my losi 8ight conversion
 

heres a couple pics of what i got done so far, 7xl is the one i got for sale, just in there for layout, 8xl is taking forever! and i have to wait on a mod 1 pinion to get it up and going, that zippy is long! anyone geuss what that is for a batt tray? i think it looks good and i did a decent job on it, i was afraid the gmaxx straps wouldnt be long enough, o but they are, should go pretty good and its well balanced also, i need to get a body that is not got stupid holes in it tho, someone wanna trade this one for another, this has not been run, the body that is, anyway lmk what you guys think:neutral:

hopefully my 8xl gets here tommorow, at least ill be able to get it almost ready, i wish my pinion could magically make it here tommorow!

What battery is that?

zippy-r 4s 4500 21c-31c

looks like monday is the earliest this is gonna see the track, cant wait its gonna haul!

looks pretty good. you might want to get a better servo though.

oh yea already got one coming, that was just in there, got a 2070 digital comin

Nice:yipi: I finished my conversion recently...mbx-5, mm esc w/ GriffinRu's mod 1, 4s, 9xl and it screams!!! HAVE FUN!!!

you got the 9xl? what do you have it geared for? hows temps? i might have to get another motor as my 8xl i think got lost in the mail

oh yea and the glass table im on... the new one we just got... noone tell my girlfriend lol

My temps so far are good...w/ the mod 1 done, the esc only gets to about 105. I have only run 3 battery packs thru it. It is geared 44-18. I chose the 9xl over the 8xl due to the fact that some forum members recommended the 9xl due to better temps. I did speed runs on my last battery pack and I ran the car v/hard and the motor was only warm. (Not sure of temps as my batteries died in my temp. gun) The 9xl is only temporary as when Mike gets the Neu 1512 2.5DF motors back in, I will be getting one for my Mugen

you run the mod 1 with a fan also? because i ordered up some 5v fans ill be putting one on this speedo

As of right now, no fan on my esc, however, that may change in time. I have a mmm esc on order from Mike and that may end up in the buggy before all is said and done or it will go into my maxx conversion w/ 5s.

Here's my conversion: http://www.rc-monster.com/forum/show...x-5+conversion

looks pretty good, hate to say tho, mine a little cleaner! lol just kidding man, how it work on the track?

Yeah it is a little dirty...and untidy. (As soon as it was ready to run I ran it in my driveway and in the back yard and did not clean it up before pics.) I have since neatened it up a bit. I have not had it on the track yet...however, I was jumping it the other day and it is a tad heavy on the battery side...no surprise there. All in all I will not do much racing, at least not competitively. All i wanted out of this conversion is bragging rights w/ my friends.:mdr:

some pics of my 8xl in there, ran it at the track and it was almost to fast for the length of it!, ran for about 10 mins solid went through, 2500 mah, temps were 150 mtr, 150 esc, without fan, could go down a tooth on pinion, but we will see, thing fles smooth tho! and takes a beating! went until the shock piston bolt came undone! oil everywere!
