My first converison losi 8 - RC-Monster Forums

**My first converison losi 8 -** 08.28.2009, 01:22 AM

Well I recently pick up a used Losi 8ight rtr on retech for hella cheap.This will be my first ever brushless conversion and a rcm mount

.It was supposes to be my race project but school started no time to go to the track.Running a neu 1512 1.5df on 4s spc 8000 in series.Mounted on a matrix carbon fiber chassis(couldn't afford the shock towers)

Its also my first time ordering from RCM the first thing that I notice was that shipping was super quick.

Bushless motor mount,some caps,and a 16 tooth mod1 pinion.I order on Sunday and receive it on Wednesday.
Here is a teaser pic

So what do you guys suggest for the spur how many tooth?
I'll get more pic tomorrow.

well being that the 1.5d id 3300 kv, you will need like a 10 or 11t pinion with the 46t spur, and if your running the MM goodluck, mine would near thermal after 5 mins because the 1.5d is such an amphog

the 46 and 48 tooth spurs fit with the RCM mount?

yes, dpending on the top plate the 48 will work, the 46 no problem

Well my matrix carbon chassis come in today and various parts for the 8ight.

Matrix shipping was slow maybe because I pick the lowest shipping possible

Hey does anyone know if Losi make a shock rebuilt kit I need the two o-ring and the little spacer?Idk I try to build it again but the thing keep leaking but my front shock are fine.

Sorry you guys I've been sick for the last week and didn't work on the truck that much.Also Matrix were a little off on the front bumper mounting holes

I'll have to sand down the front a little.
