My brushless HPI Nitro MT Project

[GeeReg]

Well my first real brushless project has begun with me winning a used HPI MT roller with radio for $60. :eek: My only BL experience is with an RC10T2 with a Novak SS5800. I liked the power but needed more and needed it to be 4WD. I was thinking a 1/8 buggy, but figured a 1/10 would be cheaper and easier. I saw Camel's MT18SS and liked it, but didn't want to spend that much, so I picked up this MT.

I'm thinking a Feigao 380c 6L or 8S (8T here at RCM?) with a Warrior 9920 and 8 cells. My max is 8 cells due to my charger limit, and I'd rather not split it into 2 packs as this makes charging very long. Which is the better choice, the 6L or 8S? What size pinion should I look at? Any other recommendations for a controller? This will be strictly for bashing.

I'll update this as it progresses...wish me luck! :dft003:
