losi mini 8ight slow?

[TARTMAN]

Just bought a new rtr losi mini 8ight, kit nimh battery and as kit.
OK, only slow chaged the nimh for an hour and half to test the car, all working OK. BUT
It seems slow. I know i am used to race speed 10th off rd, but seen these round a track and there damn quick. this is not.

Is it the nimh? the lack of a full charge? or something else you think people/ooplers?

Or do i need a fast motor etc? thought the kit ones were pretty quick from the box?

Not got the right plug so have not fast chaged the nimh, have ordered a couple lipos that should fit but in the meen time? Help>>???

Kit motors are quick enough,but amp\volt hungry, put a fully charged lipo in then youl
really notice the difference
go up to a 17 or 18 pinion will help aswell(16 std) look for .5 module pinions on 2mm shaft

Hi Darren I meet you at the new Reading Club on Saturday. Steve and I are running standard RTR buggies with std 16T pinion but running 2200 mah 25c 2s lipos have fun. Regards Ashley

as the others have said, stick a lipo in it and you will really notice the difference

I thought that might be the case.

Many thanks guys, as always, OOPLE people to the rescue!

Lipos on the way.

Can i ask where you guys got your lipos and cost? as thee so small a space to fit and no room for anything even a few mm bigger.....

I get mine from Overlander.co.uk.

The Sport 1300, or 1600 mAh ones are more than enough, and easily last 5 mins.

Hope this helps.
