I sure do hope you plan on gearing down for SoCal... My Hyper 8 is geared for about 33mph right now, and if anything it's too fast. You're not gonna use more than 1/2 throttle geared like that, and you can also have better low-end throttle response with a smaller pinion.

Well... when i ordered the spur gears, pinion, and motor mount... Mike didnt have pinions in stock cept for the 16 tooth... and since there 12 bucks a pop + shipping... i cant afford em at the moment nor would they be here for tomorrow... so ill probly just drive it. the whole point of going down to socal at the moment is to break the batteries in and make sure the mamba can handle at least a 5 minute race under power. If its still toooo fast ill drop down my EPA on my throttel to artificially slow the car down. but i think it will be fun none the less ^_^

Nice conversion!
Those NEU lipos looks very slick!

How do you charge them, seperatly or together?

I charge them seperatly, i have 2 chargers so it takes about 50 min or so to do a full charge.

Socal was awsome over the weekend and i went to revelation on saturday. Socal i was doing the back quad with no problems when everyone else was double double doubleing. Revelation was awsome too, i made a 25 min main with a battery swap mid race ^_^ was fun to keep up or go faster with some of the fastest guys out there (chad Bradely, etc etc)

I heard you did indeed race on Friday in 4wd mod, just like you said :party:. A guy who works at HP races stock 2wd truck on Fridays. Speaking of work, you didn't stop by HP in FV on Friday! BTW, we're gonna still be at SoCal on Thursday, I'll be there at about 6.

How's the layout at Rev right now? I haven't been there in a few months, but last time I went, there was a huge triple that the nitro guys weren't even attempting. I cleared it every time :rofl: (although not always on the wheels :oh: ).

Yeah i didnt get a chance to stop by HP because i carpooled with a buddy of mine that also raced 4wd Mod with me... And Yeah i saw Geo there too

Rev has had only 1 track change since you were there (sad isnt it). Rev's layout isnt to "technical" right now. There is really only 1 section of the track that seperates Expert from sportsman, its a triple double section right off the strait away thats a bit tough to get if your not square... My buggy worked awsome... i ran a 25 min main with no problems and i had gobs of power to work with. When gas guys had to take a corner wide to clear a triple, I would just hug the inside and blip the throttle to make it over the jump :yipi:

Whens your days off? ide love to hit the track with your Hyper 8 to see how it compares... maybe we can work out a saturday or something... those are my usual days off.

I only work on Fridays and Saturdays, but have school at varying times Monday-Friday. Sundays are an option for me to hit up a track.

I think im going to do the Airtronics race at revelation with my new buggy ^_^ im ordering some carbon fiber from Penguin RC to make a better battery mount... (unfortunatly Mikes is a bit on the expensive side) so i can make a reasonable time for battery swaps... gonna be fun.
