OK, here it is, don't laugh :) Yes, that is a hacked up motor pod and axle from an RC10L superspeedway. Was not a pretty setup, but was remarkably smooth and relatively free spinning. The hard part was lining everything up to get the proper tension on the belt, did not want to improvise a whole tensioner system. All of the electronics and batteries were kept under the seat which kept them away from the moisture, but again made it top heavy. Maybe this winter I'll get 'er up and running again, shouldn't take too much time. Oh yeah, don't ask how I got the metal pulley to attach to the 10L hub, was a nightmare. not as easy as you might think... big problem if not completely smooth where its bolted on... (think shredded belts)
