RE: Official Electric Conversion Thread
Hi,
I want to convert my Kyosho 1/8 buggy to brushless for indoor racing on a small track (75ft straight). What is a good motor, batt, and speed control setup?
My buds want to go with the Novak conversion kit. Are these kits any good, or should I go with something else?
Thanks!

For the price of converting a 1/5 thats why their is almost no such thing. Extremely rare to see a converted 1/5 its so pricey.

I want to convert my XXX-NT to brushless. Anybody done this before?? Since I don't know nothing I need motor/esc recommendations. Is the Traxxas VXL system a good start?? How about a motor mount?? Thanks for the help

REALLY?!?!?!?!
Check page 38.
And next time use the search button. Either google or here.
And motor/esc?
All of course depends on your budget.
You might want some batteries, too.

I'll stick some pics tomorrow. One is a chain drive from a larger scooter, one is a chain drive from a average sized blue schwinn, and one is a smallerotor from a small razor scooter that is belt drive. It's In pieces right now, so I'll take some picures of all the pieces. I could still put it back together I guess...

RE: Official Electric Conversion Thread
What kind of 1/10 4wd ST is this?
An HPI RS4-MT?
That combo should be good, but might not have as much power as you are looking for.
What's the capacity of your lipo?

i have already read that for this kind of conversion shoulde be better a motor wiyh 5mm´s shaft isntead of the 3.17 of vxl motor, because the 4 wheel drive. is that correct?
i was thinking on the hpi mt2 for conversion!

RE: Official Electric Conversion Thread
If you do decide to convert an MT2, you will have to make your own motor mount.
However, you might want to convert a CRT .5
