The next phase of my High voltage small trucks
 

Many of you saw my 4s powered stampede in the temp forums, it was waaaaay too unstable and broke the diff and bent some parts in a bad wreck. Ok, I tryed putting it in my T3 stadium truck, Better on stability, but it was a bit short on top end (topped out at about 30 MPH, nice but i wanted a bit more). So now i am looking at a GT conversion, I had a friend pass away recently and I was left a GT associated and really didn't need another Nitro (However i thought hard about a BB conversion with a .30 sts engine, but na) I made a plate using three of the four motor mount holes to allow me to mount my Revo Motor mount( RC-Monster one) and have it mounted. Its a bit off, but close enough to see if it will do what i want. Tomorrow I will finish it, Its got my 1200XL lehner motor and quark 80, thats been used in the other high voltage projects, but this time I got a steal of a deal on a 5S flightpower 2500 25c Lipo. In both of my other setups, i never pulled more than 50 amps peak, so i think 2500 will be enough to push this setup as far as i want. I am aiming for between 35 and 50 with maybe 30 minutes runtime based on other experiments. I got over 40 minutes with a 3700 4s Flightpower in the stampede. I weighed it today and its 4 pounds 3.7 ounces, thats Minus the reciever, the external BECand a battery strap, I'm sure i can keep it under 4.5 pounds easy

Sorry it took so long to get back on this, but i now have pics for you to see. Here is the layout of my E-GT, sorry for the dirt, it had just finished its maiden voyage. Yes , thats a 5s 2500 flightpower evo 25 pack

how does it handle? rear traction? wheelies????????:yipi:

must be nutz:lol:

Very nice. You can go all the way up to 10S lipos with a suitable controller :yes:.

It handles pretty good, it only runs about 30-35 so its not out of control. With the layout i thought i'd have trouble controling it, thats not a problem. it starts straight and brakes straight, it will wheelie if i hit it right

Next we need a video.

Nice job. Similar to mine kind of... actually not really. :lol: How long is the Flightpower pack? I didn't think a normal sized lipo would fit, so I was planning on getting the Max Amps 5500mAH saddle pack... which is a square shaped. I would much rather get another lipo pack though, so I definitely will get a normal shaped one if it fits.
Here was GT: :smile:

My pack is a 2500 mah flightpower evo25 25c 5s, its 5 1/8 inches long. It barely fits between the upturned sides.
