hello, any companies out there have 1/8 Onroad Brushless RTR?

DLS II · 03.24.2009, 08:05 AM

Not that I know of. Most of us are doing conversions. I'm currently working on an Evolva. I just took it to a machinist yesterday to have the motor mount slots cut in the chassis. Don

It would be sooo Nice if a company such as Serpent/Mugen/PRP etc.... could make a ARTR/ RTR 1/8 Onroad car BrushLess Lipo 4s and up car.

Losi/AE/Novak put their time into it, why can the 1/8 Onroad companies do the same?
The market is definitely there for it?

I was supposed to get a F108 from Serpent, but I think they have discontinued that model. I was talking with Mr. Baar (One of the Serpent's owner) and I told him I would get a chassis done for him as well to use for a 1/8 scale electric kit. I haven't heard anything yet, but Mr. Baar did mention they might do an electric version of the 1/8 scale cars.

I guess the Schumacher Speed Passion BL conversion is the way to go for the 960.

Here's my new video.

P.S. Click the HQ button on the bottom of the youtube viewer window for a superior quality picture, it deals with the motion much better.

Hi guys......I will Hi-jack this thread.....lol......I have bought Aldo's car.....

so, it didnt came in yet but ideias are flowing a lot......I have tried to convert a 835 serpent that is 1/10 scale.....no good for power I wanted, mmm 2650 with 4s.....nothing OMG but very good, dont fit at all........

So I saw the 960....now is mine......

The real question on the on-road cars is: for a Eletric car is there need to use the 2 spd transmission??? I ask this because it's the main problem converting this kind of car......

I need to kick some GP

setup i want to use until now is mmm 2200kv 6s.....but with mech brakes......

no need for 2 speed. a variable speed transmission was invented to keep an internal combustion engine in the peak of its powerband. an electric motor can make all its power right from the start and only efficiency changes. lose the 2 speed and kick some gp

streethot · 08.25.2009, 03:30 PM

Thanks to aldo who sent me the 960 already converted, its Ready!!!

MMM with 2650kv motor
lipo 4s 4400 20C
44/18 gear

The car is amazing, it make's me look a good driver

, but I think the battery discharge is too low.....now I am goind to 4s 6600 20C.....with a good low weight........I am still lost on gearing......have downloaded Serpent software.......For Short Track I will be using 2650kv motor with 56-59mph top speed and for a long straight track something 70-75 mph but with 2200kv motor........what do you think guys.......???????

I think we need some videos - sounds great but think I'd go for a lower capacity and higher C battery...

I agree, but I will need to "import" that...........2 x 2s 30C 5000mah would be great right???

countryhick,
your car looks great. now i want to see vids of this other one too.

i have been seriously debating on buying this car. its only $300 right now for members.

its the kyosho evolvs 2005 WC 1/8 on road.
i have been planning on converting a IGT2 for a while but have been busy on my 1/5. and now i see this. the IGT would be easier to convert for me but the evolva would be the much faster racer. the other thing though is that where i live the only 1/8 on road races are all IGT classes. nobody has true 1/8 onraod around here.

anyone have any info on the evolva? any owners out there? how is it and would it be a good one to convert?

streethot · 09.11.2009, 05:33 PM

i know i know, Videos on the way.....

4s 6600mah 20C is not enough with CC2200kv motor.....fast on short track, and after a few suspension adjustments i could run at full throttle....

gearing tested 45x20 45x19 45x18, best was 45x20, by serpent software, 92km/h.....theorical, could be faster on the track, its already faster than 1/10

the CC2650kv motor I will not run again, too hot with 4s.....

now I got a 5s 5000mah 30C lipo, the motor will spin at 40k rpm, about 100km/h on the track,
