I think they are both nitro rollers. I dunno i just dont want to get something wrong.
So if I am reading correctly above that 6s should only yeild 60mph. Hmm. I mean not bad but....i dunno I was already doing that in the t4 so it does not impress me that much except for the obvious larger scale. I know the racers hate guys like me that are out for all out speed runs but like you said one more battery for normal running and im in the game. I just moved to N. las vegas and I havent checked out the scene for tracks yet so maybe some day....
Anyway I have decided on the MMM, def the lipos you mentioned (great value), Losi 8ight with conversion.
Undecided on the motor. I have read on 6s you should not go full throttle too long and Lee from CC said the 2650kv is only intended for up to 4s. Just what I have been reading. What about the Medusa Motors? Cheaper and if I burn one up it wont hurt as much. I dunno. What do you think. You did not say but have you have ran 6s on yours Hoov?

The 8ight 2.0 is the most recent one that just came out. I have the old one, so I dont know the difference between the two. I'd assume the 2.0 has some advantage/improvement.
as for the speed....Thats 67mph with the gearing set at 14/46....I just realised that the kit comes with a 45t spur...and I use the plastic 44t kyosho one...also the kit comes with 15t and a 16t pinion gears... So breaking 70+ will most likely be the case.
The castle motor is rated for upto 60000rpms. For speed runs, you will be fine....but you dont want to run those rpms without temp checks. also, you will be hard pressed to find an area you can run full throttle for very long...other than a drag strip or an abandoned airport.
The 2650 is under 60k rpms on 22.2v(6s) so it should be fair game....
as for me.... yes, I ran on 6s geared 46/15 with a Tekno Neu 1515/1y. I was doing just fine until I gave the controller to DickyT
. jk rich
But anyways.... The buggy was running like a bat out of hell...until the foam came flying out of the wheels. They must have ballooned to the size of dinner plates...it was insane.
