Pedro Costa Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Hi! I'm new to this so I need some help before buying the wrong stuff. 1) From what I read the Hyper SS mount should fit the 8.5 but I don't know if all motors fit. Would a 4270 work? like this one: https://hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy-trackstar-1-8th-sensored-brushless-motor-1900kv.html 2) I'm thinking of buying the xerun xr8 esc and LOSA4461 battery tray. Will I need any more modifications to fit everything? 3) I'll be using 4S battery so with a 1900kv what would be a good pinion gear? 4) Would common M2 and M3 screws be enought? Sorry if it is too much but better to be safe! Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if it is too much but better to be safe! Many thanks I would get a hobbyking 120a or 150a esc to go with that motor. I have one in my xray amd it works great on 4s with my 2000kv motor. It's got a sensor port as well and they are really cheap. I think a 16-18t pinion will be best on 4s I run 17t on my buggy. For motor mount screws I would get some 10.9 or 12.9 and they will be m3 or m4, not m2, they might even come with the motor mount. I would also use cap head bolts if you can as well as the heads are deeper than button heads and less likely to strip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Costa Posted August 7, 2019 Author Share Posted August 7, 2019 Thanks! I had seen this esc: https://hobbyking.com/pt_pt/hobbykingr-tm-x-car-beast-series-esc-1-8-scale-150a.html?wrh_pdp=7 Problem is they're all out of stock =/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kukynas Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 1: motor is fine, anything around 2000kv on 4S would work, original tray is fine for start 2: I would take Ezrun Max8 3: and 4: as Jumper said above Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But ezrun max8 isn't sensored right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
