GS racing SUT CE conversion

[rootar]

finished it up today,

got mikes battery tray mounted, the flightpower fits PERFECT, i dremeled out a small channel where its next to the spur and its as close to the middle as possible.

here is the cradle motor mount i changed my desigin so that the rc-monster heatsink / cradle sits all the way down on the chassis, its also clamped and supported in the rear and i still have to paint the rear support black to match everything else.

very solid

also im glad the 10xl came in black to go along with everything else i was dreading having a purple motor stick out like a sorethumb, guess i got lucky or is that a thank you mike?

hahaha you wont get to see this baby go off the ramp, the LS10 is gearing up for a record attempt jump but thats another subject, im building this truck to RACE and spank some nitro ass.

as for the motor mount read above a few post and youll find it

Here she is all finished up, as is with the big honkin MT tires, and no esc im at 9.1 pounds, is that heavy or light? or normal for a 5s setup? im geared 14/54 and once i drop the extra weight of the mt treads for some LPRs or komodo LPs ill have it geard for about 37ish with a 6% loss.

you can also see the tmaxx reciver box in the photo (thanks bl-revo)

i think it turned out good and clean now just gotta paint that back half of the motor mount to match and get an ESC.

plans with the low gearing is for 25 min runtimes and cooler esc, hopefully itll be under 9 pounds rtr with the MUCH lighter tires and the esc installed, oh and i gotta put my wing mounts and wing on off the storm buggy when they come in.


well howd i do for my first "nice" build ?

Nice, but you should not use the motor as chassis brace.
Your chassis will flex, and with the motor like that, you' re asking for trouble.
