Brushless Hyper 8
 

Hi, Im new to this forum, and l am trying to find the best/quickest brushless 1/8 motor for one of my Hyper 8. atm l am using a speedpassion 3.5t brushless motor, xerun 150A esc and 2 8000mha 11.1v lipo (in parallel) top speed of 99km/h, but still not quick enough. Does anyone know what it a good 1/8 motor?

would a Castle 1/8 Mamba Monster Brushless Motor 5mm 2650kV be better than a Tekin 1/8 Redline T8 Brushless Motor 4030 2D 2650kV? not to sure which one is better, whats your opinion?

Castle 2200 kv 1515 and rewire for series - 6s.

ok, would the Tekin 1/8 Redline T8 Brushless Motor 2650kV motor be any better? and what is better 2650kV or 2200kV and why?

2650kv on 6s is a bit high - 2200kv is better for 6s

The 2200kv has a longer rotor (more torque) and hence I think would survive better for sustained high speed.

You could try with a 2650kv - but it will have to be speed run or 2, cool down, speed run, cool down etc etc

If you really want one of the 2650kv motors, then I would buy the castle/neu without a doubt. Several member on this forum have used it for speed projects, and speed seems like your thing? You could run 3-4s for offroad track, and 5-6s for short speed runs.

I bet the tekin is a good motor too, but I haven't heard anyone using it on 6s with success.

If you wan't something reliable, run the castle 1512 1,5y 1800kv on 6s. Best buggy setup I've tried.

thanx for that mate, lm just going to keep it as it is, l just recently changed the wheel hubs, makes so much of a difference in handling wise!

Do you thing 1/5 scale shocks would fit the Hobao's?

I don't think 1/5 scale shocks are going fit, but surely some nice big-bores would fit just right:yipi:

I like the ones on the hyper 9e, with the full-alu caps. Thats what I've got on my hyper 8,5 Pro. The plastic eyelets in the normal caps broke the first time I landed badly.

ok, what would be the best diff oil for the hyper 8's? atm lm using stock diff oil
