Yes! I just snagged one while on Facebook! I got a super deal. It is a Kershaw designs unit. http://www.kershawdesigns.com/Products.htm Their website shows the cost but I did not pay that. The great thing is that with my gasser MT I got parts!


Trying to figure out the specs. I know the 910kv motor is for low end but it needs that power there to get the thing moving. It has a 150amp ESC so I am going not too hot on the power side. I am going with a 6s 25c 22.2v Lipo. I expect I'll get 15 or 20 minutes off the run.


Anyone has anything to add I want to hear it.
 
Yeah the 5000mah seem to be the way to go. Or I may just get one 8000mah. I will be doing some experimentation. Thanks for the link to HK.
 
I've had good luck with this companies batteries and the price is usually good. you might want to give them a look. plus they're made in the good old usa!
 
I don't think any of the cells are manufactured in the US. At most, the packs are assembled in the US. They all come from China, as far as I know.
 
It lives!!! Got a new speed controller and a couple new batteries. Tore it down and rebuilt the shock and lubed the diffs. Put a lot of stainless hardware in place. Bolted on the tires and turned it on.

Wow! This thing launches harder than my gas MT!! :eek:

I was running it on the street and it was raining. This will spin the tires all day. Really quick. Just blew me away.

Now I have a great looking truck in electric and one in gas. Lucky me. :D
 
I ran 6200 mah 6s with a 730kv in my baja and got 15-20 minutes. Don't think you'll get that with the mt due to 4wd and the extra weight. Definitely run 2 6s packs in parallel if you want some run time.
 
Right now I am running stock tires. BIG. And one 6s lipo. I am getting 30 minute runs. Of course I am not hammer down all the time so I get longer times. Going to go to a set of Hostile MXT here soon. Should increase run time a bunch.
