Status: offline 		Hi guys, I'd like some advice please on a conversion that I'm planning; I intend to convert my Manic from its twin .36 to a brushless system. I've just done a brushless conversion on a nitro Kyosho Blizzard with a 540 3030KV brushless motor, 60 amp ESC and 5000mAH 2S Lipo. I'm assuming that a conversion for an 1/8 scale truck is going to require something a bit bigger than a 1/12 light crawler, so I'm after advice on what motor (size and turn) I should get, preferably as a motor/ESC combo.

I'm also having difficulty trying to find compatible pinions to go with the existing spur; as standard it's a 63 tooth 24dp spur on a 5mm layshaft. I was open to the idea of getting a different spur if needed to 48dp to give me more ratio options, but having taken it off the layshaft it appears that the layshaft pin AND brake hub sit inside it, and I'm not sure if the pin recess on a standard aftermarket spur would be deep enough to accommodate both. I could ditch the braking system if needs to be rely on motor braking, but I'd rather keep it because of the front/rear adjustability and obviously to extend the run times because the brake servos run off the receiver battery and not the LiPo, so if anyone knows of manufacturers that make 24dp spurs for motors, that would be a great help.

My last question is about running 3S LiPo's or higher through an ESC; I've been told that you can't usually use the standard cooling fan with anything higher than 2S. Is this true and if so, what do you do for cooling; are there higher voltage fans that you can fit?

Sorry for all the questions but I'm still a relative brushless newbie; my last conversion was made a hell of a lot easier because the Blizzard came in nitro and brushed form; I just got the parts for the brushed motor version like the chassis and transmission, and then specced my own motor & ESC.

Thanks for any help you can give me.
