    this is an 8cell setup with a speed 400 4.8 "rocket" motor.
    Fast enough for most tracks.

    It's pretty fast !!

    Let me some questions...

    How many time can you drive with a 8 cells pack?

    Are you getting heat problems?

    Can this motor work with the original esc?

    thanks

    Awsome!!! How is this motor compared to the Kyosho X-speed or the standard Speed 400?

    The reason I ask is that the Speed 400 series motor is not to be found anywhere locally here. So I might order these babies online.

    Thanks!

    I have not compared it to anyother motors so far...I have a 4.8 400 graupner at my LHS to try but I am holding off until friday. The motor still gets hot but not as hot as the 400 or xpeed. I am using a heatsink on it too which may help slightly, but I haven't noticed. It will run about 15-20 I suppose but I tend not to let it run until it dies.

    Just checked the motor temp after running on dirt for about 15-20 minutes and it read 162 F. Hot to the touch but not anything to worry about.

    patience and diligence. Take everything apart when you get it and reassemble it taking care to check gear mesh and clearances. The half8 has some sloppy drivetrain pieces so take your time to make sure everything rotates freeley. I have probably spent a pathetic amount of time working with the drivetrain on this car so it doesn't click or "lump" in any spots.
