Sure I started around a 15t pinion on mine due to the weight, I looked into this set up, but you are at such an advantage to me. The plastics, wheels/tyres and the shell is whats expensive, although I think I overlooked it cause the models I looked at had alot more nerf bars and bracing? I think I over complicated it by trying to conver to a True 5SC Flux as opposed to this simpler 5T/ How are you going to mount the battery trays?

Wirralnitronoob Posted October 1, 2016 Author Share Posted October 1, 2016 just going to either strap them to the frame or i may drill mount holes for the trays,as for the the motor mount ive got to swap the bottom plate off my flux as this one like u say sits too far in for a good mesh,the flux one is slightly wider meaning the motor will sit mor to the side of the car,this will take a minor adjustment to the chassis si i will dremmel that at some point tomoz and hopfully get it in,but so far so good its been suprisingly easy so far so im expecting something somewhere to complicate it its been far too simple up to now Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wirralnitronoob Posted October 1, 2016 Author Share Posted October 1, 2016 i have kept all the nitro gear aswell so if i feel like i can always put that back in but as for the trays there is no mounts on the chassis like the flux Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kpowell911 Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 (edited) Youll want a much lower KV than that mate. Id look around 1700kv on 6s. That 2650kv wont run well at all.

Wirralnitronoob Posted October 2, 2016 Author Share Posted October 2, 2016 too late to store it ive got it running, only put the 120amp esc and 2250kv motor in it just to see how it goes(i will be getting a new combo for this) i weighed the savvy flux on fishing scales and this is showing the exact same weight loaded with the electrics,, i ran it in the street just on 3s and it runs pretty well even on 3s for the size,,ill try get a little running vid up later but for now heres the pics Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its meant for a buggy on 4s I'm using a 1700kv skyrc 4274 can with a 150a esc in the Truggy on 6s and goes well (car weight 5kg loaded) gives me a sensible loaded rpm around 39,000. I run them sensored so if it heats up too much it shuts down. I still think I have a bit too much torque tho lifting front wheels so I may drop down to this size: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SKYRC-TORO-1-8-RC-Model-ARES-X8S-1650-KV-4-Poles-Sensored-Brushless-Motor-IM877-/252053379545?hash=item3aaf8d59d9:g:iZMAAOSwDNdVyaxm I have got the skyrc 1700 and leopard 4082 1600kv motors. I notice a big difference in torque but in terms of heat, gearing, speed, they more or less perform the same. 4082 Leopard always lifts the front which can get annoying. 4074 still lifts but it does go back down. Hoping a 4068 is a bit more planted. You'll melt a 2650kv on 6s unless you're having a rethink on voltage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wirralnitronoob Posted October 2, 2016 Author Share Posted October 2, 2016 heres a little running vid on 3s with 120amp photon esc and hobbywing 2200kv sensor motor runs pretty good to me i think so far i want to get the 150 amp esc and a bigger can before i put much more power thru it,so far so sweet hope you all enjoy Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wirralnitronoob Posted October 2, 2016 Author Share Posted October 2, 2016 yep i agree,,150 esc and a big can will do the job, if she runs good on 6s i may try 8s at a later date but obv upgrade the esc again to take the extra power made up with the way it runs and handles so far, may take it out with the other 1/5ths see how i get on with those Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Diffs will struggle on 8s. 6s + 150a Esc + a 1700-1900ckv motor is awesome on these. Trust me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wirralnitronoob Posted October 2, 2016 Author Share Posted October 2, 2016 ill take your word for it guns,i have a 150a on the way that will be going straight in, im gonna get a motor for it too,i have a turnigy 1900kv one but its too short for my mount by about 3mm :/ ill try make it fit but would like a brand new esc and motor for this really,, i really need to buy the parts back for my savvy flux now too as i feel abit lost with that in parts lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
