First run today. Been working on the other truck and haven't had time to really test out the 8ight. Brought it to a field. That's what this thing needs, a big wide open space. Holy Ba'ath Party Loyalists batman
is this thing fast.
You guys are talking 6s? Whdaya nuts? 4s is out of control.
My motor was too hot to touch. Mamba Monster 2 2650kv stock gearing.
Thanks for sharing your experience Joe. I bet it's damn near uncontrollable at full throttle with that 2650kv in there.
My 8ight 2.0 is on a 2100kv and 4S and its absurd. Got the accel ramp in the ESC turned way down and it's still crazy. Was much stupider before turning the ramp down.
The 3.0 is getting a 1950kv as I might actually try to race it sometime and am thinking that is plenty. It might even be too much depending on the track.
Radio is here, steering servo is here, and all that's really left at this point is installing the electronics and getting it tuned/setup. This week for sure.
Go enjoy your ride. They're pretty damn tough as I have discovered.
I was just out bashing the 8ight 2.0, got a little cocky and flew around a corner out of my line of site. Forgot there was a tree there and hit it head on at near full speed. ( I R MORON) Nothing broke.
The front shock tower (a tekno piece) is bent but that will be easy to fix. I'm shocked it came out intact at all.
