Losi 8t conversion finished

[jayjay283]

The brakes are really bad on the 8T-15-1y/MM no matter what the setting I have it at, loud noise that just cant be good for the motor or diffs. I need mechanical brakes ! I know the pros and cons, can always put is back minus a couple holes im going to have to drill. Heres my idea

old pic but setups the same:
1. use 4 U.E TMaxx Servo mounts 'link' and bite the Tekno brake/steering servo setup
2. Put receiver in the waterproof RX box from my emaxx in the rear behind the battery
4. flip over the esc mount so it faces angled towords the front for a bit more air
5. ordered a brake spacer for the motor from Mike.
should make the wiring alot cleaner keeping most of it in the rear, what do ya think ?

I have a quick video (impatient wife) of the weird braking noise, does anyone know whats up with it ?? This is my 1st electric with a center diff but that just doesnt sound right.

That's normal. I hear that sound from my 1515 1Y everytime I hit the brakes.

By the way, nice build. Now I'm torn between the MBX5T prospec and Losi 8T for my next build .
