Kyosho E-7.5 Finally Done - RC-Monster Forums

mwry13 · 01:22 AM

well i finally finished my buggy. its a Kyosho Kanai 3 as a base. I dropped in a neu 1515 1y/f with a pair of 2s 30c 5000Mah Neu batteries wired up in series for a "tame" 4s Setup ^_^ i didnt really have time to grab my camera and take a few pics of it yet because i was late to class... damn brushless car distracted me and i was late by like 30 minutes

but i got a minute or 2 of playing with it and i was very suprised. I've been racing for the better part of a decade now and I've never seen a 1/8 scale buggy do wheely's on command before... till now O_o

Anyway ill take some pics when i get home from class...

Mamba max ESC with Novak fan
Neu 1515 1y/f
2 2s 30C 5000 Mah Lipo Packs From Neu energy
Airtronics 359 for the steering department
Castle Creations BEC Set at 6V

I'll be down at Socal Raceway in Hunington beach friday with it too... ooh damn cant wait... 4wd Mod Buggy...

Wheelies, huh? What center diff oil are you running? My Hyper 8 doesn't do wheelies with Associated 30k in the center.

I hope you got a set of Hole Shots!

mwry13 · 11.06.2007, 10:24 PM

40k but i dont have a throttle curve set yet and i usually dont like to but under the circumstances... i think i may have to set one up... i wish i had a laptop to take to the track with me so i can change that stuff on the fly... and i dont think it helps that i was driving it like a normal nitro buggy...

and it was on the asphault with a set of old Crime fighters...

Hope to see pics. I love how my close to 14lbs truggy with the batteries that weigh 470g each placed forward in the battery tray does wheelies. I have a solid center shaft. I had the diff with Ofna's 50K oil and it was unloading to the front wheels. Now it is a much easier truck to drive with the solid center shaft.

Too bad I work on Fridays... Otherwise I, and my laptop, could join you.

Would you be able to make it to SoCal on Monday, assuming they're open? Due to Veteran's Day holiday I don't have any classes.

mwry13 · 11.06.2007, 11:48 PM

Negative... i have school Monday Nights and i usually work the morning shift... :(

MetalMan · 11.06.2007, 11:50 PM

Oh, that's too bad.

But if you want, you could swing by Hobby People in Fountain Valley on Friday any time after 3:45pm and show off your buggy to me in person

BP-Revo · 11.07.2007, 12:02 AM

Don't forget about me!

I also have a laptop (which I brought to SoCal last time), so between Metalman and I you indeed CAN change setup at the track.

Let me know the next time you plan to hit up SoCal (either of you) and I'll do my best to join you.

My CRT is ready to roll, and this time I have some spare just in case...

I ordered up some HoleShots which should be here Thursday or Friday.

How about hitting the track next Thursday - would that work for either of you? (I can't this Thursday, unfortunately).

MetalMan · 11.07.2007, 12:13 AM

As far as I know, next Thursday (November 15th), is good for me as well. I've got a bunch of stuff on the way - aluminum to make an extended CRT.5 chassis, a bunch of spares for the .5 and the necessary dogbone for the extension, parts to fix up my Dark Impact, and aluminum front and rear diff cases for my MT2 to get it to hold up to the torque of brushless. Add my Hyper 8 on top of that, and I've got enough running for a full day

mwry13 · 11.07.2007, 12:25 AM

mmmm thursday huh... i do have class but i wont really be able to make it there till at the earlyest around 5... and since i live in Riverside its a bit of a drive... in traffic... so unless something comes up where my 3'oclock class is canceled or i can ditch outa it... i dought ill make it... Fridays and the weekends are usually the best for me. My manager is pretty reasonable with schedualing since we have mostly part timers working there (like me)... ill definatly swing by F.V hobby people to say hi and all and then ill be at socal till racings over O_o

Oh I forgot - did you need me to order up any parts for you? I have to order some parts to fix up my T-Maxx to sell it, so now would be a perfect time to throw stuff in.

Even though mwry can't make it, did you still want to plan for next Thursday?

MetalMan · 12:41 AM

I get out of class on Thursdays at 5pm anyways, so can't make it to SoCal until about 6pm.

Added the pics by the way

Well Clocked the Car at 49.8 MPH with a gps unit today... and the buggy weighs slightly heavyer than a standard nitro buggy ( by about 1/8 of a pound or so )... i must say im very suprised with how well this setup works because i didnt think a Neu 1515 would run on a mamba max without significant cogging.
