Got Power? 8S Conversion with Castle 1520 Motor 

It's about the size of a mini z 4runner lol

@@brysonkuhn3290 its ok. I plan on running the smaller hole pistons and 2w oil.

@@bboss8048 yup that plan sounds bulletproof. Go for it!

@@bboss8048 Nice dude, give us a video of the fastest kyosho 4runner when the conversion is done 😂😂

That will be interesting to see

Bret is uncle Ben.

Your going to break your car if you don't use the power responsibly

@@gagefrizzi8838 True

3s-8s

@@Shaun-hp2yz ESC 2s-8s, 3s-8s for the motor:)

@@KaniZRC ohhhh

Did the MM X8S fit without any major modifications? How difficult was it to install it or what did you do to install it?

@@kevinmccubbin3596Motor fits directly without any modification on my Infraction v1.

@Bhuvan Suri i dont care

No, the EZ Peak Plus (TRA2970) is 3S max. You'll need one of the Live chargers to have 4S charging capabilities; here is the single-channel version: www.amainhobbies.com/traxxas-ezpeak-live-multichemistry-battery-charger-w-auto-id-4s-12a-100w-tra2971/p578883 -Brett

We all have a brain

Makes seance

You did say it

We don't have a Typhon like we mentioned in the video. But the 1520 should fit your buggy. -Brett

You put IBeams on the Infraction!!!? How did the tires look after? -Brett

@@AMain_Hobbies I was running them in the snow. The grip was awesome and no tire wear. Previously I put Typhon tires on the Infraction. They are slightly shorter than Proline Badlands (also from Amain). The Badlands are too tall. In the field around the corner the Typhon hit 50 mph before I needed to hit the brakes. The Infraction hit 54!!! At 30mph nailing it would send grass and dirt flying! Keep the videos coming! Great job 👏 👍

@@loum7008 Sounds like a blast! Can't believe those iBeams didn't wear, even in snow. Thanks for the info Louis! -Brett

@@AMain_Hobbies so I just took them off and put the streets back on. One 6s session, 1 4s session and 4 3s sessions later and they are in excellent shape! 3s is plenty of wheel speed for snow. I also don't have much room for ballooning as I noticed when I was drying out the tires on the bench. Thanks for the videos!!! -Lou

BTW, by excellent shape I mean they all look excellent. I did label what tire came off what corner but they all looked exactly the same. As you know all the Infraction tires cook the rears first. Too fun!!!

Yes and yes. -Brett

No, the ESC features a BEC which regulates the voltage that is delivered to the receiver, and then the servo. This way, your receiver and servo do not receive more voltage than required. -Brett

@@AMain_Hobbies thank you very much 👍👍😊😊

They are thermally controlled fans, so it may shut off if not needed. -Brett

Yes. -Brett

HA! The Fazer Mk2 chassis? Even if the motor did fit, it would blow that little car up. If you try it, film it and send it to us! Otherwise, not recommended! -Brett

I feel your pain Stephen. Unfortunately we're only able to get both of those tires as pre-mounts. -Brett

@@AMain_Hobbies And here I thought switching to electric would reduce my consumables.. joke's on me :D

It's probably under kv'ed for big tracks and long straightaways, but you could probably get away with smaller and tighter tracks. If you're serious about racing, you'd be best served by a competition oriented system. If you're just looking to have a good time, bash around and occasionally race, this is a good system. Also, if you don't need the smaller 1520 motor can size, check out the slightly larger and more powerful 1717 motor can; it's also available in the same ESC combo: www.amainhobbies.com/castle-creations-mamba-monster-x-8s-1-6-esc-motor-combo-w-1717-sensored-motor-cse010-0165-02/p-qqqeqqyq6zzeqctz Regarding racing; what I said about the other system applies to this one as well. Hope that helps. -Brett

It is but they are geared way down

The motor won't fit the way the E-Revo 2.0 is now and would hit the rear shock mount. If you can raise the motor up to clear the mount, then you might be in business. -Brett

