I am thinking of using this motor

or this one

I plan on using a 2 or 3 cell lipo

What do you guys think? Am I on the right track.

Stormer hobbies are selling the chaos right now for 99 bucks! I might buy one just to play with as it is!

And I did just buy one! Man I need to stop buying RCs!

Good luck with your conversion and post up some pics!

i was thinking the same thing. i also seen it somewhere else for about the same price. i wonder if its soon to be clearenced out? could be just holiday sales though

Who knows? I think that they are trying to clear them out, stormer often has deals like this when products are being discontinued.

If found it in ebay for $78,87.

It has a wide alu chassis, very nice for electric conversion. :intello:

Do you know what pitch is the spur gear? 32p or MOD1?

This is the cheapest I have found it

I tryed to e-mail sporkwerks about the spur gear pitch, but they have not gotten back to me.
What are you going to use for a motor mount?

How many RC's do you have now??

I think the Mini Quake's motor mount will work.

Just orderd this motor:

I will try it with my Mamba 25 frist, and then decide what ESC I want.

I have about 40 right now. Must have about 15 4wd monster trucks/truggies at the monent. A couple of boats, some 2wd stadium truks, 1/8 buggies, on road larger scale, a few minis, and a selection of tamiya vehicles!

That is a good motor, I used it with a quark 33 and it worked very well. It was in a tamiya 10th scale fwd vehicle. It was a great setup, but it was a bit heavy and the motor ran too warm for my liking. I am sure that it will work well for your application.

The pitch may be 48 pitch, or possibly metric 48p, tamiya uses those on the on road vehicles.

Thanks for the info on the motor.

WOW!! 40 RC's thats alot

just fyi, i was reading a bit on rcu about these and people are stripping the diffs with the stock .05 motor. you're probably going to see some issues with brushless power. there is a question whether on not the irc gears will fit. they have a metal gear upgrade.

Ya, I read that about the diffs on RCU. Thanks for the heads up thou
I hope someone will try the IRC gears. if it works that will be a great way to upgrade

I measured the spur: it's 32 pitch. :yipi:
