losi 8ight
 
4 Attachment(s)
Just saw the other 8ight on here so I figured I should post some pictures of mine too.:027: It will be running a mamba max with a feiago 9xl c motor. The battery will be 5s 6000mah maxamps pack. So far I only ran it on a 5s 4000mah pack twice but the pack was not up to it so it is getting sent back, (thanks Austin):027: and being upgraded to a 6000mah pack. The motor mount was done my mike.

Then I get the battery back I will have to play with the diff oils. Currently there is still grease in the front and rear, 7000wt in the center. Hope you like it.

Very nice! I like those rim stickers, as well as the yellow paint scheme!

Nice! What kinda wing is that? Looks similar to the High Downforce wing made by Proline...

Awesome thing!

Who made that motormount? Great work!

I have seen the site; but where to get these wheel stickers?

What maxamps 4000 packs did you have? the new 50C thingies?

squeeforever 01.13.2007 05:15 PM

Thank you!

rcmonster made the mount. You are right the rim stickers are upgrade and the wing is jconcepts. The paint was just a simple two color spray can. I was disappointed in the yellow though. It was suppose to be flouresant. also the battery was the 50c ones.

Lookin good gixxer,
Are you using the stock spur gear?
How is the weight distribution like with you motor on the oposite side?

How is the braking with motor brakes only?

cemetery gates 01.14.2007 12:17 AM

Why were you displeased with the 4000's? I run 5s 4k's in my truggy with a 9xl and they barely get warm....

Bye:018:

I am running a kyosho 44t spur. The 4000mah packs didn't get hot but the tabs were getting hot enough to melt the shrink on the end, so I dont think they were able to handle the load or maybe a bad solder(not sure wasn't going to open it up because austin said he would exchange it towards a bigger pack).
as for weight with the 4000's the motor side was actually heavier. the brakes are fine with just the motor, that is the same way I ran it on my hyper 8.

So does the kyosho 44t spur fit the 8ight center diff then (without mods)?

gixxer 01.14.2007 01:25 AM

It should. I didn't try it but I know glassdoctor was running the kyosho gears on his and he had the stock mount. he has an old write up on his buggy and you should be able to see it in his review.
