I have a Z-CAR ZMXB-8 here which I have to convert to brushless for my team racer. It is the same as the LRP buggy. I already have the RC Monster mount for it. He will be running 2 - 2S 5000Mah Li-Po's. Do you think the Mamba Max 2200 would be a good setup? I am fairly new at this brushless stuff because I run Nitro. I would use the Xceleron set-up, but everything is out of stock at Horizon.
For the Mechanical brakes, I see how you set it up, but how is it wired in? Does it connect to the receiver for the same channel as the ESC? Any help with this would be appreciated.

What diff oils do you other z-car owners use, I can't get it right with this buggy

I think my racer runs 5, 3 , and 1. He does very well with this setup, but he is also very smooth with the throttle.

We don't have to do the conversions anymore. Z-Car is finally releasing their Brushless Pro kit. I have some on order and can't wait to build one and try it out.
