Hey Guys!
thought id share this all with you

Ive been workin on a E-Hyper 8 conversion for the last few weeks and im almost done!

- RCM battery tray
- MMM 2200kv
- 5s 20c 5000mah Zippy
- JR Z590M steering servo
- Spektrum DX3s
- Badlands!
- Black sock shocks

lipo is on its way, should be here in a few days and then i get to drive the beast!!!!!







and both my rcs :)

i thought the green pinion was 32p?

i have no idea what it is lol
im not actually using it, i just threw it on there to look cool for now.
ive got a 14t mod1 comin in the mail :) (should be here monday)
i do know that green pinion is 18t which on the speed calculator is putting my top speed at over 80mph... lol lil too much i think :)

oh ok. then yah its a 32p pinion so it would not work on your buggy. lol. when i sow it i was like no way it works on his car. cuase i wanted to use it cause it looks sick lol.

On 5s w/a 2200kv motor, that buggy is going to fly! My mbx-5 on 5s w/a 1512 1900kv motor is so fast, that on dirt, I had to turn down my punch control and I am only running 80% throttle on my radio!

Buggy looks nice by the way.

i have it programmed to have no punch control right now
i have a feeling im going to be changing that after the first run lol
im expecting it to be rediculous

Running lower EPA is reducing ESC efficiency. I would gear down instead.

I would dial in tons of punch control, lowest timing, and adjust the throttle curve otherwise I guarantee you're gonna have a heck of a time controlling that power. On my Hyper 8 using a 1512 2d (kv=2700) on 4s is stupid power and more than I can use. To take a ~10 ft jump on a moderate slope, I only need about a foot running start before the jump - and that's IF I can get the tires to hook up.

BTW: The CC pinions are 32p.

The 2200 is a beast, i can clear my driveway off a plastic kicker ramp with about 5 feet runup.... its hard to hit the ramp cuz the truck is as wide as the ramp

I run no punch control, 0 timing and just have a smooth trigger finger

i forgot what i set the timing to... lol
doesnt matter im gonna be bashing most the time anyways :)
more power the better!
waiting for my lipo is killing me!!

[mambarustler]

Looking good, that thing looks killer like an

i just fabed a little platform for the receiver
and i cut a little slot on the end for the on off switch, it looks very clean like it was supposed to be there :)
and i also started to do alittle wiring, i routed the servo wire and i shortened up the esc wire since it doesnt need to go that far.
(cant really see wiring in pics, its more for the on off switch, i just spent like 2 hours messin around and makin it so im proud lol




lipo and deans and uhhh oh yea the 14t pinion are comin in the mail monday or tuesday
and on friday im using my pay check to order a DX3S radio system!! :)
i think im gonna run it on my jrx2i for a week till i get my dx3s though
i cant wait another week lol

[brushlessboy16]

Looks good, though you need a countersink drill bit :)

[coolhandcountry]

Ah sweet!
Nice buggy there.

looooky at my new controller! :) yay
DX3S FTW! Telemetry ftw!
ive got a sensor lassoed around the motor, idk if u can see it in any of the pics, its just a black wire
but i get motor temp read outs as well :)




messin with macro hehe

rpms set up :)

pics of sensor mounting location...




Finished!!!


and i gotta install the other receiver into my slash one of these days.. lol
one last pic
i was tryin to get the "Got Brushless?" and MMM motor in the same shot :)
