3S Lipo in 1/8 scale buggy

[Cain]

thanks for the info everyone.

So what I am gathering is that I should stay with my 1512 2.5D motor, and just look into using 4S setup right now as it sits.

I currently use a 4S 4900XP Enerland pack (this is a new cell configuration, its 1/10 scale size, and I think the cells are similar to what are in a trakpower pack). It runs great, just need a little more runtime for my driving style (pushing it hard with my driving style I was able to do about 18 minutes last testing time, with stilll lots of wheel spin). I wouldn't mind a bit more speed though.

For you guys with RC8s, please look at my thread in the buggy forum.

Maybe a 1509 3D (similar kv to the 1512 2D) on 4S would cut down on the wheel spin and give better run times due to a lower draw motor and less wheel spin?
