Well, with the speed he is getting now you could set with a mm 4600 combo..

Very nice to see/hear that V8 roar though..

OK Brian, let's get it straight. Lipos don't explode, they just burst into flames. LOL.

Now, you guys are killing me again. I've never given any thought to doing a truck like that, but...I'm a small guy. I'm about 5'1" tall, but stocky. I like to ride dirt bikes in very sloppy places, so I have to ride a bike on which I can sit and touch both feet to the ground. It sucks to get stuck in the mud and not be able to touch the bottom of the bog. You just kind of sit there for a second and then fall over.

Anyway, I ride a modified YZ85. It has a 100cc can on it and weights less than 140lbs with a full tank. It is WICKED fast. The problem is that I have to rebuild the top end every 20 tanks or so and replace the crank bearings every third rebuild, depending on how hard I've been riding.

How is all of this sounding for a conversion. I'd love to do away with the engine and tranny. I don't need it to be as fast as it is now (100+ mph), but it needs to be quick. I could live with a 50 mph top end.

Anyone have any ideas?

I bet you are able to make them explode..

The bigger the conversion; the more it costs when you blow things up Aangel...

You know, I find myself looking to RC Monster forums more for its entertainment value than its informational value. You guys are nuts. LMAO.

I could see myself, after having wiped, laying on the ground, in the mud with my bike on top of me, just praying that the battery doesn't go up.

And when you least expect it, praying for your batteries to be save, the 150V 300A controller blows up right in your face..

Here is a thread I posted a little while ago of a Yamaha R1 converted to electric.

lol, this is pretty funny stuff. Like Serum said; I know lipos don't "explode" but you'd find a way to do it!

Let's just say you are very good at finding the weak spots in any system. :)
