I would love to see some video.
I was planning on running mine tonight against other 1/8ths at my local club as it turns out it has been raining and it also looks like I have to go into work  |
Last night changed to 5S Lipo, and use Losi ESC also, gearing the same. Test run and found Top speed comparable to Gas Powered 1/8th.
While Out of corner acceleration and start acceleration.... is totally different world ..
Another thing found is after changing ESC to Losi, and changed the timing to "low", also with two heat sinks added w/ thermal glue, the motor temperature dropped to 48deg cel only!! and ESC temp around 43deg cel. after continuous run.
Attached some photos after the changes.... should go to the track for a first run and try to take some video next Sunday.
