lol, I just came from your other thread for the 8ight buggy and when I saw these pics, I at first thought you just put truggy tires on the buggy! :smile: But I see the differences now. You like consistency don't you? :wink:

Nice and clean layout (although the vehicle itself is dirty)...

They are both right off the track http://arcshobbies.com/signup.html http://arcshobbies.com/ I ran against the nitro guys and took first in the truggy A main (10min ) and third in the buggy B main.

I will get them cleaned up, dont worry. LOL

BArevo, where did you find that screen material to protect your fan?

I've been going through the huge 1/8 electric post on rctech. Has anyone finally tried a 1509 in a buggy? I've got a 8ight waiting to be converted, but its on hold till the MMM and I see some results of the 1509.

The screen material came from the housing around the light bulb for a industrial projection screen tv.
The one on my buggy is .060 lexan with holes drilled in it. It keeps the fan from seperating from the housing. I have only had 1 fan failure since I installed the "screen" I have two full seasons on the buggy.
Tonys screws just recieved his 1509 so he will be posting soon.

For screening material, you can use a thin sheet of "expanded metal". Looks like this:

Most metal shops should have a decent selection. Even Lowe's/Menards might have some.

Or, you can cut the metal screen material from a cooking sifter or a house screen door.

Or, get some fan guards from a computer store.

Thanks for the info guys. I'll keep checking for Tony's 1509 review. If I remember right he wants to try it on 3S. That's going to draw more amps than a lower KV 1512 on 4S. I'm hoping to run a lower KV 1509 on 4S.

What kind of maximum runtime do you see with this combo on the track?

Very clean layout BTW...

I have not run it longer than 15 min at the track. I will update you as soon as I can.

any updates??

I just bought my 8ight race roller today and am a little giddy... Weeee Now I just need the MMM to hurry up..

How long did it take to get your stuff from rc product designs?...just wondering b/c i ordered a losi 8ight-t battery tray on april 8th.....and its still not here :no:....just wondering :yes:

Dan said that all orders for the 8 trays/kits should be sent end of 1st week of May but not sure if that is this week or next week

This weekend they are being boxed up.



Mike makes very good conversions too.

Sorry to be an absolute noob here :whistle:... but can anyone give me a link or two for people who make motor mounts or complete BL conversion kits for the 8T ?

Cheers,
Andy

Right here: :yes:
