Nice video bro.. wich combo and battery do u use?

[@alexbenz8462]

I am currently converting my ARC R8.2 to electric. Translation is according to instructions 57/27, isn't it a bit too long? I've already rebuilt it with a Hobbywing Combo XR8 Plus and 2600 Kv Combo, but the ESC was way too hot

[@MartinM7H]

Hi, with the Hobbywing Xr8, you need the optional power caps, if you run more then a 2000kv motor. That probably why it was to hot.

[@chrisgraf1304]

Dang, these dudes can steer

[@illmatic_95]

How does it handle with the lack of actual suspension

[@MartinM7H]

This Taipan is converted, and has some suspension in the front.

[@alamkhan3732]

Woow really nice driving, could you please give info on which Motor and Esc the cars are using please.

[@MartinM7H]

The info is already there.

[@suaveystyles9292]

Damn they move...

[@stevenlui8105]

What is the gear ratio (pinion & spur gear) used on the 988e taipan?

[@MartinM7H]

I believe 16/57

[@danny355]

These look very nice to drive, although you guys have some serious skill obviously. Is there much difference between the Viper and Taipan? Is one easier to drive than the other? Run time with 4s lipo is around 6 miniutes? Or is that 2s? How long do tyres last? Sorry for all the questions! PS. Thanks for the upload, watched this a few times now!

[@MartinM7H]

Hi, On this very smooth track, the Taipan (from Julius) is faster then the Viper (my car) but on a more bounce surface he cannot keep up with me. We drive 4S lipo (2x 2S) Tyres last the same as for nitro. But I always use old tyres from my nitro car, and run them nearly to the rim.

[@rbrown_barber4231]

Taipan is a 1/8 pan car. Pan cars run the best on smooth surfaced tracks.

Nice!!

[@burhan999]

which one is taipan?

[@MartinM7H]

The one in front in the beginning of the video.

[@小恩-z8k]

Which one is the viper ？

[@MartinM7H]

The 2nd car at the start of the video.

[@alamkhan3732]

Which one of the cars was driving by stick stransmittter, not that it matters im just curious , thanks.

[@MartinM7H]

The orange/blue Taipan, which is in front at the start of the video.

[@どすこい-o2j]

Serpent taipan 988e was about 15 seconds per lap, but "kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6a8coytgdqeadE" is about 14 seconds. I thought the taipan was faster, but is the engine faster? Or is it just reversed due to differences in tires and road conditions?

[@MartinM7H]

Im also in that video, starting from 3rd. But the taipan or viper are around the same laptimes as nitro 8th scale.

Hallo, wie kann das sein ein Auto mit 2450KV vs. 1900KV und beide gleich schnell... ?

4s => WOOW => mmm => i'm thingking let's do 8s ;-D

[@jackstephens6944]

Excellent driving, im considering buying either of these Guess the std 988e is the best buy with a view to racing?

[@MartinM7H]

Don't know, it's your call. I mainly drive the car for training purposes, don't really race with it, racing I do with my 989.

[@Tamico777]

Welche 2s lipos würdest du für die serpent modelle empfehlen? Leider sind nicht alle Lipo Hersteller gut, ehrlich und haben genug power..

[@MartinM7H]

Hi, I drive the arrowmax 7800mAh HV and arrowmax 8200mAh lipos, and am really happy with them! I believe intellect/IP batteries are also good.
