Redcat Rampage TT/Outrunner Question..
 

I'm doing some brainstorming and wanted some feedback.

Does anyone see any problems with trying to use this:

as a direct drive in place of the center differential in this

...?

I haven't crunched the #'s yet, but figure many of the issues with largeer conversions are with the pinion and spur gears, this approach would eliminate that.

As well, there would still be room to run a pair of 6s lipos in series alongside for good weight distribution.

that looks like a great idea. other people who have converted their rampages have needed custom gears and a ton of modification done to their trucks. your setup makes much more sense and looks much cheaper as well.

That motor is huge, fyi.

Its probably equivalent to an 80cc engine.

What about this one- http://hobbyking.com/hobbycity/store..._170Kv_/_3250W

Might be a bit easier to work with and is still equivalent to a 25-45cc gasser. And only $60!
