Thanks, I do try to make em look good...
I am currently using traxxas 50k diff fluid, which seems to be just the right thickness to keep the truck straight and it still turns fine. It will lift an inside rear tire on hard turns, but it does as well as the revo.

The battery tray is very well made, the lipo is protected really good. The weight distribution with the lipo in front is also nice, other conversions are often so ass-heavy. |
Thanks, I do have a 1521 1y to put in. Honestly the hacker c50 xl has plenty of power, I even have the punch control set at 50%. No real need for more power, but I do want to run higher gearing. Plus the hacker will go in my 6x6 lst based project, as that truck will be geared for about 35mph max.
The battery tray was easy to make, just cut the kydex to the right shape with a bandsaw and folded the sides up with a wood block, bench vice and a heat gun. The rear mounted battery setups must handle like crap, way too much weight in the back.
