Motor Mount for 1/7th HB Lightning??

[lincpimp]

I have the 1/7 scale lightning too. i also have a lsp with the mount in it. I am sure that you could repalce the 2 speed and put a center diff or ctr spur. I will take a look at the mount patterns and spacing and let you know. I think i will keep my 1/7 lightning nitro, it is kind of fun that way. everything else is electric though.

Thanks - that would be great to know if it fits. That thing would be awesome with a kick butt elec setup in it!

The biggest reason I'm interested is the noise - places where I run it, I wind up getting chased off due to the noise. What I don't know is if that's the real reason or just the excuse. It is def one of the most fun rcs I own and its a shame not to have a reliable place to run it. Somewhere I know I'll be able to at least finish the tank off before I get asked to leave.

My B'day is coming up soon and my present (rumor) is going to be another onroad - my 1st Kyosho, their 1/8th Inferno based F430GT Ferrai rtr, so I will have some added incentive to keep exploring for a good place (parking lot) to run.

The body on that kyosho looks sooooooo cool, very well decaled too!

Just checked with my micrometer. The bolt spacing to mount the bulks to the chassis is the same on both the street and the lsp. I am sure that the bearing size is the same. Both are assembled so I cannot be sure. Would you be running the stock 2speed or go with a ctr diff? I see no need for the 2 speed, electric has plenty of power and the street's stock gearing only gets to a radar verified 45mph.

Center diff, that was my take on it also - no need for the 2 speed. Thanks for measuring that, I'll be picking up the mount this week for that project. Work is supposed to slow way down and I'm going to have some time finally to catch up on some of my rc work thats just been sitting. Thats the downside to being a consultant - you work when clients need things done.

Part of the reason for the Kyosho rtr - time - just pick it up and go play, no tinkering or fiddling needed!
