1/8th Scale Electric Conversion Guide
 

Please find attached an 1/8th Scale conversion guide written by myself with lots of input from guys on the forum.

If you have any questions please let us know.

Note: One mistake introduced in publication - if under geared INCREASE pinion size

Very nice article. I was thinking though, why did you mention maxamps and not zippy or neu packs?

I don't see them referenced - Where abouts? There is a pic of them and the losi battery... No battery suppliers are listed in references.

Great article!

Good article. Very helpful must-to-know-facts on brushless conversions. Will ease alot of ppl's especially newbies for their first conversions :yes: Good work!

Great article! My only comments are:

- E-Savage should read Savage Flux. The E-Sav is unchanged and remains brushed.
- Gearing rules should read "use larger pinion" for the undergeared, hot motor scenario.

Super article!

Thanks a lot!

Very nice article.

I've never done a conversion but I wish I read that a year ago when I got my e-maxx

Hey guys is there any brushless conversion kits for the hellfire? If anybody knows of one please email me at devast8r3436@gmail.com thanks.

On the last paragraph of the first page, instead of 8ight you said 8-sight.

sorry? So any bl conversions for a hellfire?

Good article,

Very helpfull, thanks!

One correction though: On page 3 it says Kv means Kilovolts. This is not true.
KV means kilovolts = one thousand Volts (note the capital V).
kv means rotations per volt, RPM/V (k = rotations)

Just an FYI ;)

Very helpful article. One thing not so clear though was the general rules for brushless gearing. It states if the motor is hot with a cool controller you're undergeared: use smaller pinion. If the motor is cool with a hot controller you're overgeared:use smaller pinion. They can't both need a smaller pinion. A hot motor would need a larger pinion wouldn't it?

yes, there is a misprint in there, he states that in first post

I should have re-read before posting. Thanks.

way to go... on your first post:whip: jk:lol:

welcome to the forums

Just trying to keep it real. :D

Nice work... one thing, at the general guide to gearing a brushless motor for undergeared it says use a smaller pinion. That not going to work. :oops:

cheers

Thanks - see first post the editor changed my text...

thanks this helped with some ?s:mdr:

Looks pretty good - if the page could be clearer. Thanks all the same.
