How do you think that set up (MM esc, 8xl, ubec, 5s lipo) would do in a 1/8 scale buggy? I was thinking of running the same thing except with 4s, but 5s would definately be a possibility. Any thoughts?
Sorry for the thread hijack. :013:

Umm.. Absolutely insane? :P
Its hard to tell from the vid, but I almost never got to WOT on that. Anytime I did the front end came right up. It would help if I had low-ballooning street tires on at the time, but seriously, its got over the top power really.
If you put that on a light 1/8 scale buggy, with far lighter tranny (cent diff) and far lighter tires than those beadlocks w/ mashers....scary.
The 5s is almost too much for me actually (w/ that motor,) it def would be in a buggy. I previously had used upto 16 cells on the MMax, was wanting to see if it would do ~equiv lipos, and bought my first set for the 5s. I had heard & watched many times the power diff between NIMH and lipos, but i was a bit unprepared for that amount of power. IMO its on the edge of detonation on the ESC. I think the best bet would be a 4s setup, plus it makes weight balancing much easier. Otherwise a high-voltage setup, with low Kv motor would be awesome.
