I guess its my turn
 

I am starting a E-jato and am going to try something different, I got a revo motorplate and will try to modify it to my needs. I have Emailed Mike for a modified lower plate so i can drill and tap my own holes for the chassis. I have measured it up using the biggest spur and pinion i got and i can solid mount the motor plate and use the motor screws to adjust gearing. I am waiting on batteries in my camera to charge up and its 3:26AM here so i'll post pics sometime tomorrow. If i can get a bigger motorplate from mike, It will work great. I will be using the new traxxas 48P wrap-around gears

hook up those pics... inquiring minds want to know!! lol

Ok here you go

Just a hint: Keep all the weight you can towards the rear or you'll have issues hooking-up. Unless of course you like spinning out all the time. :)

I got a plan for that

Care to share what that plan is?

I thought about installing the ESC and/or radio in the back battery box, but didn't really want anything that exposed if (more like "when") I land wrong...

I'm going to put a battery box on it, and use lead weights for ballast. Besides i think the raised motor will help with weight transfer

what motor, esc, and batteries are you going to use?

Plan for now is a mamba 5700 or 7700 with 2s 5500 saddles from Maxamps
