My Losi 8ight T

[George16]

I spent my birthday with my son at the track yesterday. We had a blast. After a pair of 5S runs(5K Neu and 6K PQ lipos), my temps were averaging as follows: ESC-104, Motor-128, and Batts-97. AMbient was 64*F but a bit windy. I'm also running a 50/15 spur/pinion combo with 30K oil in the CD. This is difinitely color than my old setup of 10K cd oil.

Scoops? I don't know about that .

Happy birthday Lito

I thought about going to 30K centre, just incase the heat is coming from the front unloading too much. I suppose anything is worth a go as I can't see myself doing a 45min race with those temps after 20mins and only going half throttle. I am going to order a RCM mount so the 48 stock nitro spur can fit in without milling the chassis This would put a much less load on the motor and in turn hopefully cool things down aswell, just means I will be metal to metal on the spur and pinion

The air scoops I was picturing in my mind were similar to what you see on jet fighters, I thought not only would it suit a purpose, but look cool too

so I tried the 18 tooth pinion today. I was running in a field with short grass and after about 10mins the motor was hot, I am thinking at least 160 degs and the fan was spinning on the MMM, Lipos were pretty warm. I have since put the 16 tooth back on and will try that tommorrow, the grass certainly wasnt helping any. My FP 6s 5000 pack also only lasted 15mins so the motor was pulling it pretty hard

In my 8T I still have the the stock 10k fluid in the CD, I have been thinking about going up to 30k so let me know how it turns out
