My new 8ight BL build thread.....yep

Well I started this thread because I realize I ask to many questions and I did not want to clutter up the site any more. I started this one and a CRT.5 thread over in mini truggies section.

So this is what I have so far. I bought a 8ight pro roller with a Novak Conversion on the bay (novak kit for sale BTW) and a rtr to sell off the nitro stuff and speky dx2 (NIB) to leave the rest for back up parts...also off the bay. Even though I know this is misplaced I also have the CRT.5 going to which is new (other build thread).

The plan was to get the CRT.5 running with my mm5700 on 3s, but after installation last nite I found that I demagged the motor probably by thermal-ling it. So now I am considering the MMM 2200kv on 6s lipo and possibly using the same motor in the .5 for stupid ridiculous fun as long as it wont tear the drive train in two.

My plan of attack as of yet....
RCM conversion or tekno for the 8ight (still have yet to decide...more research)
MMM combo with 2200kv
5s and 6s zippy lipos
spektrum dx3s with telementry

I really want something capable of high speed runs and may get another medusa motor for that purpose. But already on 6s Im at close to 49K RPM sooo i dunno. I need to work on figuring out Brians Calculator for the est. speed.

Anyway This is my 1st BL 1/8 build conversion so if you guys would keep checking back with me and give assitance I would really appreciate it. I want to take my time though just because I love to build them just as much as the running. Plus they are so damn good looking when they are crispy new. The construction and quality/duarability blew me away on these guys. i had
FT T4 on the mm5700 3s and it was insane but broke almost everytime out. This thing makes that truck look like toy-grade. Cant wait..plus I am going to start going to the track for racing fun.

Anyway are some pics to get the thread started, I will take lots along the way. BTW this forum rocks.
