K.I.S.S 5ive-T Conversion -
09.01.2012, 07:15 AM
I've made a start on my conversion and have decided not to do any work this evening as I bowled today and am suprisingly sore so I figured I'd begin my thread.
I purchased the RCM conversion kit but have put a few twist in here and there to make things work for me. I Have made a servo mount for a brake servo on the left hand side of the layout. To fit the RCM battery tray, I took to it with the angle grinder and come up with a l shaped mount around the servo that'll hold one of the four lipos I'll use in the set up. The steering servo has remainded in the original mount although the mount has also been cut down to only accommodate the servo and rx. The servo mount was made using 50mmx50mmx3mm angle aluminium and fit around the drive shaft to keep the speedo up safe where the air flow will be and the mount will also be used to mount the bec pro. I fitted an RCM center diff locker and I'm almost finished the battery box, I'm sick of wasting money on lipo's when the velcro has broken during one of many specy crashes, it sux and I recon more time should be spent protecting them so the box is made of aluminium and will be lined with 5mm rubber foam and then strapped in tight with a carbon fiber lid using a 500kg rated pull strap, they should be fine. I'm kinda sick of typing atm, I hope to finish in the next few days and I'll post some more, here's a few pic's.
