A new 8ight-T 2.0 is born

[PBO]

Not quite the build thread that others (Dave) have posted but...



Feel free to offer tips if you have them

[magman]

very nice build

[BL_RV0]

Looks good. I like the angled bullet connectors. You can mount your switch in the radio box. Just extend the wires a bit and shrink/ziptie them to the rx wires.

What is going on with the extra cap? Just adding to the bank?

[PBO]

I've got a TRX mount coming for the switch & I thought the extra cap might just be a good idea? the V2 has had plenty of Rustler speed runs through it

I think I'm stuck for out of the way cap locations? would an alloy brace work as a heat sink on a cap?

[PBO]

This shows the battery plugs. I'm going to mount some CF for the TRX to mount on, which should also raise the lowest motor wire above the rear CVD, it's a little close

looks good here are some pix of my 1.0 conv. my converted 2.0 is in the mail, cant wait!!!!!!

[OZ-RUSTLER]

Nice conversion PBO.
What motor you using?

[PBO]

Thanks Oz, I'm using old faithful, the 1.5 - love my Neu!!

I've repositioned the cap & added an additional...a photo or two soon

Looks nice i just started building mine what gearing u running? I read somewhere robinson 48 an 16

[PBO]

I'm running 48/20, which is about the limit for my 4S setup I feel. I've given it the speed run torture test on grass, 2 x 3300 packs back to back & everything ran as warm as I like

I went to the track yesterday & noticed the MMM glitch at startup...it chirped but had no steer or throttle for about 15 secs. It came good & I was nannaing it around for a while, then mid jump (a small one) I lost throttle & rolled forward for a heavy thump on it's lid

Closer inspection showed a fet loose inside the MMM, it was easy to see because the MMM was in half! despite cable ties

Not sure if Castle will look at as a replacement but I'm thinking of an RX8. I may be forced to use my MM until resolved

Yeah that rx8 motor looks sweet Did you have to grind down the chassis to run that 48 thooth? I ask because i just picked up the robinson gear and it hits the bottom.

I didn't need to but I'm using the Losi spur & I'm not sure if the RR is larger (I don't see how it could be?), which kit are you running?

I got the race roller. Yeah it's rubs at the bottom.
