I like the motor mount. Nice and easy to adjust the gear mesh. I already had a converted 8 but if they release a complete kit I will probably buy it.

Freaking awesome! I'll be trying this setup out. ;)

Thats some sweet stuff, interesting the opted for motor breaks from the factory. they use weird #s like 420 wheels= 40 series + 20mm hub. 720 probably length 72mm and something. Cant wait to see this stuff released though its a bit late in my 8Ts conversion life to buy it unless that motor and mount are just retardedly sweet.

Just PM'd one of the Losi reps, Rich Trujillo. He didn't work on the project for the 8E, but this is what he had to say about it:

"Hi Brian,
Here is a link to the motor specs etc.http://www.losi.com/Products/Default...rodID=LOSB9557
All the parts should be out in late September.
Although I was not involved with this project, I have seen it run in testing and to me it was just crazy how good it was...yes I know I work for Losi, but I'm telling you, it works awesome and I might actually have to convert my 8 since I have always hated Nitro LOL

Rich"

I asked if he could come up with the actual measurements for us, so hopefully he'll be able to.

Sounds like a relatively large motor. Add to the fact that it's 4 poles, and it's probably pretty nasty torque-wise.

Nice. I can't wait to see rotor comparison pictures if anyone takes the dive on at least this motor.

So that's just a tad smaller than a 1515 Neu?

DRIFT_BUGGY · 08.23.2008, 01:20 AM

Amain now have them lised on their site

gixxer · 08.23.2008, 01:07 PM

wow that was quick. they also list the expected date as 9/12.

08.23.2008, 06:25 PM

If that date is accurate there not too far away .
What's Losi like with release dates ?

08.24.2008, 02:10 AM

being new to this...will any of the new Losi combo's be a good choice for a 1/8 CRT Truggy ?? ...still trying to figure out a motor/esc for my conversion...until i can afford a neu..lol...thanks for the help

It's nice to finally see one of the big companies with an electric conversion, but I would have liked to see a chassis along with it, that is more suited for an electric layout. Also, they should add the option to be able to use motor brakes and possibly a slipper with the center differential. Once the electric 1/8th scale becomes more popular with sanctioned races and the like, I bet that all of those will be available.

From what I have seen, Losi usually doesn't even tell anyone about their new products until they are almost released, so I'm going to guess that they will be pretty close to their set release date.

Sweet , i have only dealt with AE , Kyosho and Yokomo in the past , AE being the worst with eta release dates .
