I've been racing my electric Revo for a few months now and am having a blast. My second project is my brushless 1/8th scale buggy. I picked up a MBX-5 from ebay for $400 bucks and sold the nitro stuff off for $100.
My buddy helped me fab a chassis plate using the original as a template. Here are some pics of the maiden voyage...

Unfortunately I fried the controller on the day these pics were taken so I am going to re-fab a center diff mount and use a 62t center diff to lower the gearing.
The tricky part of this whole setup has been the gearing. The 13t pinion gear was taken off the primary gear shaft of an emaxx. I haven't found any 1mod pinion gears with 5mm bores smaller than 13t.

I'd appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction.

I should have the new mounts done in a week or so...

Cheers :cool:
