1/8 buggys with outrunner power

Yeah, Mike should be able to do that too- just throw some money at him, and he'll do almost anything usually . Some good diagrams with measurements should be all he needs.

OK, I'll drop him an e-mail. Thanks, Don

Hey i have an outrunner powered Duratrax Raze, i used a piece of 2inch angle aluminum on my car. I Talk to takedown almost daily... Sike, myself and Takedown know about these conversions if you need help

Your Raze looks good! Have you put in the other drive shaft yet? Don

[brushlessboy16]

yep had to get a warhead front shaft, but its awesome, tires dont stand a chance though..

This is how my outrunner powered buggy looks atm, just needs an ESC

[brushlessboy16]

Glad you finally got it together RcMonkey. i remember building mine you were on my thread 24/7 asking questions. Good questions!! i enjoy answering good questions lol

I'm concerned with the thinkness of the motor mount, without the additional usage of a rear motor brace. In the past I had a mount of greater thickness bend with a Feigao 8L off of a small jump. The idea looks great, just needs more thickness IMO.

my 1/8th inch aluminum mount holds up fine..

To me that material looks about 1/16", though.

I see it flexing quite a bit too. Maybe he could triangulate it forward to the chassis with a link on each side?

I toyed with the idea of making a bracket that could support the other end of the outrunner, with a bearing around the shaft. That way it is bearing supported at each end, not just the mount end. I decided not to, but i am just running a smaller axi in the redcat, which is 10th scale. And my mount is reasonably thick 6061 t6 al.

I agree, as soon as I get my 5mm bore drive cups from UE I'm going to send the car,motor and all to RC Monster Mike. I know he will do it right. Don

The mount is made from 2mm steel I found that was ready bent so there aint alot of flex I wanted to make a rear mount with one of the CD mounts but there isn't enough motor shaft showing to allow a bearing to run on the shaft as well as the drive cups.

[brushlessboy16]

Yeah, steel would make a difference lol
