production DEX408 running at worksop
 

Seen today is the full production DEX408 and I have pictures to post :thumbsup:

As in 1/8th electric buggy...........:confused:

Let's see the pics then. Who was driving it, and how did it go?

Captainlip will be jealous! :p

Without photos the topic is as interest as every cp thread.......

Yeah an electric 8th scale. Looks good

You may be more insterested to know who broke it! :D

Still on way home and at hozzy tomoz for an op, if I get time tonight ill post pics . Does look very nice, had Tekin and 4 x saddle packs

Mark you have me on pins! :thumbsup:

sounds like I made a good choice to buy so many lipos :woot:

saddle packs?

yes I bet it looked a bit messy in there! can take sticks or saddles, ive bought sticks

Install is actually neater than sticks.
A lot less messy than the inside of your diff cases.
:D

:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I like what youve done with those pictures :thumbsup:

Was that one taken after Mr C had a play?

that is nice when is the expected release date.

yes :D clever camera angles :thumbsup:

pmsl what broke?

Going with saddles looks to be the best way to keep wiring short.

is the spur metal or plastic?

lol well you can send em all here and not post the pictures anywhere now :p

i supose the best answer i can give is, you had to be there! :p

I just hope with all these photos popping up were not far away from owning one.

after seeing the production layout I had to go and solder my saddle link wire up :D

well worth you buying 4 x top stick packs then? and you wonder why you attract attention:woot:

defo glad I bought the sitcks I meant saddle wire between the two stick packs

oh a link wire then!!

Look nice :).

Do you think it will do a 20/30 min final on one set of cell's, if not it doesn't look like a quick battery change :cry:

yeah my bad, mind went blank for a mo.

as other elec rally x cars can make 20 mins i see no reason why this would not. though im sure the elec class will come up with suitable rules for final times

totally agree, the more 8th EP coming out the sooner the we see heats and events being held.

I took the safe bet and just got 6500mah lipos but im sure normal 5000ish should do 15mins.

Dont forget your running 4 cell and not 2 cell, so in my case id have 13000mah to dispose of and a typical 5000mah lipo would obviously have 10000mah

I think ur wrong there. U will have 4s with 6500 mah capacity.

depens how he wires them up doesnt it , he could have 4s at 6500mah or 2s at 13000mah

4s would be the way i would wire it up

2s won't power that T8 motor, so its gotta be 4s.

I'm wondering if this car is light enough (I bet is not much heavier than a Losi SCTE) to put a Pro-4 4600kv motor in it, if so, you could run 2s wired in parallel for huge runtime. That would be pretty cool..

It looks nice alright, but apart from electronics instead of a cylinder head poking through the body, what's different on this car? Different chassis plate, sidepods, spur and slipper, other chassis parts as well perhaps? I'd love to see a list of things that are developed/changed specifically for the DEX408 :p

It's stock front and rear ends, no slipper.
