My first nitro to brushless conversion!

[bdebde]

I have always been an electric guy, never touched a nitro in my life (20 years in R/C). After having 2 brushless systems in electric vehicles, and tearing up parts, I could really see why the nitro conversions are so popular; for the more solid drive trains. So I decided to post my first nitro conversion here since you guys seem to do it the best. I decided to start out with a 1/10th scale, since not ever running 1/8th (no nitro, remember,lol). I knew I needed 4 wheel drive, my other mamba is in a HPI RS4, and I had always wanted one of the RS4 MT electrics back in the day. So here was the logical choice; HPI nitro MT2 18SS! It has Mamba Max 5700 (changed to 4600 until I can handle THAT), Apogee 3800 3s li-mn batts. I used a 3mm gpm chassis and gpm center spur holder and HPI graphite upper deck, after my first runs on the stock chassis showed it to have WAY to much flex. Even put some turnbuckles from front to center and rear to center to stiffen it up, but that just tore up the stock plastic spur mount. Still trying to find tire/mamba setting combo that will hook up, this thing is insane!

So here ya go check it out:
