It looks like a damn easy way to make a brushless savage conversion... and it must save weight as well? Hmm... and on top of that you can center the motor. Nice :)

The CD is a losi 8ight-t model. It is pretty easy to do the conversion, the hard part for me was lining all the holes up correctly and making the cuts correctly as I have VERY limited tools (read: electric drill, hacksaw, and metal file). I made tiny errors in lining up the holes all the time and had to constantly drill out the holes extra to make things fit. Other than that it has been pretty easy.
I wanted to be able to side mount the CD in the chassis so I could lower the motor and mount it on the side opposite the CD, but there wasnt enough room to have them side by side. On the savage-central forums in the project area, theres a guy who made a custom chassis and widened the area between the plates, and he made a CD mount for his nitro truck and has the nitro motor laying next to the CD, very cool idea.
