Now thats a big motor

Yes, its running an 11.1 Volt Li-Poly Pack.

I have this picture of the motor mount, but it was only a prototype. The New one has more adjustment, a thicker, wider base, and a bigger motor shaft cutout. It will also be machines much better, but here is the prototype.

I can imagine on 11.1V this motor stays cool. May I ask what pinion this is? And is it hardened?

I'm actually trying to find out what kind of pinion it is myself. But yes, its hardened. I will have pinions availble in the future.

As for the motor, it stays pretty darn cool.

When it comes to it, I'll case harden some pinions from RC-Monster Mike. Or he will have a hardened batch himself. His new 5mm pinions ROCK!!

PerformanceRC, I would suggest a motorbrace for the feigao. May save you serious trouble.

Everyone says I need a motor mount, but I have run it in several trucks/buggies for many many months with no problems. I even took the buggy off a couple of roofs with that motor.

I suppose I should buy one just in case, but I have to say, they sure arent pretty.

Well, you can make something yourself. Petty simple, and if you use alu rods, you can also anodize them.

Here's what I did:

That one looks nicer IMO, Nice revo too!!

Mike needs to seel hardened piniosn too.

I wonder if that buggy has the room to mount 12 sub-c cells.

It would be tough if you kept the motor where it is. I tried and you would have to come up with something very special.

Thanks. I like your conversion too. I'll do an 8th scale buggy one fine day.

If enough people show interest, I'm sure Mike will get a hardened batch of pinions.
