Rc8b conversion

[trap121]

I just recently finished my rc8t conversion and love it.

Iam waiting on a rc8b to arrive now. Iam going to convert it to electric but need some opinions on my motor selection.

Should I go with Tekin RX8 1550 truggy or RX8 1400 Buggy set up. I will be running 6s.

I figured I could always tame the 1550 if its too much power for the buggy. Better more than not enough......I think

What servo should I go with?

What do you guys think?

On 6s, the 1700 buggy motor would do nicely and should run cool and efficient.

I've run the 1700kV buggy motor on 6S and it really is excellent, though it is outside of the 28k-35k efficiency range on 6S. I'm going to run it on 5S now.

I'd run the 1400kV buggy set-up if I were you, you'll get great efficiency, and the Tekin motors are definately powerful enough.
