Brushless Losi 8ight 1/8th Buggy Conversion

[MrLarzzon13]

nice 5/5 top speed?

[tiger200350]

Your back end was all over the place. I am glad you got that fixed!

[calladuty4]

whats the diff between brushed and brushless?

[CrazySnake5000]

uh the whole way they work is diff basically in the same car a brushed motor will get about 30-35mph brushles could easily get 60+mph

[nico65577]

cool

[nico65577]

lol xD

[jonizmyname]

cant tell if the driver is lacking skill or the buggy is setup terribly

[JeffEmbracedDC]

Buggy was set up TERRIBLY. After it was pulled off of the track the rear shocks were empty. something had happened during the previous race. Ha.

[jonizmyname]

Yeah, watching it again it looks like it was pointed in the right direction but didnt want to go.

[JeffEmbracedDC]

Yeah you can see the rear end just going crazy. Really twitchy in the bumpy sections.

[MrTruk]

Hey, Howcome you chose to run a seperate bec..does it save on heat or running time alot? I have never had issues with the inbuilt bec.

[rcdandennis]

thanks m8

[rcdandennis]

wow great cars and awsom vid

could u tell me 2 things what cell lipo is that and what make motor is that

[JeffEmbracedDC]

Zippy 4S1P 5000MAh battery, Neu 1512/2d/f (2650kv) motor

[JeffEmbracedDC]

Oops.. Actually at the time a Feigao 540C 8XL was being used. Since, a neu motor and mamba monster ESC has been installed.

LOL @ 0.43-0.52, Nice Video, and Nice Track

[motoSX125]

man that thing is QUICK! you put a 25v cap on it? where and why? what kind of temps were you seeing and how are the batteries?

[aqwut]

Nice race track dude...

[fgsgds]

Awesome!

How do the Zippy-H lipos perform for you? I want to buy exactly the pack you got for my Truck but I'm a bit hesitant because I dunno if they are any good.

I already wasted 50EUR on two lipos which's tabs started to pop off due to overheating so I'm very careful now...

[rcpro7]

0:45-0:50 was FUNNY!!!

[seanster17]

Awesome. Are there any videos of it in action?

[JeffEmbracedDC]

There is - though my firewire drivers aren't working and I haven't been able to capture it. I'm going to be gone for about 2 months so there won't be any more coming for a while.

[seanster17]

can you tell me the link so that I can watch it if there are any?

[seanster17]

if so, then the suspension should be tuned, or get a different tire tread.

[rcpro7]

thats not even close to full-throtle down the straight hu?

[JeffEmbracedDC]

Well it's full throttle.. but it doesn't have time to accelerate to full speed due to the inherent low traction of dirt. It's still accelerating at the point where you have to hit the brake to make the hairpin.

[seanster17]

if so then the suspension should be tuned or the tire tred changed to fit the quality of the dirt.

[JeffEmbracedDC]

Right. A complete setup overhaul has been made since that video has been shot. It's a world of difference. Pretty fantastic now.

[seanster17]

are there any videos of it in action?

[seanster17]

the brushless looks harder to control

[JeffEmbracedDC]

Actually it was just set up really badly. It's very nimble feeling and easy to control when set up correctly. The lower center of gravity and narrower weight distribution actually makes it handle better than a nitro.
