Just finished
I decided to go a temporary route. I am waiting for the Tekin R8 ESC.
Until then I am running the following:
1. Losi 8ight buggy
2. Losi 8ight E conversion kit
3. Losi 5000mah 14.8v battery
4. Tekin R1 ESC with two 25v 1000uf capacitors
5. Losi 2000mah, 7.4v lipo receiver pack
6. Medusa 36 60 2000kv motor with factory heat-sink.
I am running the 15t mod 1 pinion that came with the
losi kit but have a 13t long shank pinion on order.
Test run was successful. Fast,, wheelies, motor barely got warm in 10 minutes. ESC was at 5 LED's. No fan, but running 8ight E body that has four holes from the factory.
What pinion do you guys recommend. How many LED lights do you think is acceptable on the R1? Is a fan recommended?
