I just picked up a used 3.0e.....it has a 43t plastic center diff gear...and a HUGE pinion...and a 2650kv motor...looks like someone just bashed it around and set it up to run 100mph...

For the metal 45T spur....is it Losi part number 3552....(mod 1?)

I also plan on picking up some pinions to figure out the gearing....14t,15t and 16t pinions...it's got a 17 on it now..... wow...

******>>>> I was planning to run 4s....but is a 2650kv a 3s motor?


Here's a video of our new track layout...anybody want to suggest a pinion/spur/cell-count for that 2650 tekin T8 that's in it.....

Also...one more question...the internal BEC in this Tekin does not like the Spektrum S8000 servo with my Futaba R603FS receiver....like it has a brownout if I move the steering fast....but with an external BEC it works great...Do you guys run external BEC's or Capacitors when you see this happen? Or should my RX8G2 esc's BEC be enough? I was planning on putting in a Castle BEC and pulling the red wire from the esc plug unless you have a better solution....I have the castle BEC already from planes...


I'm glad to be back in 1/8....it's been 5 or 6 years since I ran it...with the first 8ight nitro when it first came out and for about a year after...
