no, I don't have any motors, i have a speed-T and it's Xcelorin system came bad, so I'm going to get a new combo for that, but that's a little to small to put in a muggy, and i don't have any brushed ones either, I'm not sure what you mean by stand in, but I don't have any motors

I got the RC-Monster Muggy Electric Motor Mount today
I got the RC-Monster Muggy Electric Motor Mount today, I also got Acer Racing's ceramic nitride diff balls for my Speed-T. Here's a ton of pics:

lookin good, why mech brakes?
|
to spare the electric system from the extra stress and heat produced by electric braking, kaz the minotaur recommended it
|
I found a way that i can better balance the weight and still use mechanical breaks. The reason that i was going to mount the motor and battery on the same side was so that i could use mechanical breaks without having to find a separate mount for the break servo, but now I found a way to mount the break servo on the other side onto a good foundation, now if I could just find my extra 2 servo trays that I got because I needed stand offs, I could do it and I could post some pictures. Once I find it I will post new pictures.
My new plan is to put the motor and ESC where the radio box was, and the battery where the engine used to be, and the brake servo where the fuel tank used to be. |
sounds like a plan :D
|
Looking good young fella. Keep up the good work.
|
Just a thought, but it will handle and jump better with the battery farther forward on the chassis. If you could put the battery in the fuel tank location and the brake servo in the back, or behind the center diff sideways next to the rear brace, it will most likely be better.
I experimented quite a bit with battery placement, and further forwards always made the trucks steer better, and jump more level. Rear battery placement caused nose up jumping, and weak steering when on power due to weight distribution. |
wow, that's something good to know, because of the spur gear the only place really to mount the battery is where the engine used to be, if i tried to put the servo where the engine used to be, i wouldn't be able to put it back very far because of the spur gear, and the battery wouldn't fit in the front. but that is a very good point, and i think that most of my weight will be more located towards the back.
anybody know about a tool for making wholes suit flat head screws? I stink at making countersunk wholes in the chassis, my flathead screws always stick out a little and i don't want them to break off. |
or put the motor where the raidio box was, then put the battery where the nitro was
um i beleive u need a mill to slot the chassis |
a mill as in a cnc machine? all of my drill bits aren't slanted enough to make the whole slanted enough to flush the head of the screw with the chassis, but i found one that was slanted enough, and used that and another and the head is pretty much flush. I'm happy i'll post some pics soon.

you can buy countersinking bits
|
where?
|
i got mine at my local auto parts store
|
Hardware store should have countersink bits.
