Best FE Setup for 1/8th Scale

[michael winter]

I just received notice that Scorpion is discontinuing the 4035/800. I was in the process of ordering a second one for another build. Was told they can supply me with a 4035/800 with a 6mm shaft, and add about $35.00 to install a 8mm shaft. MHZ in Germany has 4035/8mm shaft with built in cooling, but they are a 1260kv.

what's the problem?

a driveline with 1/4'' diameter have only 6,3 mm, so why would you spend the extra money for a 8mm shaft?

How would such 1/8 FE setups be propped? Assuming the above motors, 8-10S, etc? Would it be similiar to nitro in the 455, 457/3 sort of range?

55 mm range?Yes;some have even had sucess with 646 3 blades On my circus ill be spinning a 457,457/3 on 12 s @ 650kv on 8 s ill probably be looking at a 460 or better maybe even a gas prop.

Thanks Hugh, guess I'll just try out some of the props from my nitros to start. Great!

Long can motors like the Nue need the 8mm shaft. Short can motors like the Scorpion may not.

Why Jim? have you seen folks snap the 5mm shaft versions? Curious coz im considering purchasing a 1527 1.5y but it has the 5mm shaft.

Jim is right, you want the 8mm shaft. It's not a matter of snapping but rather bending the 5mm ones.

UM thanks alot, My screamer has a 8mm shaft but the Neu I was eyeing does not they are out of stock on the 8mm versions. what do the plettis cost now a days. like a kima 50 or 370bm?

Hear is a great price for a motor that will work. Not sure if it is as fast as the Neu but time will tell if it is as good as the Leopard

Randy the tp's do a good job too but what we want is a 2230 like you got.LOL! will we ever get to see that Elam really run?

I got a ls motor still new here in nc .I might be persuaded out of it. Marks shown wat the motor can do.
