So i was at ben's house today, and besides the bash from hell returning to haunt me, we decided to work on my supervader, and we finally got it running! It was a pain and a half, but thanks to the heated garage, we finally managed to get it running last minute before I had to go home. we had to extend the motor mount slots, mod the slipper to house a mod1 spur gear, shave down the plastic housing of the transmission, and then carve off some of the fins of my 8L and finally it all fit! by that point i got the call that my dad was on his way, so we just rushed, put the lipo on, and then took the entire sharkfin from the hyper 7 and placed it ontop of the lipo, plugged in ben's dsm rx and let it dangle, then ziptied the whole thing together, and ran it on a nearly dead 5S lipo. it was amazingly fast!
^the extended motor plate^
^plastic 47T spur gear pressed and CA'ed onto the slipper plate^
^how tight of a fit, after shaving down the tranny house^
^Done all the work to the vader itself^
^My Fiegao 8L after I ate a chunk out of it^
^the motor finally fits!^
^zipties + sharkfin = 30 seconds to wire for testing!^
FYI there isnt much you can hear in the vids... my phone decided to not stop playing music while shooting videos, and it kinda made them sound really REALLY bad...
^the tires balloon so much they start to peel off the rims!^
^there wasnt any servo in so it was just pin the wheels, put it down and do donuts on the epoxy floor!^
