Hb d8-e

[TRD4Life]

Converted my HB D8 to electric using a RC-Monster kit (these kits are top notch quality and very easy to put in!!!)

Here are the specs:

Neu-Castle 1518 1Y 1800kv motor
Mamba Monster ESC (gonna order within the next few days)
Zippy Lipo- 5S 5000 35C (got to order this weekend)
JConcepts RC8Be Illuzion Punisher body
Futaba 3pm & R603FF

will post more pics when it is complete

Nice. That's a lot of motor in there!

hopefully not.....i got it from a guy brand new for $75

he said he ran one just like it in his VE8 and loved it....nice balance, so we shall see

I'd dial in a little extra torque and/or punch control on the MMM. I thought the 1518 was a handful even in my truggy!

Are you sure he ran the 1518 in a Ve8? I run the 1512 1.5y (same kv, 1800kv) in my Ve8 (and love it BTW). The 1515 is right up against the steering rack, and a 1518 won't even fit. It is not necessarily a bad thing, just a lot of motor; fine for a basher, but way too much for racing IMO.

maybe thats what he meant.....i will have to check back with him

That motor is great, a little bigger motor will just run cooler if geared for the same speed. I'd run it on 6s though

i ordered some 5s packs so we will see what those do power wise

[el tomaso]

So, have you tried it? How does it feel? I bet you'll love that motor