@@AMain_Hobbies alright. I’ll either talk to my local hobbyshop or ask around and see if anyone knows if it’ll fit or not

No. We gave the car to the guys at our local retail AMain hobby shop to play with and show off to customers. Not sure what state the vehicle is in right now. -Brett

No. -Brett

@@AMain_Hobbies ok thanks🙂

We are unfamiliar with any "best" way to do it, instead, you have many options available to you. Different kV motors provide different power for different applications. Some people just want a car to run while other people are looking to create high speed machines - each of which would probably use a different kV motor. -Brett

@@AMain_Hobbies im not sure what i want i want to go fast but i also want to be able to Bash/Drift just by changing the Pinion i never had anything as Bad Ass as you Guys Bulid but i love to have something that is crazy modified like you Guys have i have like 20 different Rc Buggys and Truggys but nothing that is crazy modification but now im looking to have some that are modified i just bought the Arrma Kraton 8s and The Typhon 6s and the Infraction plus i have Losi,Mugens,Kyosho, Tekno,Traxxas,Hot Bodies, Team Associated and i forget all of the others LOL

@@coreylerille6819 Haha awesome. I understand wanting to make an 8S machine. You have a lot of options to you and Castle or Hobbywing will serve you well. For the efficiency of your electronics, I would recommend a low kv motor with 8S power, and gear up when you want high rpm speed runs. A higher kv motor will generate higher rpm overall, but at a cost for efficiency. If this isn't a dedicated speed run car, shoot for efficiency with low heat, long runtimes and long life. Hope this makes sense man! -Brett

Sure. The ESC used is compatible between 2S thru 8S, and the motor is good from 3S to 8S. -Brett

The size of the can helps determine how big of a rotor can fit, and how many magnets. The more magnets in there, and the more powerful they are, the more torque the motor should provide. And you'll know it's a very torque motor when you turn the output shaft with your fingers (with the motor unplugged, removed from the vehicle, and pinion gear removed). For the UDR, a longer can motor like this will hang out the back of the truck and probably get scratched up a lot. Might work with no issues, or it could be an issue. Suppose it depends on your terrain and how hard you drive. Hope this has helped Jeff. -Brett

Yes sir -Brett

You just need to ensure the ESC and motor are 3S compatible. -Brett

Thank you👍👍😊😊

It could damage the sensor board inside the motor (or completely burn it up). -Brett

@@AMain_Hobbies thanks just wondering love the video 👍

@@traxxasfan3674 Thanks! -Brett

You can use whatever method you want. PC programming is the most robust of course, but that's not always needed, like when you just need to reverse the motor direction. -Brett

Ok thanks I always thought you had to program it from the laptop I didn't know you could do it manually thats y I didn't ever go castle I always do hobbywing cause its easier to program

Shoot, can't remember off the top of my head. Whatever we said in the video, that's what we used. -Brett

No. RPM makes a cage for that ESC but it's for the X-Maxx. You can make your own cage like we did in our Maxx 6S video. -Brett

@@AMain_Hobbies ok thanks for the info

Negative. -Brett

Hmm... -Brett

YES

No, not how I would want it set up anyway, I prefer onroad rcs

@@racenowRCs true but just imagine it it would be so cool to have a car it goes that fast off road

Hello Gioberga. It is not possible for me to know the exact shipping charges, but I can help you find it. The best method to see exact shipping, is to add the items you want to your cart, and start the checkout process. You do not need to checkout, but the first step to checkout is the shipping page. This shipping page will show you all available shipping carriers, the shipping services offered, estimated delivery dates, and total cost. I hope this helps Gioberga. -Brett

@@AMain_Hobbies ok thank you for your help. I will inform you if I buy something

Yeah it does. -Brett

I'm not sure what you're referring to. The 1717 is bigger and a little more powerful than the 1520. -Brett

I saw that the 1520 had a higher rpm rating with the same kv. Thought maybe it would be faster.

Because the ESC provides more power to forward direction than reverse. If you switch direction in the transmitter, your reverse will now have more power than going forward. -Brett
