I figured I will get "creative" and figure out some way to hook up mechanical brakes. My idea was to have a brake disc with a 17mm hex, and bore out a metal 17mm hub, put that onto the end of the motor shaft, and then use the stock "pad and caliper" setup. I may do this with a 20 or 23mm hub also, depending on disc availability. As for a inrunner setup, where would I acquire a 20L Feigao? Where would I mount the batteries? I've realized that with Direct Drive, I cannot use that motor because the diameter, as it would make me completely remove the chassis braces. I have found this motor: http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/s...idProduct=5204 which has a much smaller diameter, and would only require a small amount of milling to the chassis, and a bit of dremeling to the braces. Since the motor has 55 more kv, an 8s setup seems suitable. Any ideas or retort, Aqwut? I am still open to inrunner setups, but a shorter can motor with a very low kv would be hard to obtain, and it seems the batteries would have to be mounted on one side.


Get me back into RC!
