BL MBX-5 Near completion. Pics - 03.24.2007, 01:43 PM

Almost done. Going to the shop today to make the battery tray and CVD drive cup, then it will be done. I am going to list the steps and parts I used to make everything just in case someone likes the design. I tried to use as many stock parts as I could for replacement sake and still get the layout I wanted.

Front Cvd assembly is the short T/E Maxx MIP drive shaft.
Rear CVD assembly is LST axle and custom made cup on the rear diff to fit.
Center diff is the HB with the kyosho 44T plastic spur.
Center diff is mounted with the stock front mount.
Custom aluminum rear mount with integrated motor mount.
Stock HB top plate.
Moved the Center diff forward so everything is mounted on the chassis.
Maxamps 8AH 4S2P 14.8V pack with 12 gage wires.
MM ESC with all wires changed to 12 gage.
Neu 1515/2Y/F.
Neu 6MM connectors between motor/ESC/Battery.
3amp switching BEC 6V.
Rear chassis brace mounted on opposite side.
Rear chassis brace stock mount is just flipped with minimal machine work.
Front chassis brace is just moved on the chassis to clear the center diff.
Stock steering servo mount with throttle part dremeled off.

When it is complete I will have a weight. It is off balance to the battery side but not by much. I will scale it once it is done. I wanted every thing to be mounted on the chassis and as low as possible. That is the reason for moving the center diff forward to allow room for the battery. There was no room for the 10AH battery. It came together easier than I thought it was going to. I kinda stumbled on the center shafts and they are perfect length for where I wanted the diff and they are stock stuff to boot. The aluminum stuff is bead blasted and I am going to paint it. The gearing is 24/44. I know what you all are thinking. Why in the world is he running a 1515/2y with a 1100KV? HAHA Well I got it for a song. Thought I would try it to see how it worked first. I plan on either the 1512 or 1515 around 2000-2500 KV if this doesn't pan out. I did run it last night on the asphalt and it seams fine but I wonder about the heat and efficiency. I had some cogging issues from the start to where I had to reboot it. I changed some of the settings in the MM and then it seemed much better. Sure hope the fix is almost ready.
