Losi 2.0 Conversion

Hey Chris · #1 03-03-2010

Hey,

I just bought a Losi 2.0 Buggy and intend to convert it.

Am thinking a
Neu 1512 2.5d/f Sensorless Brushless Motor

with
Castle Creations Mamba Monster controller V3

Going to run 4s Lipos. Not sure which yet. Australians rule require Hard case roar approved.

Was planning to buy the Losi conversion kit.

Is there anything I am missing?

Or Should I not buy any of these?

Cheers

Pics of mine are on here, personally after quite a bit of head scratching & lots of helpful advice i went for... a neu castle 1512 1.5y 1800kv motor, mamba monster v3 speedo,zippy flightmax 5 cell 30c 5000 mah lipo, when i bought my motor & speedo from rc monster they were not available as a combo as the motor is relitively new so that ups the price a little
i used the Losi conversion kit, the battery tray seems a little high to me but it doesnt seem to effect the handling & on the losi tray there is a step to mount your speedo.
im pleased as punch with mine

...do a little search on here there is loads of really useful advice

Cheers for that.

Problem is here is Australia at the moment we are limited to 4s lipo for some reason.

no worries. i see you have posted on 'rc tech'. i did the same but all the replies & reading i did on there...it fried my brain!
let us know what set up you go for

I will be going exact same as yours just got to decide on motor. It's between 1800 & 2200. Unless there is one in between.

Except battery. Not to sure on what 4s to get.

Have done so much reading and changed my mind so many times but I think with Castle I will be safe.
