What Neu for 5s in 8T?

[kevin23]

awesome,thanks again

[kevin23]

I raced the 8-t today,the motor was awesome on the 5s like said.
temps never broke 130 on the motor,and for the moment the mmm is holding up.I have put a cc bec on the truck to try and take the load of the servo's off the mmm bec.
after the 15 minute main with a couple warmup laps,around 18-20 minutes total the 5000 5s pack took 4500mah,probably didn't have but another min or so in the pack.
so is 20 minutes about right for runtime or should it be a little more?
And the nitro guys really hate my electric's
here are pics of final results after the 15min mains
Thanks again for all the help and info,
Kevin

That sounds about right for a race...

I bought a 1Y for my 8T and so far only one 4s 5000mah lipo as I was unsure if this was the best battery to go for. Reading this thread should I go for 5s instead with the 1Y?

thanks for the compliment,the guy that qualified second was not happy with me and my flashlight powered truck
We have a florida state offroad series here in florida that is very large in attendance approx. 150-175 entries per race for the nitro race.I have been told by the series committee that i will be able to run with the nitro guys until there are more converted vehicles to have our own class
But the 2nd place qualifier said that my setup was great for club racing,but not for the bigger races because it is not "allowed",then I preceded to tell him that I can run it in the series next year
he was not happy,This is just the beginning of the fan hitting.
I don't see what the big deal is,my cars are the class I am racing in just not nitro powered.I am truely not any faster than when I was running nitro,I just prefer the elec's over the nitro.
I did have a hotbodies sponsored driver in the buggy class ask me alot about converting one of his buggy's

oh,forgot to mention that the guy that finished 2nd was saying he had the fastest truggy,wtf.
I told him my truck was a truggy and he said,"oh but,I was the fastest nitro truggy" lmao

You should tell him to put his money where you know what is and give you a straight drag race and then we would see who was the fastest!!!

BESIDES, ENVY IS AN UGLY EMOTION!
