ESC is perfect. Motor wise is a little trickier. These have truggy ratio diffs, so like for like with say a typical 1/8 buggy there much slower. To compensate you need a either a high KV motor or one of the option lower tooth count spurs or both. The option spurs we're rocking horse poop as soon as the fire sale of the chassis started so finding one now will be tricky. A managed to snag two for sensible cost from an obscure LHS in France - the 43 and 44t from mem. That leaves motor - my suggestion for 4S on a budget would be the knock off castle 2650kv - I 'think' it fits though check - the RB won't take a truggy length can, else the 2650kv generic black can is an alternative. If you search this thread I think I posted some gearing / motor options somewhere. The knock off castle will run 6s too.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had 5 or 6 now I think, in various buggies. Can't fault them - it's totally wrong they can get away with using the castle name and branding mind - and I can't quite work out why castle don't anything about it.

GazCle Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Finished this last year but forgot to post on here. Drives great cheapo 2650kv gives 41mph on stock gearing 19t pinion HW BL150 esc and that servo has been swapped for a JX Servo PDI-HV5932MG Coreless 30kg servo which is 25.2kg 0.12 sec/60° @6v BEC output. Has anyone found out which other Steel spur's fit the Center diff? HB D812 has been mentioned as sharing some design with this buggy, my plastic spur is fine no problems so far but only running 4s on the 2650kv motor . PS this thread has been very useful cheers all for the info ``o=o¬ RCYAL8R Servo link https://www.banggood.com/JX-Servo-PDI-HV5932MG-30KG-Large-Torque-180-High-Voltage-Digital-Servo-p-1074872.html?p=JW2206639952201406ZT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apperley73 Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Will this buggy take a 1490kv motor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would probably be better with a higher KV, unless you were going to run 6s? Also depends on the length of the motor. Only issue is mate these are pretty much obsolete now?

capri-boy Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Gearing on these stock then ~1500kv will be sedate even on 6s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apperley73 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 It's sold now... So what can I put a 1400kv motor in then? Its come out my Berserker looking at a roller you see? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not many 1/8th rcs are internally geared to suit such a low KV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apperley73 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Cheers dude for that info will sell and buy higher kv to suit. Am just so use to 1/10th buggy motors not kv 1/8th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or any 1/8 with a smaller spur - you don't even need custom work - there's a 34t IIRC one for the vorza style centre diff. Or most simple sell it and get a more suitable motor.
