what setup can i get for 150$ THAT will let me go faster than any of the mt and most of the sedans at my clubs favorite spot (a parking lot with home made jumps) i want a lot of speed and performance i also need a battery (all for the min-t)

and pair that with a 3 cell li-po.

For absolutely ridiculous performance, get the Quark ESC and the Dynamite C4 9200kv. It will be pretty much uncontrollable, but it will be bloody quick.

what Bt said and get a 4 or 5 cell lipo dont know how to mount it but the quark can handle it

-Inverted-

The reason I didn't reccomend that setup is because it would be going over his budget.

Mitchell91

Yes, and only any good in a straight line with 5cell lipo i think the drivetrain would explode!

RiseAgainst017

but he just said faster and 90 for the esc and 60 for the motor is at his limit W/O shipping

-Inverted-

That is WAY out of his limit, he has to get a battery too for the $150.

ya so the 8000 setup is pretty fast. and a 3-5cell lipo where is the cheapest lipo sight? any specifc brand recomendations? i really apreciate all the imput (since im new to using this forum i used to have to ask idiots at my lhs for advice and they would recomend the most expensive product in the store and try sell it to me telling me it is the only solution.) this is much much better thnx

Mitchell91

I would go with hyperion or thunder power and i would suggest bpp to get them from, on [link=http://www.b-p-p.com/products.php?cat=35&PHPSESSID=1213c69ca98b0ac14fe16a94c40b1da7]this[/link] page it tells you which cars he lipos fit. Of course ebay is the cheapest sight to get lipos from

Mr. Mugen

The tranny will not explode if you have alum. gear box. I ran 4 and 5 cell lipo in one of my mini-t's with no explosions. However you need a set of flip down binoculars to drive it..lol. It gets away from you fast! You can hit over 100mph with 5 cell lipo and the 8000 mamba I did[8D]

Mitchell91

i was joking about the drivetrain, wow a mini going 100mph

Mr. Mugen

I have 2 that are set up to do so

Mitchell91

now all youve got to do is get a ferrari to keep up with it

Mr. Mugen

lol

what lipo should i run in my rc18t? and how fast will [link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXJJZ8&P=FR]this [/link] make the mamba 8000 go???

Mitchell91

i dont know how fast it will go on a 6cell but on [link=http://www.b-p-p.com/proddetail.php?prod=h_Hyp1500_3s]this[/link] lipo it will be ballistic i would recommend that lipo, it is a direct drop

BMWnitro

how bout for a mini lst what set up should i go with including motor, esc drivetrain etc? i'm very new to 1/18th scale, i've been only into nitro, help a bratha out, thanks

mkincy

do you have any video of your 100 mph runs? that would be awesome.

Mitchell91

i think keeping it in the viewfinder would be hard

-Inverted-

A 5 cell will be out of your budget, 3 cell will work however. Thunder Power, Hyperion, and Apogee are the top brands.

As for the 100mph setup, I don't think it would be too difficult to beat the current speed record, a 5 cell li-po with a fast motor (C4 9200 or the Lehner Troy carries), shove all that in a carbon fiber m18 and you should be set.

Mitchell91

and put it on rails because steering at 100mph is going to be tough

Doahh

Inverted if it were that easy it would've been done... the thing is with a light chassis like a mini it WILL TAKE OFF and if you have the wrong wing/body it will either give not enough or too much downforce... then theres todays tires... not really up to the task of handeling over 100k RPM's even foams will blow apart... the truth is theres really no way it can get a mini over 90... unless it is all custom, basically dragging on the ground, custom tires, custom body... you get the point

-Inverted-

I know it wouldn't be easy, I didn't really get into details in that post, just a basic idea. There would have to be a bit of fabrication involved. Another thing is a wing with significant downforce would be required. It's by no means a drag and drop situation, I can see where I may have came off like that in my other post. It's certainly possible though, and having access to the required machines would help alot. If I personally was trying to set a record I would go with a larger scale due to the fact there are more options and ways of tuning then what you can reach in this small of scale. As well as the fact there are alot more items to choose from in say a 1/10 scale.

hey mugen get the 9200 motor and a 5 cell lipo[>:]
