RC8FE Thoughts suggestions? - 03.27.2009, 06:54 PM

Hello my friends

I am considering making the following purchase...

Hitec HS-7955TG V2 High Torque servo
-- $98.95 + 6.99 shipping

5000mAh 6S1P 20C 22.2v LIPO battery E- RC8 SC8 RC8T 1/8
-- $209.95 shipping included

Associated RC8FT Electric Factory Team Buggy
-- $499.99 shipping included

Castle Creations Mamba Monster 2200kV Combo! NIB!
-- $258.78 shipping included

Am I missing anything besides some deans (I have a spektrum reciever and radio already) for this to be a complete reary to run set up and how do these prices look?

My basic goal is to put together a fast-reliable R/C without spending much beyond the initial purchase besides the usual broken parts and wear-tear. I am under the impression the driveline is able to handle the BL with no issues correct?

Thanks for any help you guys can offer!

Heath

Might want to add a couple Hardened Mod 1 pinion gears to the list. Other than that, it loks complete to me.


I can't decide if its more fun
to make it...
or break it...

Isn't 6S 5000mah on the big side. I run 6S 3300 in my buggy and and 6S 3700 or 3900 in my truggy. Everything else looks good, of course I am partial to a Tekno Conversion kit.


Losi 8B 1.0, Tekno V3, Direct-Drive, 13/48, RX8, T8 1400kv
Losi 8B 1.5, Tekno V3 w/clutch (3-shoe), 14/48, MMM, Neu 1512 2Y

Thanks guys :)

I just bought the 4000mah 6s 25-30c Zippy. At $125 I couldnt resist! Just means less time charging I guess... Do you guys recommend I change the diff oil weight and if so to what? I am pretty clueless here as this is my first BIG brushless RC. Going to be running the zippy with a Mamba Monster 2200 combo.

Thanks again for the comments ;)
