Speed passion 8th scale BL?

Anyone see that? Doesnt interest me, but more 8th scale BL stuff, for even more BL racing

Looks cool. But why do they need to convert it to a single speed? Id just run the RCM speed pinion adapter and leave the 2 speed to keep the current lower on acceleration.

Not sure about those low capacity battery packs either.

Nice find, battery looks interesting

I'm just wondering if they've even tested the system with that battery. Most of us wouldn't dare try and run a pack with that low of a capacity at 4S.

IDK what kind of run time there shooting for, but im sure that would make a 5-10 mins race... It would be dumb, but hey, its another way/form of BL racing, and if it gets people in I dont care lol

The problem I see is with the current draw. They are shown as 20C cells. At even 3100mAh, that's probably below what the motor is going to see a fair bit of the time under race conditions.

I think the same thing, there conversion should of modded the top deck, not just fitting lipos into where the gas tank should be

Then bigger lipos that anyone wants to use would have fit

I am curious how the ESC will hold up. Looks cool, but impractical with the battery size. Seems to me many of these manufacturers aren't really talking to the innovators to see what really works.

Yeah, 4000 mah is the lowest, even still you couldnt make much runtime for longer races, usually a race for a 8th scale onroad is a hour, going from that to not even 10 mins is no fun!

I spoke with a little bird and that little bird said, "Late July or mid August you will receive something from us". All I know if the normal controllers are up to version 2.0 and the 1/8 scale one will soon be tested if the manufacturer doesn't let me down .
