View Full Version : Probably a stupid question

Would it be possible to run an H8 with much higher capacity batteries, say the ones used in 1/10th scale, with a more powerful bigger ESC and the most powerful motor that can fit in the H8 (whatever it might be). Would this make any sense whatsoever or would the engine simply get too hot or something. Has anyone tried something of the sort with any success?

Anything is possible just not practical. Go lipo and you will forget about that question.

The Hyperion already has heat problems running off 8 cells. Would it be a lot worse if I used lipos?? Are there any motors that can be geared high without burning up? How is the wraith for this?

Hi.

I use the Wraith and a Quark 65A Roadster with Flightpower 20C 2150mAh for my h8.

It kills my diffs all the time :(

So now i use 3Racing diffs and i asked a foundry for casting the gear. I will know more in about a week :)

Best regards

Throw in the 09's longer chassis, ST conversion and ... TADAA!
Wonder on wheels

Then again my 10 year old Ultimas would fly with Li-Poly and brushless too, without any (further) mods
