Ok Ive been debating if I should do this project for a long time and I think Ive finally made my decision which is "yes I should do it". My goal= 65mph. If all goes to plan this should be done by next week sometime.

Setup
ESC- Mamba Max
Motor- Feigao 8xl
Batteries- 12cells IB4200's

Heres are some pics of the crazy setup. Hint "its like nothing you've ever seen"

Wow, that should be sweet! Keep us posted on this one! How are you going to mount the batts? Velcro? Zip ties?

Motor sticks out quite a bit though.. Could get dinged up by debris [&:]

I plan on using velcro and if that doesnt hold then superglue. No Im jk... Ill end up using zipties.

Ya i plan on making a motor protector. I really hope this thing doesnt wheelie because 60mph + wheelie= disaster.

Seeing as to how aerodynamics are crucial to high speed stability, what body do you plan on using with that?

IDK yet... Maybe the TC body I have right now which is the protoform dodge stratus carpet edition which is a vey nice and sturdy body and it drops right onto the chassis.

WOW. good luck with this. I really think that it will wheelie like crazy because you have a fiegao 8xl and also the fact of how small your tires are.

You going to use a reciever pack and take out the red wire because of the twelve cells?

x2o

He has to if he likes that reciever at all..

I think you should fit it with a kinda of custom wheelie bar thats really low to the floor to try to keep it on all 4's off the line. Similar to how they do in drag racing if you know what i mean.

something like :


That's for a real car, but you get the idea.

That thing looks really different!!! With the small wheels and stuff. Your sure gonna have acceleration like a bat outa' hell!!

doesn't a fieago 8xl seem kind of low on the rpms? thats only like a 30,000rpm motor on twelve cells. i don't think you could get tall enough gears

brushlessboy16

run the vxl motor on 12 cells... hehehe
what happend to the thing project?

Takedown

My Feedback: (23)

Nope the MM ESC can handle 12cells with a bec w/o any problems.

Im still thinking about it... The thing project is done and overwith.

brushlessboy16

u never even finished. no u have a tc with a widearm conversion. trying to do speed runs.... not very aerodynamic

Takedown

My Feedback: (23)

What do you mean I never finished? I certainly did... Anyways I think Im probably going to use the velineon motor for even higher top end but Ill have to watch the motor temp.

brushlessboy16

you never got wheels, tires abody, a wing. the stuff that u said u were gonna do.

My Feedback: (23)

Just forget it the main purpose of the thread was to prove I could convert it and do such a thing and that mission was accomplished.

looks sick takedown, good work. keep up posted on the speeds.

Thanks cheech! Ya it might take me awhile to drill another 3mm pinion into a 5mm pinion.

skidooguymxz550

has it run yet? i really think this motor is to low of rpms for this project. fieago xl's are for truggys and medium size boats

Im probably going to run the velineon.
