questions before a LSP brushless project
 

Hi all

I'm new here and I will like to get your help to build my first brushless truggy .
i have allot of experience with electric RC but i never done any nitro to brushless conversion yet.

i want to convert a new HB LSP with a Novak HV maxx system
i know that allot of people don't really like this system but i think it will satisfy my needs.
i want to build this truggy for racing tracks so i don't care about the top speed or thing like that .

i think of getting the hv maxx with 5.5 motor and use it with a 4s lipo

now the questions
do you think the 5.5 motor is too fast for driving on track?

what pinion size should i use?

do i have to change more parts accept the brushless motor mount that i will buy from the site store?

how much running time i will get from 5000mah 4s lipo?

do i need a ubec?

thanks all
i really want to start build all ready

Welcome

You should just need the RCM mount - I would get the 5mm rotor upgrade - Check out the novak area as they were offering to give a few away.

The battery trays are worth looking at - The speed calc can be used below to work out your pinion - Gear for about 37mph for the track

ok i have a brushless LSP with the novak kit so i will try to help

the 5.5 is to high a kv even the 6.5 is too

i have a 6.5 geared 11/48 at 11.1v the top speed is 36mph

i race so this is alittle higher than i want but it stays very cool

power is supriseing good

the only other parts you will need to get started is a plastic center diff gear and a pinion

im useing a castle creations bec since in only useing one battery lead and a 3 cell novak smart stop for the lipos

im getting about 20-30 min of run time on a 5000mah lipo on tight tracks

here is mine http://www.rc-monster.com/forum/showthread.php?t=14909

thank you for your replay guys .

so maybe i should go on the 7.5 motor?
and if i will use a 4s lipo it will cause the motor to get warmer then with 3s?

also a friend of mine advice me to go on the mamba monster esc a neo motor

so what you think?

if you are going novak then i would go with the 7.5

i would wait for castle to figure out how to fix their problems with the mmm

neo motor? i havent used a neo yet so i dont know. if you can afford a Nue motor then its worth every penny, a 1515 1.5D would be perfect
