My converted Losi 8ight
 

I just finished my conversion.....

-RCM Batterytray and motormount
-Fiegao 8XL
-Mamba Max
-CC BEC
-POLYQUEST 5000mah, 4S
-Gearing 16/48

I just got the wiring ok, however, when i get my MMM it will be changed. I have a Medusa 36-60-2000 waiting to be put in there but as the medusa is very "open" im waiting om the neu-front/back-cover (if anyone have a good solution on how to solve the "open-ness" with the medusa, please let me know, with picture if possible).... so this is not the final product. But here goes:

I like the solution to the viring to the fan, really easy to replace if necessary

looks good man , i`ll be going tha easy more expensive way of the Tekno conversion when they come out :P

your planning to fit the end cover on the medusa? sure it will fit? those trays are very tempting... but just too expensive when you need 2! i think i will be doing so home made ones first... nice once again

I am aware that the rear cover will not be a perfect fit..... there will be some mod, but until i get it i cant know for sure.

yeah, just making sure... u could ask mike to make one, as he personally makes the covers too!! which is why it was so easy to just mill out a bit more to allow for the screws in the newer Neu. but it looks very tidy.

Nice neat install, have you had the chance to run it yet?

To solve the "open-ness", cut a piece of lexan. For the front, sandwich it between the motor and the mount. For the back, see if you can use a small length of heatshrink to hold it there.

I think mike has a design already for Medusa covers...

Yes, but just outside my house, it has been raining for a week now :diablo:


Thanks for the tip, i might try that


Does he? Ill try and send him a e-mail.... thanks for the tip

Now i got a Medusa 36-60-2000 in there......

Runs great!

Still raining?

Another sweeeeeeeet conversion over to the dark side:eyes:

No, i finally put it to the test, it runs really nice! after 30 min of driving on the track the motor was 59 Centigrade..... gearing is 14/48 but its a little to slow so im going to try 15/48 or 16/48. But i am very happy with the medusa... it seems to be a nice alternative to the Neu.....

I just got a new wing, body & tires:

Now im just waiting for the second batch of MMM to ship out from CC..... then it is complete.....

nice little job on the end cover, the openess doesnt bother me on mine, a little blow job once in a while is all it needs, i just goit a heatsink for mine, it was needed

I thought it would be nice to be on the safe side, it was easy to make a end cover out of lexan so..... I have heard that the medusa tends to run hot..... however it is allot cooler then a Feigao XL, thats for sure......

Nice work, what ride height are you running? And what diff fluid?

FRONT: 2,32mm sway bar/Silver spring/45 (Losi shock oil)/~25-26mm Ride high
REAR: 2,32mm sway bar/Green spring/40 (Losi shock oil)/~27-28mm Ride high
DIFFS: 5/10/2

Is your track rough at all?

L8 V2
 

I just made some changes.... i moved the battery tray forward so i could fit the esc behind it.... now there will be enought room for my MMM (When it arrives)

The only thing that was not quite as good was that the castle-link was not the right one, i got the one to the Mamba Max, but i guess that is an easy fix if we contact CC......

I will mount it and wire it up as soon as i come home from work.....

A MMM V2 was just fitted in the car:

I should get my Neu 1512 2d maybe tomorrow.... I hope so....

Looking good! I went the easy expensive route Tekno! lol.

I do like this setup though. Looks really clean, much better than rcpd IMO. :yes:

Thanks. I like it aswell..... as soon as i get my Neu 1512 2d with front and rear cover it is finally done (i think)..... i might have to do some kind of protection for the esc....... but that is not a problem.....

What do you mean protection for the ESC?

My Neu is here....... but his is what i had to do:

The front bearing gave up..... put i new in there....

Anyone know why all I can see is little white boxes with red X's and no images, the only image I can see is the one of a track, doh!

That is all I can see aswell
