Any Super Baja Rey 1.0 owners here?

I’m curious about running it on 8S and wonder if anyone has been down that path.

Did the motor hold up?

What 4S lipos fit in that bastard of a battery tray?

-> Apparently not.

Specifically to your questions. What is the motor ESC combo? The 2.0 shows it's 8S compatible, I couldn't find any documents on the original.

Lol I guess not.

ESC is a Max6 rebrand (8S capable) and the motor is a 5888 1200kv officially rated for 6S. But I’m curious if it holds up to 8S.

And the battery tray is very tight.

6S to 8S is a bit of jump. I suspect it will be toast, but if you don't care you can always run it an see what happens.

The other alternative is to keep an eye on the classifieds and see who is selling what. 8S motors come up pretty often.
