 8ight 2.0 in Kit form?

Or am I waiting for something that'll never happen... :rolleyes:
