I introduce myself I'm from Argentina
my English is not good, I hope to make myself understood
I buy this car, nitro previously had one, to my surprise the electric goes far less, is this be possible?
Everyone on this forum say they run more than the nitro, but not in my case. I use it with the original configuration of crown and pinion with Li-po battery Poliquest 4S 5000mAh.
Looks like a car to play a 5 year old child, well below speeds, but has no final velocity, is this correct?

I will appreciate help, forgiveness for my bad English

Regards

Pablo.

Something must be wrong. I have an 8ight-E 2.0 and it is pretty quick with a 4s 5000mah Turnigy battery. What type of connectors are you using to connect the battery to the ESC? Maybe you have a bad solder joint and it is not allowing for full current flow from the Polyquest 4s 5000mah to the ESC?

I definitely would not let my 7 year old son play with my 8Ight-E 2.0 unless we are on a proper track. That said, I let my son use the Stampede VXL with 2s which goes about 70kph+. The 8ight-E can go just as quick, but the weight of it is about 3x as much.

faraon - Sorry you are having a problem with your 8IGHT-E 2.0. You buggy should definitely go as fast as if not faster than you previous nitro buggy. What temps are you seeing on the ESC, motor, and battery? Have you tried recalibrating the ESC to the radio? Are you getting a green light on the ESC when you pull full throttle?
