Cen Nemesis brushless conversion
 

I'm the new guy here and though I'd share my converted nemesis. I bought it used a couple years ago off craigslist for $180 and only drove it a few times since then.

As you can see I was very excited when I got it.

As with every nitro it runs good when I get it, and the more I "tune" the more of a PITA it is. So I finally decided to convert it. Fired up the old solidworks and scanned the chassis plates in. It took a couple evenings to design the mounts and overall I'm very happy. I kept the original differential and driveshafts to keep the cost down.


I ran it with a $40 hobbyking motor until my I could get a better motor.

Well the motor didn't last long. Maybe 10 minutes of light to medium driving. The motor was over 100c and the solder at the connectors melted.

I finally snagged a 1520 on ebay for $100. Kinda upset I set the alarm wrong and missed the auction for the new 1717 that ended for $107. Oh well, This motor is still powerful enough.

I don't have any pictures with the new motor because it ripped 2 tires off the bead. Currently taping the tires and designing a diff locker.

Welcome to the club. I built my brushless nemesis like yours with a center diff and a 1717 for power on 6s wheelies real easy so I converted to 6x6 :)
So far the diff have all held up real well no broken parts!

Looks good dude.

The legendary aqwut approves of my truck :party: :lol:

Touch it! TOUCH IT!
