Yeah I am addicted to the go fast stuff right now. Can you tell? I tried to hide it.

mac3194 · 04.17.2011, 10:44 PM

Haha that's how I was with my 8T insane speed on 6s with the MMM2200!!!

gtxracer · 04.17.2011, 10:52 PM

I can't imagine 6s....but I'm still gonna try it sometime.

mac3194 · 04.18.2011, 07:29 AM

What do u run 4s or 5s??

The D8T looks great, nice video's.

What is the setup in you D8T?

Thanks,
Nick

I run 5s. I use to run only 4s but wanted a little extra power and I really like it. Thanks nastety! Here's my setup:

Mike's conversion
44/15 gearing
Tekin RX8/T8 1700kv combo
Badlands on VTR 4.0 wheels
Neu SP 5000 46C 5S packs
MX-3/7955TG

Overall it's a very good truck.

That looks like a great combo. I just picked up a D8T this weekend and I'm going to order Mike's conversion also. I was looking at the 1900kv Tekin motor instead of the 1700kv and I was planning on running it sensored off of my MM Pro.

It looks like a great truck so far, can't wait to drive it.

The 1900 is a buggy motor and I wouldn't recommend running it in any truggy. The MMPro might be able to handle it for a while, I ran one in my RC8T for a little while and it did fine.

So I guess I should go with the 1700kv motor insted.

I can say that I do not know much about these motors but I really want to be able to run the motor sensored. Ever since I hooked up my SC10 with a sensored motor now I want one for every truck.

Thanks for the help,
Nick

All of the Tekin motors are sensored and work with the MMPro so you're good to go there. The lower kv motors are more efficient and give better runtimes. I think they run cooler but maybe that's just my opinion. The 1700 is a good choice you can run it anywhere from 4s-6s without worry.

Thanks for all of the info. This is exactly what I'm looking for.

Have you ever tried running this motor on 3s to see what happens?

So at this point in your build. If you were to do anything differently, what would it be and why?

Thanks again,
Nick
