another update! hoorah.

cut the servo plate (opted for the aluminium one over the pro fibre one as it was easier to cut), and sanded it down.

recieved my motor today (1512 2D S) really nice a bit grubby but i cleaned it up nice. has a great green tinge to it, love it! absolutely no play in the shaft and easy to spin.

BUT i also bought mikes neu end cover (updated version) and i cant figure out how its supposed to go on. there are the 3 wires, then a bit of plastic stuff (like fuel tubing almost) then a thick black rubber cover protruding 3-5mm from each wire... how on earth do i get this cover on!

pic soon. any advice.

also how does it stay there?? (i assume u force it over the plastic rubber bits and that holds it on.

i also cut a bit of lexan and blocked up the front of the motor (yes im paranoid!)

will these covers hurt temps or not really?




i need help with battery placement guys!

its too low to stack 2 sick packs of a123 under on the other side opposite to the motor, so i need some suggestions. i also thought about cutting off the centre screw mount thing on the skid plate (and gluing or something the middle of it down) then see if it will fit then... the other option is to mount it above the centre diff and make a brace above the rear brace... so im stuck... HELP!!!
