My RC8T CE brushless build (tekno V4)

Here's, for comparison purposes, Mike's conversion chassis. I can definetly see what you are talking about with angle of the rear axle. In comparison Mike's uses standard RC8T axles, no custom ones unlike it appears the Tekno conversion.



Btw, I would definetly suggest, as you are, the plastic chassis braces. I went through several of the aluminum rod braces, bent them up pretty good, and one set of the more expensive aluminum braces. I've switched to using the plastic braces as they give some more support but also flex a bit and are cheaper to replace.

Yup, but when i go 46t and lower the center diff, then the RCM kit angles are actually way worse than mine..
And the RCM kit wasnt available anyway, so it wasnt even an option when i ordered..

The braces are Tekno`s, made only for V4 kit`s :) But i`ve read other places, that youre absolutely correct on the plastic braces vs alu..!

I've been running the following on mine:

5S with Badlands (1800kV)
spur: 50t
pinion: 16t

6S with Badlands (1800kV)
spur: 50t
pinion: 15t

6S with Baja Trenchers (1800kV)
spur: 50t
pinion: 13t

Thats about where i`m at now (approx 48mph@3.7v) :) But i run 1600kv on 5s, 50t/20t...

Not been over 130f/55c yet, even with outerwear cover on.. I think i`m in love with the cc1520..

Yeah I have a 1520 too... thinking about swapping the 1518 to the 1520 myself, especially since I'm doing 6S these days.

I was going to ask, but temps, etc. seem good with the outerwear? Is that an RC8T specific one?
