looks impressive:gasp:

Team Awesome! Totally awesome! :lol:


On a serious note, that looks to be some nice machine work on that dual motor mount. Thats the same idea Linc had for his 5b. I say the sketchs of the motor mount drawn up. I think Linc was planning on using 2 Neu 1521/1Y/S motors on 6s each instead.

It moves pretty good for what it is!

Linc also said he'd love me in the morning, but he won't even look me in the eye anymore after the vile things he did to me

Did any one notice the smoking tires at 4:10? sweetness:diablo::mdr:

After fooling with the 5b a bit I decided the chassis was just not good for a conversion. The gas motor is a stressed member of the rear chassis, and it would be better to design a better suited chassis for electric. It could be much lighter and stronger.

My power options were to be a pair of 1521 2y motors on 12s lipo.

His idea is not too bad, but the motors have too high kv, the pinions are too big and the use of 4s is a joke. I would go with 1200kv motors, and 6s lipo. I have a feeling a pair of 1515 3y motors, with MMMs on 6s lipo would be the ticket, if you made a composite chassis that was much lighter.

I plan to make a 5b sized vehicle, 4wd using muggy components. This will be very simple and should work well. It will be light too, around 12lbs. Just going to take a while, way too much going on these days.

The 5B chassis is designed to carry the weight of that great big 2 stroke motor. I don't think it's a great car for conversion either.
