NandaRacing NRT-3 Brushless
 

Hi!

Here are a few pics of my NRT-3 converted to brushless (of course :lol:)

It is not completely done, but it drives and handles very well so far :party:

- Hobbywing EZRun 150A ESC + 2350KV Combo
- Novak dual battery box kit
- 2x Suspect 5400mAh 7.4V batteries
- RCM Motor mount

Why are your trays mounted off the edge of the chassis? move them towards the middle as close as possible that the idea of the forward motor design.

I didn't want to drill any holes in the chassis, as it is quite expensive :P
I haven't had any problems with the battery location so far, but i'm still trying different motor and battery locations to see what is best.

ive never seen or heard of a nanda brand car, where are they from?

I think it's Taiwan ;-)
In Europe and Asia it is called NandaRacing, but can't rememper the american "name".

I'd turn the batts around so you can shorten the esc wires a bit.

I tried turning the batteries around, but the wires would hit against the centerdiff.

I think you may find your handling very much improved with the batteries closer to the centerline of the chassis. an extra 2 holes on each side isn't going to kill the value of the chassis compared to you actually running the chassis for the first time.

TQ rebrands/sells the NandaRacing cars in the US - they are pretty decent cars. :)

I am still testing some different designs, and i went with the "classic" deisgn, with the battery in one side and the motor in the other side of the chassis.
It handles much better, as the design with the motor in the front is pretty nose-heavy.

I will post an update soon :-)

- And thanks for the info, Mike..

What mount are you using? I'm thinking of converting the Nanda NRB-3

It's a Mugen motormount from RCM - almost direct fit.

cheers. What did you have to do to it?

Not really anything :-)
I only needed to make 2 of the holes in the center diff brace (http://www.morfars.dk/rc/center-diff...61-p-3846.html) a little bit bigger.

ok thank you very much
