What gearing do you use in the Hyper 8? To get the 8ight to go 45mph on a 1512 2.5D & 4S would require a 17T-18T Pinion and 46T Spur. On 5S would require a 14T pinion. What run time you get?
How much extra run time would I get on using a 5S 5000 instead of a 4S 5000?


Losi 8ight
MMM V1 w/1.20
Airtronics MX3 2.4Ghz
TP 5S 5000mah
Neu 2.5D/F
