T maxx hv conversion

[lincpimp]

Spent a few hours on the tmaxx today and basically have a roller now

Anyway, I have flipped the chassis over for better battery tray mounting, extended the chassis cutouts to make room for the revo center driveshafts. I used the really short revo 2.5 center shaft as the front driveshaft, and used a stock length wheel driveshaft for the rear center. I also modded the aftershock diffs to accept the rcm diff output adapters (drop in fit with the diffs) and the 8mm rcm driveshaft yoke for the diff pinion (required a little grinding for a perfect fit). Then assembled the arms and revo bearing carriers, using revo driveshafts. I also installed a set of blue ofna 17mm hubs.

Next up is to fabricate a set of battery trays (easy) and a motor mount platform (not so easy). I would like to use the rcm revo motor mount, and I have one and have been very happy with its performance and design so far. The only issue is that it may contact the rear center driveshaft, so I need to raise the base of the motor mount, while still retaining a solid mount. I am thinking some sort of bridge actoss the rear chassis cutout, and attaching the revo mount to that. I do not want to add too much weight, so I may make a new lower portion of the revo mount to bridge tha gap.

Heres some pics:





Now for a QUESTION: Does anyone know what linkages to use for steering and rear toe rods, as the tmaxx ones I have are too short. Do I need to buy revo links?
