MGT 3.0 Conversion - Page 2 - RC-Monster Forums

I really don't like the MGT3.0 for a conversion, there isn't much room for the battery. I can't recall who, but someone here has done one and the battery was in a wierd spot. If you could do a gorilla style chassis i think you'd be fine, but i think it will be quite a challenge

or ditch the transmission entirely, put a big outrunner really low in the chassis so you can have the whole chassis for battery and esc etc.

The battery wont be mounted like that. It fits nicely, parallel to the chassis on that side. I just have to make a custom-sized tray for it. Initial tests of this conversion are very promising.

Oh, you noticed that huh?

Lets' see... some extra padding in the case, removed the plastic bars around the fan/sides of the heatsink for better air flow, oh- and I turned the bullets into solder pads.

I had the issue where the bullets were contacting the heatsink, so I fixed it. The area around the heatsink/wires is sealed with hot glue.

BB16 would you mind editing the pictures out of your post? They take up too much space, which is why I posted them as a link.

EDIT- Uh thanks, but you didn't have to delete your entire post...........

So I ran it for about 20 min. today. No problems at all! I tweaked the settings on the MMM and it starts perfectly 90% of the time. There is no lack of torque with this setup. I am going to need a wheelie bar for sure! After few min. of WOT through the grass the motor was just getting warm to the touch, and the battery/MMM don't care what I do. I ended up bolting on the tray I had instead of making another one.
