I thought this might be interesting for those of you thinking about moving from 1:8th scale to something bigger without wanting to lose performance nor 4wd.
First of ... yes it's possible and a good friend of mine made this dream come true.
Chassis: FG Monster Truck with 4WD conversion kit
Tires: FG Baja Buggy
Body: MCD Race Runner V4
Motor: Lehner 3014/18
ESC: Schulze 32.170
Batteries: 10s SLS 4000 (final step will be 10s SLS 5800mah)
Video of his 1:6 ride
Moving around 26.4lbs (12Kg) this way takes around 1200W average (550mAh per minute or 32A avg).
I hope you enjoy the performance of this car as much as i did while shooting this video.
