Is one of those motors in the last pic much fatter than the other or is it just my eyes playing tricks on me?????

I had a machinist press a fitting inside the hub which in turn eliminated the one way bearing and allows me reverse and motor bakes. Eventually I am going to eliminate the AL bottom battery brace and replace it with carbon fiber...
I am running a 1800kv on 6s and it flies...haven't quite dialed in the esc for a little drag brake, motor brakes yet but working on it. The first time I took it out I almost totaled the car..missed a concrete light stanchion by inches doing 50mph+ This is my first true on road car as it has a learning curve as I only have been running in the dirt |
Thanks for that pics guys. This is going to help immensely with my Serpent 960 conversion I think I am going to do the batteries the same way as you did magman. I hope I can get some 4-5mm thick carbon fiber plate and make like a wide pan chassis so that the batteries can fit on the sides of the chassis. I think that would be the neatest and easiest solution (posibly the lightest as well). Do you guys think that 5mm thick carbon fiber would be ok for the main chassis (bare in mind it will be a lot wider and hold the lipos on the sides)???? Once again thanks the pictures. Great help.
