12 Cell Brushless T2 Build Up - 05.13.2006, 02:40 PM

I got a associated T2 on ebay, and it just came in the mail today. I am ready to order everything for it (brushless) but i im not sure if i should get the BK wanderer 10s or 12s. I planed on geting the feigao 12s, but since rc-monster has a 10s, im not sure. Does anyone know if the 10s can handle 12 cells?

I also have a rustler, and i can belive how much lighter the T2 is, and im sure the T2 isnt the lightest truck ever.

12 cells would be a bit too much for the 10s for normal driving. 10 cells would suit it better for average driving, but would still be too much to control!

Well i decided to get a charger that can charge 4-12 cells, so im oped to different set ups. Which set up is faster. I want to go around 50-60 mph.

12s - 12 cell
10s - 10 cell
8s - 7 cell - 8 cell

The highest cell count will provide the highest speed simply because it has more power. The 12s on 12 cells will easily push you to 50mph+ depending on the gearing, as long as you have room to reach that speed!

I run my 8S on 7-8 cells or on 3S lipo. With good lipo's it is a blast..

45-50 mph with ease..

For a 2wd it is too fast. it wheelies if the tires can get grip. ;)

James, I would recommend a charger that can also charge lipos since its the wave of the future.

I have the adhd or add thing, so i wouldnt trust my self with any lipos till im like 18-20 years old. if i got some right know i would probably end up burning me house down. Would the 10s handle 12 cells, or would it get to hot?

Does anyone know if the 10s can handle the 12 cells without burning up? I want to order everything tonight.

It wont burn up but it will overheat very easily. Definately go with the 12s for 12 cells. 60 mph isn't the biggest trouble. Keeping the car on the ground is.

I ordered the 12s. This is everything i ordered........

- BK Wanderer 12s
- MGM 80
- 12 cell charger
- 12 Matched GP3700 batterys
- Paddle tires
- Front mohak tires
- 4 geolander tires
- 3 piece rims (black)
- 81 tooth spur gear
- front and rear red springs (firm)
- 2 spare dog bones

I ended up spending alot more money than i wanted to. Is the shipping from this site fast?

Here area few pics. I was thinking about puting the 12s brushless on 12 cells in the duratrax delphi indy car (Only 1 pound). I got bored last week, and sand blasted, and wet sanded the T2 chassis.
