I have not decided on what motor I will use yet. But I will be using an MTroniks ESC -

I am converting my Hyper 7 to be an all electric brushless setup. This month I start a machining class and should also be starting a CAD class as well for the winter semester at Harrogate College. My class project will be converting my Hyper 7 to be all electric. If my 9.5 does not sell, I will convert it as well.

A lot of the work and figuring out, you are on your own. But here is a video of an all electric 1/8 converted buggy. I will only leave it up for a week or two and then take it off line because it takes up to much room on my server. So download it soon - I might not post it up again later. When ever this kind of stuff is on my site, it uses all my monthly bandwidth people downloading them over and over again.

The cheap basic series lehner motors have loads of torque and can be used in 1/8 scale application with no worries. A lot of people on RCU will tell you that they will not hold up. The video here is this link is using a basic series Lehner motor

Remember this was not my buggy. Nor was I there. I got it from a friend who has done many of these conversions himself. I decided I will convert mine to electric and race it in the 1/8 scale nitro class. [X(][>:] Gotta love it.

The cool part is it rains here all the time. I have an MTroniks ESC which they will be making them water proof soon. Well I also have an MTroniks water proof receiver. So once I get my water proof version of the ESC. I can play ALL DAY LONG in the rain or sun. Winter time it rains here constantly.

You can do the same setup with brushed motors. I just choose to never go back to brushed motors. They are to much work.

Hope that was helpful.
