martin34 Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 With that motor you might have to trim a bit off of the top deck to make it fit properly,it does make a big difference over stock motor but limited to size of pinion that you can use. Si I have read that with a 19th pinion and 58th spur and the mini revo motor and a 2s battery its as fast as the stock motor on 3s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silone74 Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 It will make a big difference in performance over the stock motor,it is a shame Losi didnt make the m8 with a bigger can motor to start with or at least the capacity to fit one with out and issuse.

Sheilstar12 Posted July 21, 2013 Author Share Posted July 21, 2013 Hey I was wondering where you guys keep the aerial, because I have only see poeple tie the aerial towards the rear wing mount. Where do u guys have ur aeiral (I have the new receiver which is from a dx4s or dx4 and its longer then the other receives) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silone74 Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 (edited) I did get longer screws because I have the 3mm carbon tower the original screws where just too short, I put a small washer at the back to stop the head of the screw going through the protector and thats it they fit great. I have my aerial laying along the edge of the side guard going towards the front end. Si Edited July 21, 2013 by silone74 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon-hpi-rush Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 I got my aerial coming out the body shell, to get better signal when the car is further away. When I had it inside the car I was limited to how far I could drive it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon-hpi-rush Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 The hole on top of the receiver I made bigger to fit an aerial tube in to hold it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silone74 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Has any one thought of using the Carisma motors in there m8 , they are i am sure almost identical but the Carisma has 3 versions the 4500kv,5700kv and a 6800kv,it would be interesting to see the performance of of the 5700 and 6800.

jake1*2011 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 The dynamite fuze motors are rebadged carisma motors which are also rebadged losi motors! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silone74 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 I knew the Carisma motors where the same,I don't know why Losi don't have the same range of motors for the m8 too instead of the one stock motor it would at least offer the choice and give Losi a chance to make more money lol.

SchrodeMode Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Is anyone using the Mamba Micro Pro systems? If so what KV? I just ordered the 5300kv setup, hopefully it works out well for bashing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silone74 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I have seen on another forum a guy using the 0808 motor but I think he uses a different esc as the micro pro had heat issuse if i remember correctly,I know now the 20mm can motors from castle are 4 pole they cope with the size of the m8 better than there older 2 pole motors that burnt out very quickly,in my opinion they seem to be expensive to get similar or slightly better performance over a stock set up,having now got myself an emb-1 the motor in that I can say would be perfect in a mini 8.

Sheilstar12 Posted August 25, 2013 Author Share Posted August 25, 2013 Hi guys been a interesting day and need your help. I was driving my m8 on 3s with the turnigy ESC (35a) and i accidentally drove my m8 to an extent that my lipo went down all the way to 2%. Got every worried and lucky at the same time as I revived it, when the car packed in it wasn't giveing me any throttle just a cogging sound. There was a bad smell coming from the motor and ESC but mostly on the motor. After I waited 1 hours for the car to cool down and then fired it up again with another 3s pack and there was nothing but a wyning sound coming from the motor and some how I had to reverse the throttle for it to go forward but the smell came again and then my ESC and my motor became very hot, keep in mind the cars only be switched on for around 7seconds. What's gone wrong, help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MolecularMark Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Hi I am new to the Losi M8 and have been reading this great forum...I know it was ages ago this question came up (but I only just read it)...someone was asking about aluminium gear box covers....found these (and aluminium everything else in a range of colours!) at:http://www.asiatees.com/model?Team%20Losi-Mini%208IGHT-Parts-Hop-Ups&brand=Team%20Losi&model=Mini%208IGHTLook the part...not sure if they're any good...pretty pricey but then some peeps seem to have spent loadsamoney on their m8...No-one else has mentioned them in this forum...anyone heard anything about them?Hmmmm....shiny!MarkSent using Tapatalk HD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
