Brushless 1/8th on-road?
 

Has anyone ever converted an 1/8th scale on-road car like the Serpent or Kyosho to brushless?

Just wondering, have not seen one, would love to see one, would like to have one even more.

Rene im toying with the idea of converting a1/8 onroad to BL my self. :smile:

I'd love to help you out if possible Mike.

Yes you can help me rene even from across the pond :lol:. Im thinking about a MUGEN if i do this. There maybe other vechiles i can look at also. Do you think 4s would be enough for one of these cars ?.

5S would be easier.But 4S would do, it will take a higher KV motor.

Okay Do you think a maxamps 5s pack would fit or front to back or do i have to mount it side ways & what kv should u shoot for ?.

Just throwing in my two cents worth. For most applications, 4S with a 2600kv motor does nicely. For insanely fast speeds, you can jump up to 5S with a lower kv motor and use gearing.

We got our Kyosho Inferno GT up to 94mph running a 1900kv Neu 1512 motor on 5S.

AANGEL any help is appreciated. Im thinking about a MUGEN because of parts avalibility & my friend can get them. What do you guys think about using a lehner basic xl or maybe a 9l if there is enough room to start with ?.

Sorry, did'nt even think to search. Is there any word on a conversion for the Serpent? My LHS has two in stock and have been drooling over them, when I thought how cool would it be to make them brushless.

My problem is no access to machines or materials for these conversions.

Rene is a lehner basic XL or a feigo L sized motor enough for a 1/8 onroad on 4s ?. The main reason im thinking 4s is because the packs are smaller. The car im looking at is a mugen mrx4.

i would go for the L sized feigao, since it has more torque.

4S should be enough.

Rene thank's for your repliy. so i was thinking a 8L or 9L, how would that be ?.

Since the cars are fair light, a higher KV wouldn't hurt; but a feigao 8L might require some tuning in the gearing department to avoid it from getting too hot.

I happen to know where a certain 9L is hanging out. :yes:
