I really don't like the MGT3.0 for a conversion, there isn't much room for the battery. I can't recall who, but someone here has done one and the battery was in a wierd spot. If you could do a gorilla style chassis i think you'd be fine, but i think it will be quite a challenge

or ditch the transmission entirely, put a big outrunner really low in the chassis so you can have the whole chassis for battery and esc etc.

It's ALIVE!!!
 

...And it does standing backflips!!! :surprised: :lol: :yipi:

The battery wont be mounted like that. It fits nicely, parallel to the chassis on that side. I just have to make a custom-sized tray for it. Initial tests of this conversion are very promising.

:whistle: Oh, you noticed that huh? :rofl: Lets' see... some extra padding in the case, removed the plastic bars around the fan/sides of the heatsink for better air flow, oh- and I turned the bullets into solder pads. :rofl: I had the issue where the bullets were contacting the heatsink, so I fixed it. The area around the heatsink/wires is sealed with hot glue.

BB16 would you mind editing the pictures out of your post? They take up too much space, which is why I posted them as a link.

EDIT- Uh thanks, but you didn't have to delete your entire post........... :neutral:

So I ran it for about 20 min. today. No problems at all! I tweaked the settings on the MMM and it starts perfectly 90% of the time. There is no lack of torque with this setup. I am going to need a wheelie bar for sure! After few min. of WOT through the grass the motor was just getting warm to the touch, and the battery/MMM don't care what I do. I ended up bolting on the tray I had instead of making another one.
