What truggy to build.

[stum]

That tork motor is 2200kv, don't pay any attention to what the above statements were... that motor is 4s max out on the track, even geared down as much as possible 5s lipo is too much. 4s w/ conservitive gearing (38-40) and you will be in nice shape for basihng or racing. With a 4s setup in a truggy you can get away w/ the SMC 9k lipo's too if you wanted for long a-mains.

Thanks this advice makes sense to me. those SMC packs are great, either those, hyperion or the good ole zippy's. lol which is the odd one out? so you think the MBX6t or even MBX5t would be ok? i found tons of great truggies. biggest thing is price. i want to use the tekno conversion, it just looks so clean and complete. so the options are a Losi 8ight, MBXt, or an RC8t. all look promising. will the 2200kv motor fit the tekno mounts? thanks for the advice guys, i appreciate it, any more input feel free to add, and if you have a roller that is worthy of the conversion post it up or PM me, im not picky at the moment as im still in the air.

I'm not 100%, but I think that tork motor is of such a strange size that it won't work in the available tekno motor mounts for their kits. You may want to go w/ one of Mikes (RCM's) conversions instead, this will give you the needed space. I've been running tekno converts and they are great.. but I'm set to run a 8ight-e 1.0 w/ mikes mount and losi's battery tray and parts. It's all together, caint for next season!! LOL what a long wait I have in NY though :( Rebuilt my tekno 8ight-t to run for my truggy next season.. like new again, so also excited.

A small FYI : The Flux tork doesn't fit into a standard RC8T-e because of the bigger can.

If you go with tekno they have mounts to fit pretty much anything 40mm fit novaks 42mm fits castle and tekins 44mm fits nue's.

why don't pay attention? So you`re mister know it all? You sounded rude to me sir.
He asked for opinions, and i gave mine. Never said this is absolute truth. Nor yours. I used 6S on a truggy with success, and just wanted to share the recipe.
