I'm using a modded Castle Creations Mamba Monster Max esc with Tekno Rc Neu 1515 2200Kv motor on 5S 5000mah 20C lipo. Should be good for 40mph & target 30min. runtime.

PS : had a brief run today. Too powerful. This sort of power corrupts..

Thanks.

As expected.

I don't see any Fan. i assume the motor and esc are running cold

There is a fan in integrated into the esc. It's in the esc case so not too obvious. I did manage to kill the motor in its first outing though. Not supposed to happen. Guess it's a manufacturing defect. I have a smaller one in my buggy conversion & I thrash the hell out of it & still it's going strong.

Just got my paws on a 1/8 buggy recently... possibly for a conversion
I bought my buggy 1st and while idling around, I got an engine for it.

I'm eager to know what run time you're getting with your setup.

What motor spec is preferred for a truggy and buggy?

Is your excessive power due to the 5s?
Would it have been more manageable with 4s?

I am using a modded Castle Creation Mamba Monster Max, 4S 6000mah 25C Polyquest Lipo & a Neu 1512 2600KV motor

Gearing is same like nitro 13/48

Thanks man.
Will look closely into the cost of heading down this path.
Do keep me posted on your runtime when you can

Ok I've had a couple of runs over the last few weeks & I must say I really like this truggy. Runtime could be longer though but 15minutes is still not too bad.



On a separate topics, I just had my first race amongst the nitro boys using my electric buggy. I qualified 6 out of 13 using my electric conversion while my nitro buggy qualified only 10th. Becuase of run time issues, I swapped the electric vs nitro & ran electric in the B main (7th qualifier to 13th) & managed a second placing, about 18 seconds off the pace of the winner (half lap). In the A, I managed a fourth placing using my nitro - fun weekend.

this guy is fast !
