Actualy all parts are custom made and designed by self. I have CNC.
Battery box made from derlin and all aluminium parts from 6061-T6 grade.
Castle motor runs realy nice but bit hot imho its have too much torque for my taste but a little bit play with trottle expos and hight torque now under control.
I run for now a 4S lipo. And motor temp is 56C=~132F with ambient 3C=~35F after 10min of race.
Trugy was geared to ~42mph by top speed estimator. I need to buy smaller pinion to gearŽit for lower speed, its too much for our local winter track
Batteries are used Zippy-H (5000mah 4S) and Zippy-R (2x2500mah 4S in parallel)
Full RTR weight is 4410g=~9.7lbs

Great conversion. the truggy looks little heavy at left side, maybe you can place smaller LiPo pack at right side to balance the chassis?
