10s Losi 8T

I am thinking of taking off the HV 110 and 1515/2y off my Revo and putting it in my Losi 8T. it should be fast and run cool as hell, since I have built the 8T it has been my prefered rig. I should be able to gear up and not worry about heat. My 5s 3700 packs will be too much weight though so far I am thinking I might have to run 2 5s 2500 packs in series

so I finished the conversion and I was lucky I didnt have to do any rework with the wiring(desolder, resoldering) I am using 2 Flightpower 5s 3700 cells in series so the battery side is heavy around 950 grams. Iam not a racer so I will see how it goes but I would like to get a couple of 5s 2500 packs to get a better weight balance on the chassis

Yep, a smaller lipo weight will help... Get the neu 2500 cells, you can arrange them as 2 5s packs end to end, as they are only around 100mm long.

thats a bit long for my battery tray, its just under 170mm long I was going to place them on top of each other....maybe I can cut the end of the tray to accomodate laying them end to end

Wow thats alot of battery. I am not familiar with the kv on that motor, what is it?

1515/2Y = 1100kv. Somewhat fast on 10s for a truggy with 40k+ rpm. As a basher with smaller pinions it should be a lot of fun. Otherwise simply too much power for track use. Loving my 1515/2y on 9-11s A123 powering my truggy, buggy and truck. 3700mAh should give some decent runtime. 2500mAh is the way to go with 8-10s.

pictures, video?

the 10s 1515/2y setup has the same power as a 5s 1515/1y but runs ALOT cooler

Okay thanks guys.
