If the diff ratio is 4.3 then those calculations are on point. I dont think I'm hitting 60mph because my foams are just not gripping. I'm running 2 35c Hyperion VX 3s 5500mah so the packs are more than enough. Maybe I'm better off with the 2650kv for the type of stuff I like to do. The buggy is already leaning to the left with all the weight from my 6s setup.
I wanted to run 6s in my RC8Be buggy but a number of guys here said it wasn't a good idea. I talked with the one of the castle creations guys and he said he runs 6s in his RC8 all the time; just make sure it's at least 5000mAh and 30C he said.
How does your buggy run/handle with the 6s? Does it get overly hot or does it tear up tires? Is it controllable and fun to do speed runs on 6s?
