The CF Beast is down!!!
 

While upgrading the pinion gear in my GTP I noticed the gear mesh was off a but. Upon further inspection, the motor mount was bent by about 2 to 3 degrees. Always a freaking set back, but that just means I have to make my own. I figure a quarter inch aluminum angle should be strong enough to hold the motor. More to come.

Back up and running
 

Finally got the beast back up and running. Built the mount out of some leftover 1/8 inch angle. Upgraded the pinion to 24t and the foams to Ipanema 45 shore rubbers. Even on a three cell, it is beastly fast. Tomorrow, it runs the 5 cell again. Even had a little fun with the neighbors kid. He just finished a E-Maxx and was having a good time with it. Gave him a big head start, made it up and left him. It wasn't a fair race to start with but he lined up.

Here are the new wheels and motor mount.

Looks good. Beating that e-maxx may have just lit a lifelong r/c fire under that boys butt!

Yeah he was asking about brushless motors after that.:mdr:

What motor is that? Neu-****?

The motor is a Castle 2200/HPI FLux motor. On 5s it is brutal.
