Brushless lightning stadium

I dont see a dedicated thread so far to doing this so I think I shall do one, and hope that it will encourage others to dive in there and get creative.

I am no master machinist or fabricator like alot of people on this forum. I'm simply a 14yr old with a dremel and a bit of common sense. All i needed to do this whole conversion is simply a 12V power drill and a dremel.

I received a Lightning Stadium RR today in the mail (My mum wasn't terribly happy!) with the intention of creating the first brushless truggy in Scotland. Firstly, I removed the engine, pipe, fuel tank, radio box and throttle servo. I first cut off the area where the throttle servo was, as it protrudes the area where the cells and centre diff gear will go. Next; for some strange reason, Hot Bodies decided to cut the rectangle for the centre diff to the one side, so I had to cut the chassis at that are so I could reverse the centre diff for the motor to hang towards the front of the truck. Next thing on the list was the motor plate. The first thing you think when you see the motor plate is "This circle in the middle is where the drive cup can go through". Wrong! Because of the motor mounting bolt positions (assuming you have used the old brake mounting holes), they rub against the motor, and it cant be used.

... Continued tomorrow with more info and some pics (It's midnight!)
