my names alan hall.. i ran a decent bit a while back at watson mostly with a yellow and purple rc8t.

well im looking to jump back into things and looking for some brushless help, when i raced before i was totally new to nitro and off road. well im clueless for brushless and lipo stuff to. a good friend has a monster rc converted rc8t FT in nice shape,fresh set of city blocks, mamba monster esc , two lipos
the 1st is a 5s battery , Hyperion 4350mAh 25C ,and a 4s NeuEnergy 5000mAh 30C . now i really dont know anything about these number besides the 5s is more voltage right?

i would need a radio,servo,and a charger and motor.

what size/rating motor is a good idea? whats the normal battery size most of you are using ? are the batteries hes got raceable or to big or what? lol

i can pick this up for 350, which i think is a good deal
thanks alot for any help

Hey Alan, I'm running a Losi 1/8 Truggy with a Tekin RX8 2250, 4S 6500 60c mahMax Amps. I'm not a 100% sure but I think Robert Auclair AKA (Half-Off) is running a RC8T with a Tekin RX8 2000 4S 5400-5600 mah Pro-tech & Reedy packs. The gearing is different between the two. In my experience in the past year and a half, is to pay the extra money for a great hard-case Max Amp battery & Hyperion dual charger. Your racing 8-10 minute runs you will never need more then 5400-6500 mah, if your geared right. The 4s 5000 is cutting it close for a 10 minute main, not to sure about the 5s battery. The majority of us are running 4S 5400-6500 mah. I hope this info helps you. Mamba Monster is a good esc also.
