Boss 302: Yeah, I kinda figured it was possible, I was just curious what pinion to use with a 40T spur and a good matching motor for 12 cells.

midnit: Well, I would use the stock disc brake setup. I'd prefer to use that anyway as electronic braking just reduces runtime. I;ve heard of brushed ESCs that actually charge the batts during braking, but not sure if that is available in a brushless ESC.

Mike: Those directions would be handy. That was one aspect that I was wondering about. If you do come across that file, please do post it.

Squee: How would the 52T spur fit without cutting into the chassis? The 40T is pretty close as it is.

carzyjr: actually, depending on how the gearing works, I may just keep the two speed.

I would be doing the FOC, which of course wouldn't really remove reverse as long as I do something with the OWB in the tranny. It would just be really nice and tidy to be able to use almost all stock parts (brake, tranny, center shafts, slipper, etc) except for a fabricated motor mount for the BL motor. Converting a Nitor Revo would be a lot easier that way. Plus, offering an electric production conversion kit would just involve mounting a battery tray and motor mount, not the whole chassis.
