Rc Monster Electric Conversion
Hey. Figured hear with you who knows on what's up.
Should convert one baja 5b. Bought Rc Monster Electric Conversion Kit - HPI Baja 5B and a new ss. Should run with Castle motor / esc. Will buy as large lipo as it can fit so I get long runtime. What contacts should I use, Traxxas TRX, 8mm bullet or what do you recommend. I think i go for 8 cells lipo(2x4 cells) Is there anything else I should consider before I start to build? Thanks |
Get this today,looks very good.
Now i whait for my new Baja 5B ss kit. I post some pic when i start build. http://i1195.photobucket.com/albums/...monster003.jpg http://i1195.photobucket.com/albums/...monster004.jpg http://i1195.photobucket.com/albums/...monster005.jpg http://i1195.photobucket.com/albums/...monster006.jpg |
Hello, again.
Now it starts to fall into some stuff. Wondering about Turtle one pice brak mount fits on Rc monster kit? Got some hopups today. http://i1195.photobucket.com/albums/...ps46914db0.jpg http://i1195.photobucket.com/albums/...ps539629d6.jpg http://i1195.photobucket.com/albums/...psb9a3d372.jpg http://i1195.photobucket.com/albums/...ps804095ff.jpg http://i1195.photobucket.com/albums/...ps7ffbca2a.jpg |
That looks very nice. Please continue to post your build pics
|
So far I have come now, waiting for the esc / motor from Castle.

You may need to customize the brace above the battery box as it interferes with the batteries.
|
I took my dremel and cut it off.
Are there any that are pre modded to buy? Or can i run without? http://i1195.photobucket.com/albums/...rossbar002.jpg http://i1195.photobucket.com/albums/...rossbar003.jpg |
I ran it like that with no issues. Mikes conversion stiffens up the rear a lot.
The castle brace also works if you could get one. |
Hey Painter, I just realized that you are over here at rc-monster as well as on the baja forums.
This site is where I'm usually at, I call it my "home" for online r/c. I can't wait to see your 5b run. Get ready to go through tires quickly!:yes: |
I bought hpi Flux org crossbar, hope it fits.
Should have PhatDad Billet Engine Brace Kit so it will be good enough. Hope castle come soon:whip: |
Ok now the esc and motor come soon.
Sitt and thought about how to connect everything. Should run with hpi org brake and CC Probec. How do I pair the receiver? CC bec in the B / C, steering servo in 1. But where do I connect esc and brake servo? Should I put it in No. 2 with a split? I have a Futaba 3 PM 2,4G. Thanks. http://i1195.photobucket.com/albums/...rboxhpi001.jpg |
Get the hitec 1/4 servo and a castle bec pro please
No need for a brake servo IMO... |
Want to avoid the heat generated from braking force.
Then go esc and motor cooler. And I'll run with CC Probec, Savöx 7.4 steering servo. Do you not think its a good ide? |

You are right, just plug a splitter into slot 2 and plug the esc + brake servo into the splitter. |
Its not needed the ESC and motor are not stressed under 60mph...
It just adds extra complexity - Unless you go fancy on brakes they are likely to overheat themselves. Personally I direct wire the servo to the BEC and have the ESC power the RX. I makes it easier for connecting to the castle link. |
I run the hitec servo and motor brakes, NO bec and NO problems.
|
I think I may test without mechanical brake and see if it will be good.
You've tested so it should go fine. And it's much easier to connect everything. Thanks |
I also run a hitec servo off the esc, which makes things much simpler.
People have been running "HV" servos at 7.4v because 7.4 is a bigger number than 6. A hitec servo at 6 volts is plenty strong enough to turn the wheels. People just like to brag about bigger numbers. |
Use a castle bec pro. Every truck now has a castle bec independent of th ESC be it a micro, micro pro, mm, mm pro, mmm or mmmm (I have them all in use).
I saves trouble in the long run. |
Got my esc and motor today.
Does stands that you should have on / off button off when starting esc? Where is the on / off button located ? http://i1195.photobucket.com/albums/.../On-Off001.jpg http://i1195.photobucket.com/albums/.../On-Off002.jpg http://i1195.photobucket.com/albums/.../On-Off003.jpg |
There is no on/off button. The esc turns on when you plug the battery in and shuts off when you unplug the battery. Those instructions were printed for previous controllers that did have a switch. Just ignore the switch part.
There will be a large spark when you plug in the battery. Do not be alarmed at this, it is normal. |
Thanks man.
That's what I thought, just wanted to be sure so I do not destroy anything directly. |
Now it is ready.
Premiere tomorrow. Hope that the boy comes with and film a bit so you can see what happened. http://i1195.photobucket.com/albums/...gidFlux001.jpg |
that looks sweet, nice job!
|
Some testing.

Now it has got to show what it can handle.
Not as clean as new, but it was fun. 5 charges in the sandy cavity. http://i1195.photobucket.com/albums/...gBajael001.jpg http://i1195.photobucket.com/albums/...gBajael002.jpg |
I think it's time to protect that ESC a little more.
Looks like you had a ton of fun. Now get cleaning. Nick |
Now I got there they mechanical brakes.
Chage the gearing to 15/56 before I drove at 14/57. A little movie about it, not so fun just a little test run. becoming winter now: ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgGJxD_Q2xo&feature=plcp |
Water sealed my new esc today.
Took CorrisionX and dipped the whole esc, in it. Have done so with a Mamba Monster before and it worked very well. Hope this will be good for soon the snow come. Some pictures of this .... The last picture is when I ran the E-Maxx on 6 cells. http://i1195.photobucket.com/albums/...risionX001.jpg http://i1195.photobucket.com/albums/...risionX002.jpg http://i1195.photobucket.com/albums/...risionX003.jpg http://i1195.photobucket.com/albums/...risionX004.jpg http://i1195.photobucket.com/albums/...risionX005.jpg http://rsb.se/gallery/files/2/6/6/1/sn_007.jpg |
Nice! I'm glad you got it going.:yes:
|
Today we went out and ran a bit in the mud.
Esc, t did well and went all the time. The car weighed 11.9 kg when we started but when we came home 16.7 .. Had to do a little cleaning. A little movie it became. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnnAy...1&feature=plcp |
|
Every time I see this thread, I become more and more jealous. That is a fantastic looking snow-buggy.
|
